Shadow Fist - Akali

\Akali is a very strong diving hero, extremely effective against squishy heroes, with very strong lane poke and survivability. Shadow Fist strikes under the cover of death. Do not obstruct balance. Health is low, physical attack is strong, skill damage is average, operational difficulty is medium.

\Hero Update Log V1.0.0.113 - Dual Warfare trigger effect changed to 9.5 extra AD and 19.5 extra AP V1.0.0.112 - Fixed bug in Assassin's Mark - Assassin's Mark still exists after the target dies V1.0.0.110 - Dual Warfare no longer deals extra damage to towers V1.0.0.106 - Bug fix - Shadow Dance sometimes caused damage after being knocked up or knocked back

\Start with Doran's Blade to activate passive skill for 10% spell vamp, then buy Boots of Speed. Core equipment is Ice Staff, choose the Obliteration Hat and Lich Bane to enhance attack output, and finally get Technology Gun to improve survivability and output.

Early game (1-6) prioritize leveling Q, as this skill is the main damage source with a very short CD, suppressing opponents and utilizing her damage output.
\Mid game (6-12) prioritize leveling E, this is a good farming skill, do not use it recklessly, as during chasing or team fights it may just be wasting energy.
Late game (12-18) level W: this skill can handle almost all situations, chasing, escaping, or counter-killing. Power of Smite
After gaining 19.5 magic damage, attacks add 10% magic damage. After an additional 9.5 attack, gain 10% spell vamp.

When you play Akali
At level one, it is best to observe your opponent before choosing a skill.Assassin's Mark can be used to last-hit minions in disadvantageous lanes and rationally allocate Shadow Essence. Use Shadow Dance before reaching the maximum reserve. When the opponent uses Akali, Akali will also be hit by AOE skills while stealthing. Buying Mecha Soulreaver and Mystic Sword for Akali is highly beneficial. Observing what equipment path and item sequence she takes can help predict her playstyle.

Akali's favorite heroes to cooperate with:
- Alistar: interrupts enemy skills. With him tanking, you can output safely.
- Amumu: stuns enemies for you. You can output easily. Group crowd control! Ensures safe damage.
- Nunu (Snowball Knight): chase and instantly kill squishies with R, slow enemies, disrupt formation; a good time for you to output.
- Cho'Gath: once triggered, still able to run? Akali jumps in. One bite from Cho'Gath!
- Veigar (Evil Little Mage): AoE stuns, helps in both escape and chase. Both of you can control, and it's a matter of who to kill first.
- Jayce (you know, Jayce): both melee; vulnerable in lane.
- Plague Rat: both squishy melee.
- Sejuani (War Goddess): let her take the credit; you worry about nothing.
- Katarina (the spinning girl—Sinister Blade): both melee squishies; laning is tough.
- Sona (Daughter of the Stars): no control, no damage.

Most feared heroes:
- Karthus: can you survive? Place a W under your feet; even if not dead, you'll be low.
- Alistar: using W to escape still bounces you into the crowd.
- Vladimir (Crimson Reaper): frustrating to be poked in lane, easily counter-killed.
- Yorick: crippled, Akali can only take hits. Feared, the squishies are instantly killed.
- Jarvan IV (Demacian Prince): great combo with armor; Q can pull you in and have you beaten up.
