How to counter Akali

Akali is a slippery assassin who turns invisible with her shroud, chains dashes, and executes with her ultimate. She lives off dodging and repositioning, so you stop her with point-and-click damage or reveals that ignore her invisibility, crowd control that pins her, or tanky champions that endure her burst.

  • Twisted Fate — His gold card stuns her, ignoring her shroud, and leaves her exposed for his team to finish.
  • Vex — Her passive punishes Akali's dashes, interrupting and fearing her, nullifying her mobility.
