How to play it

✓

Dodge her E

Respect her E: dodging Shuriken Flip is the name of the game; eat it and she wins the trade.

✓

W her Q

Predict her Q and W-counter it, then trade back fast with E and Q.

✓

All-in combo

On your ult, R-Q-auto instantly before she shrouds; your AOE reveals her, then E-E and land Q2.

✕

Never blindly chase Akali into her shroud: rely on your AOE to reveal her before you commit.
