League of Legends: Wild Rift Akali Gameplay Tips

Akali is normally played in the middle region but she is not recommended for a charge attack. She is the best use as a hidden and silent killer making her the ultimate assassin. According to her gameplay, we can break it down into three phases. Our League of Legends: Wild Rift Akali guide includes the perfect game plan for the early, mid, and late game in the game.

Early Game

In the early game, proceed in the middle lane to just clear the minion waves. Unlock the Five Point Strike skill and use it effectively to use the passive skill also. With passive activated, Akali will gain movement speed and swinging kama, try to deal damage to enemies.

Do not try to charge in if you are not confirmed of getting the kill. Try to rotate on and around the middle lane until you reach the level, after which the minion damage boost will unlock.

Mid Game

During the middle game, focus on covering the three lanes but do not engage directly with the enemies. This is the stage where Akali should level up fast as compared to any other champion in the game.

Try to be patient and charge in the right moment in the usual hide and seek manner. Unleash the range of combos using Akali’s skills and confirm one kill each time and retreat from the team fight.

Late Game

Akali may get ineffective during the late stage of the game especially in team fights. She can just sort out each champion stranded alone and then go for the kill.

Akali shouldn’t rush in team fights and wait for her chance and execute her combos to confirm kills. You can use the following skill combo on her for her late game combos.

Skill 3+Skill 3+ Skill 1+ Ultimate + Ultimate + Skill 1

Akali can be countered by heroes like Olaf and Annie.

Final Thoughts

Akali brings in a range of combo attacks with her active and passive skills. The difficulty comes in with the timing and execution of the combos. The trick is to get confirmed kills during the early and middle stages of the game. With the perfect balance of stats and gameplay in Wild Rift, it is of very importance that Akali gets more kills and feeds less to the opponent’s team. If Akali fails to get kills and feed her enemies, she would be useless during the entire game.

With the above guide, you can easily practice Akali in LoL Wild Rift, and before heading to play ranked matches practice a little bit in the PVP mode.
