How to play it
- Press early
Vex is stronger in the first levels — shove and deny farm.
- Poke and back off
Use your range: hit, then step back before Akali reaches you. Never stand where they can.
- Don't chase
Akali escapes faster than you — take farm and towers instead of running.
- Magic resistance
Akali deals magic damage — Banshee's Veil as your 2nd or 3rd item.
- Full combo or nothing
Akali is squishy — wait for every ability, go in once. No half-combo trades.
When you are in danger
- Full HP or back off
Akali's burst kills from half HP. No trades under 60%, and buy Banshee's Veil early.
