Cassiopeia vs Akali

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 10, 2026

Overview

Focus on mid-range trades where you can apply poison and force extended fights.
Deny Akali safe windows to engage by maintaining spacing and punishing cooldowns.
Avoid giving Akali free all-in opportunities by respecting her mobility and stealth.

Trading pattern

Start trades by landing (Q) or (W) to apply poison, then spam (E) for sustained damage.
Keep (W) ready to ground Akali's dashes and restrict her mobility during trades.
Avoid trading if (Q) misses or (W) is down, as Akali can burst and escape before (E) damage matters.

Danger windows

Akali is most dangerous when (W) is available, granting stealth and safe re-engagement.
Punish Akali when (W) is down by forcing trades and denying mobility.
Watch for (E) recast commit; use (W) to ground or (R) to punish if she faces you.

Early game

Use (Q) to punish Akali's early waveclear and energy reliance.
Avoid extended trades while (W) is up to prevent safe re-engagements.
Hold mid-range spacing to limit Akali's ability to close distance with (E) and (W).

Power spikes

Level 6 (R) deters Akali's all-ins if she faces you; use it to punish commits.
First mana/AP item improves your ability to sustain longer trades against Akali.
Respect Akali's level 3 (Q)-(W)-(E) combo with shroud, which enables her safe trades and all-ins.

Win conditions

Maintain spacing to apply poison and force Akali into extended fights favoring your sustained DPS.
Use (W) to deny Akali's mobility and punish her dashes into your zone.
Capitalize on (R) stun when Akali faces you during all-ins to secure kills or force her off the wave.

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