How to play Akshan
Akshan is a marksman who can play in the Mid Lane. Akshan is a very mobile and aggressive champion. Going Rogue and Heroic Swing allows Akshan to roam and gain advantages for his team. When finding the right opportunity, you should look to attack and use his abilities to proc his passive, Dirty Fighting, this will give you a shield and help you win trades. Akshan has a unique revive mechanic from Going Rogue. Whenever an enemy kills an ally champion, the enemy is marked. If Akshan kills that enemy, the dead allies are immediately resurrected. With this passive, it's essential to always focus on the marked enemy.
Akshan's Abilities
Dirty Fighting (Passive)
Every three hits from attacks and abilities deal additional damage. If the target is a champion, Akshan also gains a shield. There is a bar underneath Akshan's mana bar that shows when his passive is available.
After each auto-attack, Akshan fires a weaker second shot. Akshan can cancel the second shot by moving, and when he does, he gains bonus movement speed that decays over a second.
It's important to know when to fire a second shot and when to cancel it. The double shot is very powerful when taking small trades and helps you gain Akshan's passive shield. Cancelling the double shot is great for chasing down enemy champions or escaping danger.
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 a strong poke-and-trade tool, as it applies Dirty Fighting 2 times. After Avengerang, you can auto-attack to proc Dirty Fighting and give Akshan a shield. Try to line up Avengerang so Akshan can hit both the minions and the enemy champion to deal a bit of poke damage and help him proc his passive.
Going Rogue (2)
Passive: Akshan marks enemy champions who have recently killed his teammates. Securing a takedown on a marked target revives all Akshan's teammates slain by the marked target.
Active: Akshan becomes camouflaged, gaining movement speed when moving towards marked targets who have recently killed his teammates. The duration of the camouflage state is infinite while Akshan is near terrain or in a bush.
Akshan can use the camouflage from Going Rogue to roam from the Mid Lane and gank either Solo Lane or Duo Lane to get an advantage elsewhere on the map. When you roam, you don't want to lose any minions in the Mid Lane, as you will start to fall behind on gold and experience.
Heroic Swing (3)
Akshan fires a hook to attach and swing around terrain, attacking the nearest enemy. Akshan will jump off if he collides with an enemy champion or terrain. You can also recast this ability to jump off before hitting a terrain.
Heroic Swing is Akshan's main mobility. It works great for engaging and disengaging from ganks. However, you need to be careful, as it can put you in a dangerous position if not used correctly. If Akshan gets a champion takedown whilst Heroic Swing is on cooldown, it will refresh the ability's cooldown.
Comeuppance (Ultimate)
Akshan locks onto an enemy champion, charging shots over a few seconds. After a few seconds or upon recasting the ability, he unleashes all stored bullets, damaging the first enemy hit, including minions or structures.
Because Compeuppance can hit minions and structures, you need to ensure you position yourself correctly to hit the right target. Akshan can also move whilst using Comeuppance and even use Heroic Swing to reposition to guarantee you deal damage to the right target.
Akshan can also recast the ultimate early if needed. This will deal less damage, but it means you will get some quick damage to try to secure the kill.
Akshan Build Breakdown
The Collector gives Akshan a lot of attack damage and helps him secure kills with the Death & Taxes passive, allowing him to snowball early on with a few kills.
Magnetic Blaster gives Akshan great stats and increases his range every few seconds, allowing him to stay safe in fights.
Infinity Edge increases Akshan's critical damage, making his auto attacks and Heroic Swing deal insane damage.
Onto the runes, we have:
Empowerment is the best Keystone for Akshan. Dirty Fighting allows Akshan to double-shot with every auto attack and Heroic Swing also applies one stack every shot.
Brutal gives Akshan more auto attack damage and works with Heroic Swing, allowing him to play aggressively throughout the game.
Coup de Grace provides additional damage that helps to burst down enemies quickly.
Giant Slayer is another good option when playing against Bruisers and Tanks that build a lot of health.
Alacrity gives Akshan attack speed, which synergises well with Dirty Fighting's movement speed and Heroic Swing damage scaling.
Bone Plating is a good choice for surviving all-ins from enemy champions, but it's worse against ranged champions who can easily proc it.
If you want more carry potential, Sudden Impact works with both Going Rogue and Heroic Swing and does a surprising amount of damage.
Flash is a must for Akshan to save your life and to secure kills. It can save you in many situations when you get ganked.
Ignite is a great summoner spell to help win early duels in the Mid Lane to get an advantage. Akshan can also use this when roaming to help finish off enemies.
Early Game
Akshan's early game is pretty good due to his passive and Empowerment, which enables him to deal a lot of burst damage and also gain a shield to help him block some incoming damage. Your primary focus is to take short trades against the enemy and deny them from taking minions. Be careful when using Heroic Swing aggressively, as it has a long cooldown, and you might get caught out in a bad spot without any way to escape. If you manage to push the minion wave to the enemy turret, consider roaming with Going Rogue.
Late Game
Late Game is the best stage of the game for Akshan, as you will have a lot of burst damage from building a lot of crit items. You need to play around objectives and play with your team. You can try to walk around alone, catching players off guard with Akshan's invisibility. However, if you get caught and die, you will put your team at a disadvantage. In a teamfight, stay in the backline; you are one of your team's main damage sources, and if you are caught, you will die quickly.
Conclusion
Overall Akshan is a fun and interesting champion to play. You will have to practice a lot to work out how to use his Heroic Swing effectively. Once you get used to playing Akshan, he has a very aggressive and fun playstyle that you can benefit from to get advantages all across the map.
