Akali Build Guide for Wild Rift

Assassin's Mark

(Passive)

Hitting a champion with an active ability (Five Point Strike, Shuriken Flip or Perfect Execution) reveals a ring for a few seconds. Crossing it empowers her next attack to deal bonus magic damage.

In every fight, you should try to follow the same pattern: land an ability, step out of the ring, then step back in for the empowered auto-attack. Do not use your entire combo without auto-attacking. Missing your passive means you will miss out on a lot of damage.

Five Point Strike

(1)

Akali throws five kunais, dealing magic damage. Enemies hit at the very edge are briefly slowed.

Five Point Strike is your main poke and damage tool during the laning phase. It's also the easiest way to trigger Akali's passive. Wherever possible, try to use it at max range. The slow makes it much easier for you to step out, re-enter and land your empowered auto. You can also aim Five Point Strike to hit both the enemy and minions, letting you pressure while farming safely.

Twilight Shroud

(2)

Akali creates a smoke cloud that expands, grants energy and movement speed while making her invisible inside it.

Twilight Shroud is your safety tool, so don't waste it too early on. Use it when you're committing to a trade, skirmish or trying to escape dangerous scenarios. While inside the shroud, keep moving to make it harder for enemies to track your position. One of the biggest strengths of Twilight Shroud is restoring energy to help Akali with extended trades.

Shuriken Flip

(3)

Akali flips backwards while throwing a shuriken that damages and marks the first enemy hit. If it hits nothing, it marks her Twilight Shroud instead. Recasting lets her dash back to the marked target, dealing more magic damage.

Shuriken Flip is crucial to Akali's combo and damage potential. When you hit an enemy champion, you will already be outside the ring, so you can dash in and do extra damage. If you are not confident about hitting a target with your shuriken, you can cast this ability backwards. This means that Akali will flip towards the enemy to get into range to use Five Point Strike or Perfect Execution. Before doing this, use Twilight Shroud, so you have an easy escape tool if needed.

Perfect Execution

(Ultimate)

First Cast: Akali dashes through an enemy, dealing magic damage.

Recast: Akali dashes in a direction, dealing increased magic damage based on missing health.

Use the first cast to engage, then deal damage with your other abilities before using the recast. The second dash hits hardest on low-health enemies, so save it for the killing blow. The second dash can also be used in any direction, so use it to dodge, reposition, or escape if needed.
