A versatile marksman-assassin hybrid, Akshan excels in both Top and Mid lanes with his unique mobility and surprise attack potential. His permanent invisibility and quick engage-disengage playstyle make him particularly effective for solo queue dominance.

Primary Role: Assassin Preferred Lane: Toplane Current Patch: 14.16.1

Ability Priority:

1. Q (First max)
2. E (Second max)
3. W (Last max)

Early Game Optimization: For maximum early damage, consider this leveling strategy:

• Level 1: Q
• Level 2: E
• Level 3: Q (second point)
• Level 4: E (second point)
• Level 5: W This approach maximizes early damage potential when W isn't immediately needed for lane presence.

Core Build Path: Starting Items:

• Doran's Blade
• Health Potion

Essential Items:

1. Kraken Slayer
2. Blade of the Ruined King
3. Infinity Edge

Situational Items:

• Guardian Angel (vs heavy AD)
• Maw of Malmortius (vs heavy AP)
• Lord Dominik's Regards (vs tanks)
• Bloodthirster (for sustain)

Boots:

• Plated Steelcaps (vs AD)
• Mercury's Treads (vs AP/CC)

Build Strategy: Focus on Attack Speed and On-Hit effects to maximize passive double-hit potential. Defensive boots are crucial due to Akshan's need to close distance for damage output. Include armor penetration when facing tanks.

Key Strengths:

• Strong early game presence
• High mobility
• Surprise engage potential
• Excellent roaming capability
• Strong 1v1 dueling
