Azir vs Akali

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 10, 2026

Overview

Prioritize stable wave control to farm safely and avoid Akali's early burst trades.
Maintain soldier zones to punish Akali's movement and deny her all-in windows.
Save (E) and (R) defensively to counter Akali's high mobility and engage potential.

Trading pattern

Poke with (Q) and (W) while keeping distance to avoid Akali's burst combo.
Step forward to punish Akali when her (W) is down and she loses safe trading.
Reserve (E) and (R) for repositioning or disengaging from Akali's follow-up engages.

Danger windows

(W) shroud enables safe extended trades and all-ins; avoid fighting inside it.
Committing (E) without (R) makes you vulnerable to Akali's burst and follow-up.
Post-level 6 without (R), Akali's ultimate dive and burst potential increase your risk.

Early game

Use (W) to create soldiers and (Q) to poke when Akali last-hits near them.
Avoid committing (E) aggressively before your first item spike to prevent easy collapse.
Respect (W) shroud as her safest trading window and avoid engaging during it.

Power spikes

Level 6 (R) grants a crucial disengage tool to deny Akali's all-ins.
First mage DPS item significantly boosts soldier damage, increasing trading threat.
Track Akali's level 3 unlock to respect her (Q)-(W)-(E) combo and avoid giving her clean trades.

Win conditions

Maintain controlled waves to secure CS and scale into strong soldier DPS.
Use (R) to interrupt or punish Akali's all-in attempts and force unfavorable trades.
Capitalize on (W) cooldown by applying soldier poke and pressure to deny her windows.

Tip: For Azir vs Akali, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Mid lane check.
