How KR Challengers Use Akshan

[@cainlimbo9294]

The tower range dodge is probably the most important thing to remember, such a powerful tool for dives

[@Brickswol]

It should be patched; technically he's still within turret range. Why wouldn't it target him?

[@pix00l]

@@Brickswol I guess it's supposed to work like Fizz's E?

[@Asiak7Xin]

Dobby did a really good job. But he forgot to say some stuff. After checking the 3 players. Into tankier team comps they go Bork or Wits > Kraken or Shieldbow > Bork or wits > Guinsoos. If the enemy team is squishy they go standard crit Shieldbow > Collector > Ie

[@dannyphantom286]

Another tip that I found really helpful: Your E targets minions if a champion is within the wave, but if the champion has at least one hit of your passive on him the E prioritizes the champion. So you can just auto or Q then E and not worry about the minion wave taking aggro

[@bentonmarcum8188]

That’s helpful thanks

[@hiuwo]

this is the bread and butter for level 1 and 2 and so on trades and all-in kill pressure. I was surprised this video didnt mention.

[@dannyphantom286]

Exactly, it's such an important tip for assassinating mid game on side/mid as well when they have a big minion wave, quite an important tool to not be mentioned here

[@rik9833]

I was thinking the same thing

[@xOptoger]

This video + upcoming buffs should save him from sub 40% win rate

[@fmni1]

I would not think so. Mainly because Akshan is a skill based champ kinda. It's like a bit more difficult than Lucian mainly because he requires more positioning and timing. Though this video does help in terms of what he can or cannot do.

[@featuresnobodyaskedfor]

I feel like his w passive is just such an unnecessary addition to his kit. I want to play him because he looks like a lot of fun, but I feel dirty reviving allies.

[@MlikoKakao]

Sometimes I just dont want to revive my allies so that they think about what they were trying to achieve with that play O_O

[@aluiziolopes1203]

@Random Username exactly, plus the fact is a great Hope for runeterra to have a sentinel gun who revives allies

[@zweibryan2669]

@Random Username They can nerf it by reducing the death timer instead of removing it completely.

[@xenvy3926]

Playing dota2, i had enough of the revive... And after getting slammed by the unkillable dr mundo that didn't die after 5 of us hit him with everything, i really hate revive mechanics.

[@nifty6970]

@Random Username To be fair, they did exactly that to Aatrox.

[@DillonMeyer]

Another tip I didn't seem to notice here is that Akshan's W passive for getting the "Scoundrels" marks the target with a Warwick style trail, revealing the target's exact location for Akshan even through stealth and fog of war. He can use this to coordinate with his team if he must, or use it for his own personal information to plan out a kill. *Note:* Remember that it only affects people who have recently killed your teammates, so they might not be alone if you have no vision of the area. My personal play style is to start W, and max W first. It solves any issues through the game of mana management for him, as maxing W lowers its cooldown to basically nothing and removes its mana cost. This allows me to use him like an assassin, the way he was meant to be played as is evident by the video. I've found Eclipse > Mobi boots > Ravenous Hydra > Collector > GA > Tank-killing item/Another Assassin item with Press the attack and domination secondaries for runes being the best option for myself. Because of his passive, you'll instantly apply Eclipse with "one" auto attack (double shot), giving you the shield and doing extra damage, and then one more tic of damage from any ability or another auto attack will give you a *second* shield and of course, more damage. The Ravenous Hydra synergizes well with his Q, E, and its omnivamp synergizes well with his passive more than lifesteal as it's magic damage. Mobility boots gives him new options for mobility in stealth, as you'll be able to reach distant walls before W expires to extend the effect, further increasing the length you can go before being revealed as well as being able to catch targets easier. His E is a main source of damage, however it only does 25% on-hit damage, so I intentionally avoided giving him any on-hits with this build and instead focused on giving him strengths for his entire kit. Try it and see how it goes. :)

[@alejandrojimenez1685]

Something that I like about the ult is that it applies life steal and it deals huge damage to minions, so you can use it to heal and clear waves after a bad fight to stay around.

[@tally9542]

Akshans kit is so overloaded with other character's abilities its like they're trying to make their last champion.

[@sadnessdiplomacy1985]

@@Flamberge790 this is valid, nice pfp btw but idk i could see that if they stopped making fucking skins for lux and other egirl champs and focus on updating a fuck ton of champs so they are up to date without being cancer and reworking champs like udyr who is just either overpowered or underpowered but then again lux skins are probably 90% of their revenue so uhh yeah, and even then to trully balance the game is pretty much impossible and like almost every meta is only a bunch of champs and not like half the roster or something, but yes older champs do need some help but its just the nature of it the best we could hope is that they will eventually update most champs to playable status

also, you can guide the 2nd part of his double AA mechanic. Just like you click terrain to cancel the 2nd part of the animation, click the next target you would like to attack immediately after the first part of the animation!

Hello stranger

[@hoangd4132]

people just haven't figured out how to play him yet. most just max his Q first despite it deals zero dmg while cost too much mana, and E has silly high base damage but low ad scaling. with Kraken slayer + max E first i can pretty much one shot enemies' squishy champs by just a single E dive, abuse while it lasts

[@hossenkhaled8379]

well i maxed q so i can one shot back line minions after the hotfix but after trying max e once with kraken and getting a penta by e resets and like 3 auto's and 1 q the whole fight yeah e IS the way of maxing out abilities

[@Oblivinar]

Ive been doing the exact same strategy with him and he's right, it's seriously effective. Akshan's E is the secret to playing him well. It's his most crucial ability it terms of both damage and mobility so I always max it first 👍 you really feel the difference

[@Celestial-yq6hz]

I just maxed Q so I can wave clear, or make easy last hits, but yeah, one game I really got to see how much his E does hurt rather than can

A range assassin with invisibility, high mobility and lock-on skill, pretty much like any other assassin but nerf his passive ally revive, just cut off some time and not instantly. A gigantic chogath that's hard to kill instantly revives and teleports again to run down your team is pretty much broken.

[@dewaalit8984]

it does look broken in the papers but once u play the champ u realized that the one who kills a lot is always fed thus making its hard for a revive, akshan easily punishable tho even if he's super fed

[@klaws1012]

I've actually started to listen to so much NCS because of your videos lol

[@PhyNxFyre]

I feel like something that should've been mentioned about the Q before going in with E is that E prioritizes targets with your passive marks, that's why it's important to hit the enemy at least once before going in with E or else your shots are just gonna be wasted on minions

[@ophelia_grand_hel]

Though akshan is meant to roam and gank as well as push hard , your should try akshan in solo , your passive and double hits makes all trades efficient , even against hard engage champs like pantheon darius or sett , you can easily counter it by disabling your second auto to run Another tip is that second attack will be landed no matter WHERE the enemy is at , it works as a timer. İf akshan stands to hit it hits nomatter where. Also going q first is really good as well to get some passive procs or poke damsge by minions , if enemy stand aside minions to ignore q, always can go "fuck it" to just puah real fast to go back

[@mokutomedia1253]

Waaait a minute, smooch came up with this build on release week!

[@JoseGonzalez-wj8nz]

There is another mechanic. You can dash away from a wall if you E when you're right next to the wall. Is spacing yourself out of the wall, it could be useful sometimes instead of getting away of the wall to extend the range you could just get you next to the wall.

The build is definitely on point currently however I think that maxing E on Akshan doesn't really work anymore. He benefits from his Q actually doing damage, his waveclear without it is so bad.

[@mortalkomment7954]

So is it still worth to max E even rhough q can oneshot backline minions now? Or is it matchup dependent. Like if we have better wave pressure than our opponent then we Mac E but if they have faster clear then we max q maybe?
