Akshan Build Guide for Wild Rift

Dirty Fighting

(Passive)

Every 3 hits from attacks and abilities deal bonus damage and grant a shield against champions. Akshan's auto attacks fire twice, but he can cancel the second shot to gain movement speed.

There is a bar underneath Akshan's mana bar that shows when his passive is available.

The key to Dirty Fighting is managing your double shot and passive stacks. You don't always want to fire both shots. Cancelling the second shot gives you movement speed, which is better for chasing enemies, kiting or repositioning. Use double shots when you are safe and want maximum damage. Both Avengerang and Heroic Swing are great ways to stack Dirty Fighting to deal bonus damage and gain a shield so you can always win trades.

Avengerang

(1)

Akshan throws a boomerang that deals physical damage, extending the range each time it hits an enemy. Hits grant Akshan Movement Speed.

Avengerang is Akshan's main poke tool. Learn to hit minions first to extend the range and line it up so you can hit the enemy at the same time, letting you poke and waveclear while staying safe. Avengerang also applies 2 stacks of Dirty Fighting, meaning you only need to auto-attack once to proc your passive damage and shield.

Going Rogue

(2)

Passive: Enemy champions that kill allies become Scoundrels for 40 seconds. If Akshan helps kill them within 3 seconds of being damaged by him, he gains gold and revives the slain allies.

Active: Akshan becomes camouflaged, gaining movement speed and mana regen toward Scoundrels. The duration is infinite while Akshan is near terrain or in bushes.

Use Going Rogue's active to roam and scout safely, especially when going through the river and in the jungle. Make sure to stay near terrain to extend the duration. Focus on tracking Scoundrels since they're your priority targets, and taking them down can instantly swing fights. In fights, don't reveal yourself too early; wait for the right moment and surprise enemies.

Heroic Swing

(3)

Akshan fires a hook to attach and swing around terrain, attacking the nearest enemy (prioritising champions). If Akshan collides with an enemy or terrain, he will jump off. You can also recast Heroic Swing to jump off at any time. Takedowns reset the cooldown.

Heroic Swing is Akshan's main mobility. Use the terrain wisely; longer swings mean more shots and damage, so look to hook around bigger walls. Remember, you can recast early to reposition or dodge abilities; you don't always want to take the full swing. Heroic Swing can also be used as an escape tool if in danger.

Comeuppance

(Ultimate)

Akshan locks onto an enemy champion, charging 5 shots over 3 seconds. After a few seconds or on recast, he fires shots, dealing physical damage per shot to the first enemy hit, including minions or structures. 

Comeuppance works best as a finisher, so wait until enemies are low on health to maximise the damage output. Be sure to use your ultimate from a safe distance. You don't need to be close, so stay behind walls, turrets or teammates while channelling. Because Comeuppance can hit minions and structures, you need to ensure you position yourself correctly to hit the right target. You can move whilst using Comeuppance and even use Heroic Swing to reposition to guarantee you deal damage to the right target.
