How to play it

✓

Minimize her Q

Take as little of her Q poke as you can: space around Five Point Strike so she can't chip you down before you spike.

✓

Win levels 1-3

Your advantage is the first three levels: start W, trade level 1 when she walks up for the wave, then short-trade once her energy is spent.

✓

Keep it gankable

Hold the lane where your jungler can gank: it gets very hard if Akali hits 6 without you having a lead.

✕

Never let Akali reach level 6 without a lead: keep the lane in a gankable state.
