Aurelion Sol vs Akali

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Prioritize farming safely to reach your strong mid-late game scaling as a control mage.
Maintain medium lane pressure to prevent Akali from freely setting up her all-in windows.
Focus on controlling the wave and avoiding early all-ins before your full kit is available.

Trading pattern

Trade by starting with (E) to position stars, then follow with (Q) for poke and waveclear.
Punish (W) downtime by stepping forward for short trades or wave pressure.
Avoid trading when Akali has (W) available, as it grants her stealth and safe extended trades.

Danger windows

Be cautious when (W) is active, as it creates her safest trading window and stealth threat.
Respect (E) recast as a major commit point for her all-in; avoid overextending during this.
Avoid extended trades before your full kit is online to prevent being burst down by Akali's high early damage.

Early game

Use (E) into (Q) to poke and clear waves while avoiding extended fights before level 6.
Respect Akali's high early agency and avoid trading when her (W) is up to prevent her safe all-in windows.
Keep distance and farm under tower if Akali aggressively looks to engage with (E) or (W).

Power spikes

At 75+ Stardust stacks, your upgraded (R) enables stronger teamfight presence; play toward stable farm to reach this.
After completing Rylai's, increase wave pressure and trade confidence while tracking Akali's defensive cooldowns.
Respect Akali's level 3 power spike when she unlocks (Q)-(W)-(E) combo and level 6 ultimate for burst all-ins.

Win conditions

Focus on farming safely to reach your late game scaling and upgraded ultimate for impactful teamfights.
Punish (W) cooldown windows by aggressively pushing waves and forcing short trades.
Use your superior waveclear and poke with (E) and (Q) to deny Akali space for all-ins and control lane tempo.
