Akali Build Guide

Akali is posting a 49.8% winrate and a 6.12% pick rate on patch 16.13.1, which keeps her a staple in mid lane, though she still shows up top when the matchup calls for it. Electrocute stays the go-to keystone, cashing in on the fast trades that her shroud and dash combos set up.

Max Q early, grab E next for movement, and hold off on W until the later ranks. The build revolves around Hextech Gunblade, Shadowflame, and Zhonya’s Hourglass, mixing healing, burst damage, and an emergency escape for committed fights. The full item sequence, rune page, and counter picks are laid out in the guide below.
