Akali

the Rogue Assassin

TopMidAssassin

Lore

Abandoning the Kinkou Order and her title of the Fist of Shadow, Akali now strikes alone, ready to be the deadly weapon her people need. Though she holds onto all she learned from her master Shen, she has pledged to defend Ionia from its enemies, one kill at a time. Akali may strike in silence, but her message will be heard loud and clear: fear the assassin with no master.

Playing as Akali

  • Akali excels at killing fragile champions. Let your team initiate and then strike at the people in the back.
  • Twilight Shroud offers safety in even the most dangerous situations. Use that time to save up energy for a quick strike later.

Playing against Akali

  • Akali can still be hit by area effect spells while obscured inside Twilight Shroud. Doing so will briefly reveal her position.

  • Return to base if your Health is low and Akali has her ultimate available.
