AKSHAN Tips & Tricks / Combos - League of Legends guide

[@KawaiiKatarina]

8:45 Malzahar blocks 3 shots instead of 1 because his spellshield is on a timer, and not on ability interaction. Other spellshields like Nocturne W or Sivir E are meant to block a single spell and immediately go off when they do so. Malzahar's shield lasts for half a second after he is hit with an ability. This is to prevent him being quickly bursted, forcing enemies to take his shield down before going for a combo. He also takes reduced damage from his shield instead of completely blocking abilities, but the reason it seems like he takes no damage is because the damage reduction he gets is 90+ percent.

[@cannonminion]

True! Thanks for clearing things out!

[@TobiNano]

Sivir E can actually block multiple spells if they all land on her at the same time.

[@Marcelo_Pedro]

He’s been out on the pbe since he was announced

[@colinkew4091]

@@jacobschmidt9197 so what? Hes not even live and this dude makes a full guide that also happens to be 11 min long 🤔🤔

[@KawaiiKatarina]

@@colinkew4091 There's countless youtubers who made full gameplay videos with him just 30 minutes after he was out on PBE. When you want views and you have 2 weeks on the PBE to play a champ, you can make a lot of videos. But props to this guy for spending time figuring out how the champ works to post tips.

[@colinkew4091]

@@KawaiiKatarina look its not a big deal he made a guide before its released i just find it a bit funny hes not even out yet. I doubt 2 weeks in the pbe where riot is mainly looking for bugs warrants his kit being understood to a point where you can make a comprehensive guide. Hes going to be nerfed and buffed relentlessely like every new champ for the next 2 months, we dont even really know what role he will be played in competitively. I think your taking a bit of a banter to seriously but bravo to you for backing up your boy.

Thanks bro, I really appreciate it!

[@xRedivivus]

It's good to add that structures that cannot be yet targeted, like inner towers and inhibitors, cannot block Akshan's R bullets

[@cannonminion]

Yeah true, forgot abt that one ^^

[@pronguyen987]

This is the first video full of necessary tip that i want to know, i love your work

[@cannonminion]

Thank you very much, happy to read comments like these

[@el_pheonx]

tips about passive's second attack is missing. you can also choose the second target for second shot even if first target didnt die. but it's all about timing, you should be fast.

[@cannonminion]

Oh true, mb!

[@foxnews114]

Yeah I was just about to comment about this. I have seen high elk akshan do it but as you said I think you have to be quick

[@DillonMeyer]

Another nasty trick, that's a bit of an exploit: Runaans with Black Cleaver on any ranged champion will apply two stacks of Black Cleaver's effects to both the champion attacking and the champion(s) being attacked. With Akshan, this means that if a target champion is alone, attacking once without canceling the second shot will apply four out of six stacks of armor shred. With two or more targets, you'll fully stack the movespeed bonus simly by attacking once without canceling the second shot. With the maximum 3 targets, you'll have applied 12/18 stacks in one attack. Note that since Runaans does not count towards Akshan's E, he will not apply double stacks when using the E. Each shot will still apply one.

[@raulbarreiro8539]

I don't know if it was something that doesn't work now but when I tested akshan I could E the turret without taking any towershot, it was really difficult but I did it multiple times

[@cannonminion]

Oh yeah you're right, I saw something abt that one day. I thought Riot already fixed it, apparently I just failed it xD

[@Rahjamatic]

For the dive combo ur supposed to charge ult before You swing and then fire the ult shots while you’re swinging so they can’t hide behind tower

[@cannonminion]

That's also a possibility!

[@Dwyne]

Later in the next patch be like: akshan will no longer be able to get vision with his q

[@cannonminion]

Hahahahaha yh, knowing Riot they will do something like that xD

[@bradleymoore2797]

[@vtk.pyr0]

[@njonj9357]

[@Limboinpinbo]

Want to add; if you kill something with your first shot, you can actually target and decide the second shot target manually by timing the aa command.

[@dummietarget]

1:30 skip to this if you already know how his abilities work

[@cannonminion]

Thank you my friend!

[@ahmadbugshan9603]

akshan looks so fun and the amount of combo wombos and strats are incredible even before he release i bet if he is balanced he will be one of the most fun champs to have or to fight the only thing that can piss the enemy are 2 things the revive after a huge teamfight and the fact that u ran away after a dive with 1hp just bc u used ur e and maybe his mains will be toxic who knows

[@cannonminion]

Yes indd, but his W passive seems very good. They will compensate for that by giving him less damage or something like that I think

[@sansyy8334]

Thank you so much for the video!! Keep up the amazing work :)

[@cannonminion]

Thanks my bro, appreciate it!

[@davidpavel5017]

If you narrate the less informative parts of the video you could take the effort to narrate the whole thing, it would help to separate your content from the other tips& tricks videos and make it more digestable at the same time.

u can move while ur hook is on a terrain without gliding, by using the "hit champions only button" to extend yourself or shorter your grappling hook ( spaghetti code riot)

[@KhangTran-df1qx]

you should a part that talk about recomending item for champ

[@KhangTran-df1qx]

@@minnie5434 it's a great idea but since his range is kinda low so it is a little dangerous for him to stay and auto multiple time, maybe burst item like how lucian recently build.

[@cannonminion]

You are right, many people asked me to do that, I will keep this in mind when making a new video!

[@cannonminion]

Probably, but it's too early to tell what runes and exact build would work for him.

[@salduendetomasdario9522]

@@KhangTran-df1qx yes, i think the champ rewards you to build AD and not attack speed,he doesn't scale as well as other carrys with attack speed, has a low ramge. The champ is not designed to make dps, he is a burst carry, with tools to flank and kill squishy targets, that play style doesnt match with runan at all.

[@KhangTran-df1qx]

@@salduendetomasdario9522 couldn't agree more

[@klydemeneses5559]

The most important thing people should learn from Akshan is about mastering and controlling his auto attacks. His autos works either Jhin's AA or Lucian's passive. Since this champ's AAs aren't built for kiting coz attack speed items only reduces his AA animations. People should trade his AA properly by either bursting opponents by 2 autos procs or a safe trade by attack --cancel auto since this guy has a fix AA speed and more built for mobility like jhin

I came for the tips & tricks but stayed for the beautiful versions of Gurenge and Tokyo Revenger's OP

[@vincentury]

As an Akshan spammer who climb on Diamond, i don't recommend using this combo. Most of the damages come from Akshan's E, and he using E to get easily auto attack, so clumsy. My tip here is: try to engage early dual with ignite and E, i'm never afraid losing in dual; sneak to the enemy and last hit with swinging around them and swing out. I only said the trick he using with E to dodge objectile is the only useful one besides the combos.

[@DuskstarShine]

one thing you missed: if you want to get to lain quick, but not loose mana with an E, you can E on the nexus from the steps, and swing round lain, this will give time for the mana spent to regen ^-^
