akali jungler is actually pretty good if you are careful with her.

she has obviously alot of weakness like not good sustain for the first clear and very bad ganks pre 6

dont max e, it is a garbage spell nowdays, max q like lane akali and get away with it max e second for maximum damage and last w, useless to say r at 6/11/16 i hope.

going jungler item is mandatory, if you feel you are invaded alot feel free to go the green one, otherwise the red one is good, runic echoes of course.

let's stop here to make a clarification, i saw people that invade akali  pre 6 thinking she can outduel her anyway, it is wrong. you are weaker then 6 but not totally useless, your key spell is w with a bush, and in the jungle there are alot of bushes, think that you are playing a ninja and act like one, hide in bush mesmerize your opponent and trick him to use his cd, remember that inivisbility drop aggro from monsters so if you are in combat with one and get invaded simply position and w to swap aggro with your opponent, then you have full 8 seconds to decide if you can take the fight or just leave it, remeber that you take less damage for 4 second from your opponent with red smite use it wisely, yet dont be greedy if you get invaded by a strong duelist just leave the camp, you dont need any buff to gank anyway just your r spell.

after you hit 6 your ganks are terrifing, but your team might need cc, hextech gunblade is core on akali but also ryllai is a great choice to let your team catch up and make that tasty picks, after jungler item and hextech you plain heal all your life bar with one camp and should clear it in less then 5 seconds.

get revenge to the enemy jungler past lv 11, few champion can 1v1 akali in the jungle if you use the bush to surprise and confound your enemy.

if you have access to bans, lee sin, shyvana  and shaco are good bans.

one last note, akali work better if your laners are pretty solid and can clear the wave efficiently, while she struggle when paired with mates that need hard engage to commit, aka, dont play her if you have an assassin in mid. also a solid tank in top and posibly in bot as support do wonders.

have fun with her but remeber that you need the correct teamcomp to make her work, also akali hate sustained tanks, if you have 3 tanky opponents you might want some bruiser/tanky jungler instead
