The main reason for AP, is because your combo is Ult in, AA, Q, AA.
With a lich bane, that means that you do Ult > Lich Bane Proc > Q > Lich Bane + Q Proc.
Your standard build is Rylai's > Gunblade > Deathcap > defensive items like GA > situational items like void staff.
Items to avoid include Guinsoo's Rageblade, Trinity Force, and basically anything in that vein.
90% of the time you should get Sorc Shoes, but Merc Treads are essential when they have cc.

Full AP with Gunblade seems best.
"Blizzard spoke thus; Thou shalt not BM. And the players replied Nay, I shall Play my hand with Lethal already on the board. And so Blizzard sent unto them this Brawl of Yogg, As a lesson for their sins of Pride and Greed, for he is the Prophet of Madness and RNG. On that day, the tavern descended into an era of chaos and darkness, until the weekend passed and everyone forgot all about it. Amen. Book of SMOrc, Verse 20, Chapter 4." - Feam T
I think he's talking about building Gunblade early.
My opinion is that people like the stats it gives you, but I think it's much better just to go full AP then get Gunblade later.
If you want sustain pick up a Revolver early and that should do fine until you get your Gunblade.

You shouldn't build gunblade first unless you are losing your lane pretty hard.
If you play smart, Rylai's>Lich Bane>Deathcap>Gunblade should be your standard build.

Huge sustain.
Gunblade offers akali 37% spell vamp because of her passive.

Pretty much this.
But if you need more lane presence a revolver is a good idea.

I was wondering about this question and I have played both of kinds. For one hand, Akali AP. ítems: Rilay's, Bansky, Lichbane, Void Staff. If I'll get much harassed, I buy hextech gun for more survival with the spellvamp. If I build this items, I'll make a crazy dmg, I can dominate literally.
The other other build is; Hextech, Rilay's Bansky and Lichbane. With his build, I can realized that I don't make tons of damage than ap build, but for other hand I can considerer that I have more survival with that spellvamp. In other words, swap damage on survival (spellvamp). Well, If I want more survival I will build HP items, even resistances, that's why I don't like hybrid build.
With Akali, I love delete literally enemies' hp in mid/top lane. Akali is an anti-carry, that's why I think it's more viable build her as full AP instead of hybrid.
Can someone can tell me why is viable get Hextech gunblade?
Sorry for my english, I tried writting my best english.
