How to play it
- Press early
Akshan is stronger in the first levels — shove and deny farm.
- Poke and back off
Use your range: hit, then step back before Katarina reaches you. Never stand where they can.
- Magic resistance
Katarina deals magic damage — Maw of Malmortius as your 2nd or 3rd item.
When you are in danger
- Full HP or back off
Katarina's burst kills from half HP. No trades under 60%, and buy Death's Dance early.

How to play as Akshan
- Roam between lanes and pick off isolated squishies — rush Duskblade of Draktharr
- Use dashes for poke and escape — never blink without an out
- Use heal/shield in trades — win extended duels
