Fuyu no Sakura by the Yoshida Brothers

do u recommend building into madreds razor from cloth armor? i know it said razor or guardian angel in your guide...and would you get this after the scepter and boots? or before?

[MontegomeryLoL]

@mrbumpbump

I don't. Akali gets so much damage from building actual damage that there's not much point. If you need sustain Hextech Revolver is better for Akali, and if you need to kill jungle creeps quicker building actual damage is better. I'm removing the Madred's suggestion from the guide since it's really not a great option on Akali.

@ronipioson

Control + Hotkey (i.e. QWER)

what do you recomed now that she was nurfed alot and hextech was nufed as well

[firenex123]

LOl soraka killed yi first blood see how op she is now?

[dmoney0523]

@Cheesaurus This wouldn't work, because Akali is mostly a burst nuke. IE, she needs lots of AP, and some AD to match it, in order to really be of any use.

Her passives are triggered by having 20 AP for one and 10 AD for the other. It's usually best to have these triggered at lv1, but if not, then as early as you can possibly get them. I Build boots first, then Rylais, then Gunblade. Normally, I go with Lich, Malais, and Rabadons after these. It's completely up to you as to the last three.

EPIC MUSIC!!!

How viable do you think jungle Akali is without your specific runeset. Runes and rune pages are SO expensive, so I only have 2 pages, one of which being magic pen marks, armor seals, CDR glyphs and movement speed/health quints. Would this work?

[TheCowboyCurtis]

@anhdienx3 I go with health runes usually, but there is no "best" rune for any champion. All that matters is what works for you.

I spent a day trying to jungle with akali, starting with an item that builds into gunblade and not taking smite. It's a little shaky for levels 1+2, but after that it's pretty fast. Only problem is that other champions gank better
