Annie vs Akali

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 10, 2026

Overview

Use your medium-range burst to find picks with (R) followed by (Q) and (W) burst combos.
Maintain medium lane pressure to deny Akali safe scaling and force cooldown mistakes.
Avoid overextending when (W) shroud is available to prevent all-in engages.

Trading pattern

Trade by proccing your passive with (Q) + (W) and finish with an auto attack for stun burst.
Step forward to punish Akali immediately after her (W) expires with short trades.
Avoid trading when (W) is up, as she can safely engage or disengage.

Danger windows

(W) creates her safest trading window; avoid fighting inside the shroud.
(E) recast signals a major commit; do not overextend during this.
Avoid pushing hard when Akali's summoner spells or (R) are available to reduce all-in risk.

Early game

Farm with (Q) to conserve mana and punish Akali when her (W) is down.
Avoid pushing with (W) early to prevent running out of mana and becoming vulnerable.
Respect Akali's high early agency and avoid extended trades when (W) is active.

Power spikes

Level 6 (R) unlocks strong pick potential and burst damage; use it for all-ins or roams.
First completed AP item boosts damage and wave control, enabling stronger trades.
Respect Akali's level 3 unlock of (Q)-(W)-(E) combo and avoid giving space for her to engage.

Win conditions

Use (R) to catch Akali off-guard and burst her before she activates (W).
Punish Akali's cooldowns, especially when (W) is down, to deny safe trades and scaling.
Maintain medium lane pressure without overextending to enable roams and snowball leads.

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