Akali
GameplayAkali is a champion in League of Legends.[1]
Abilities
- Enemies cannot see the ring, but can see the empower effect.
- Swinging Kama gives a static bonus range which doesn't change if Akali's range changes during it (i.e Rapid Firecannon):
- If Rapid Firecannon fully charges within Swinging Kama's duration, Akali's total range increases to 337.5.
- If Rapid Firecannon fully charges before gaining Swinging Kama, Akali's total range is increased to 395.
- The ring will be created around the last target hit by Five Point Strike.
- The ring's center is offset 120 units away from the enemy's center, towards akali.
- The empowered attack can be dodged and blocked, and will be mitigated by blinds.
- The empowered attack will trigger but not be consumed nor apply its effects against structures and wards.
- Akali will also not gain the invisibility if she is Recalling.
- It is possible for Akali to detonate the smoke bomb on the far side of terrain from her current location.
- The effects are applied before the cast time, and Akali can move during the cast time.
- Akali will track the target if they change locations.
- She will not stop tracking the target until she reaches them, as there is no maximum tracking distance.
- Both casts count as ability activations for the purposes of on-cast effects such as Spellblade and stacking Force Pulse.
- Shuriken Flip does not interrupt Akali's previous move or attack orders.
- The Recast does.
- Shuriken Flip cannot be recast if the target is not visible or is untargetable.
- Akali will dash backwards up-to 400 units in a straight line. This dash can cross terrain if the end point is beyond it. If she would end the dash inside terrain, she will instead look for a location in either direction left or right that is outside of terrain and dash there. If there is no such location, she will dash only up to the wall at her normal speed, ending the dash early.
- This ability will cast from wherever the caster is at the end of the cast time.
- The shuriken missile will fire from wherever Akali is at the end of the cast time (usually mid-dash), but always towards and reaching the location that was 825 units in front of her at the start of cast. The only exception is if she moves via Flash, in which case the range of the missile is decreased relative to the distance she blinked.
- The shuriken missile will fire from wherever Akali is at the end of the cast time (usually mid-dash), but always towards and reaching the location that was 825 units in front of her at the start of cast. The only exception is if she moves via
- Killing an enemy with the shuriken will still mark the last area of the shroud hit.
- Attempting to cast Five Point Strike during either dash will buffer it to cast as soon as the dash ends.

Champion skins
- This article section only contains champion skins. For all associated collection items, see Akali (Collection).
Abandoning the Kinkou Order and her title of the Fist of Shadow, Akali now strikes alone, ready to be the deadly weapon her people need. Though she holds onto all she learned from her master Shen, she has pledged to defend Ionia from its enemies, one kill at a time. Akali may strike in silence, but her message will be heard loud and clear: fear the assassin with no master.

Trivia
- Akali, the Fist of Shadow
- Akali's dance referenced Single Ladies by Beyoncé.
- A side-by-side comparison can be seen here.
- Akali was the only energy-based champion to have any associated cost on their ultimate (one Essence of Shadow).
- Shadow Dance was going to be a skillshot but became single-targeted instead.
- Akali used to gain the 'Law of Inverse Ninja Strength' cosmetic Easter egg debuff ("This unit is a flippin' ninja!" - "Ninjas are more effective when they work alone. For every Ninja on your team beyond yourself, you lose 1 health.") when she, Kennen, Shen, and/or Zed found themselves on the same team. It was removed in V3.14 for unknown reasons.
- In the V1.0.0.115 April Fools' Day patch, the following change regarding Akali was jokingly listed：
- Akali is no longer a ninja.
- Akali, the Rogue Assassin
- Due to Japanese rhotacism, Akali may sound identical to Japanese 明かりakari "light, brightness, gleam", from Old Japanese stative verbal root *aka(-r-) "to be red, to be bright" (> aka(-i) 赤(い) "red")
- Akali is the second champion, after Yasuo, to have an emote that will orient itself the same (facing towards the camera), no matter what direction Akali was facing.
- However, she is the first to always reposition herself to face the camera when using the emotes, and has this function on both her dance and joke emotes.
- Akali's Series 1 Eternals make the following references:
- Check Marks references the eponymous symbol.
- Like a Ninja describes Shuriken Flip's mobility and use of shuriken, two features common in depictions of ninja in popular culture.
