Akali, the Rogue Assassin, is a melee assassin champion. In fights Akali is a fragile champion who deals magic damage in bursts. Here are the augments Akali players take most, the Prismatic items worth grabbing and the core build on patch 26.20.
Your Attacks deal additional physical damage equal to 75% Ability Power.
Your Attacks, including the empowered hit from Assassin's Mark (Passive), deal extra physical damage from your Ability Power, so weaving Attacks between abilities adds burst.
Your Abilities can Critically Strike. Gain Crit Chance.
Five Point Strike (Q), Shuriken Flip (E) and Perfect Execution (R) can all critically strike, so your full combo deals more burst to a single target.
Gain 15% Armor Penetration and Magic Penetration.
Your Five Point Strike (Q), Shuriken Flip (E) and Perfect Execution (R) all deal magic damage, so the Magic Penetration makes your whole combo hit resistant targets harder.
