Camille vs Akali

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Camille should focus on controlled short trades using second (Q) and look for terrain angles to engage with (E).
Manage lane pressure to avoid giving Akali free windows to use (W) safely and punish her when (W) is down.
This is a scale versus snowball matchup where Camille aims to reach item spikes and leverage (R) for side-lane picks.

Trading pattern

Use passive shield and second (Q) for short trades, disengaging before Akali can commit with (E) or (R).
Only use (E) when you have a clear terrain angle and Akali’s (W) is on cooldown to avoid being outplayed.
Punish Akali’s overextensions by locking her down with (R) after baiting her defensive tools.

Danger windows

Akali’s (W) creates her safest trading window; avoid engaging when it’s active.
Akali’s (E) recast is a major commit point; respect her mobility and avoid trades if she can follow up.
Camille is vulnerable after missing (E); avoid extended fights during this cooldown.

Early game

Prioritize short trades around second (Q) timing and avoid extended fights before your first item.
Use terrain to threaten (E) engages but avoid using (E) if Akali has (W) available to escape.
Deny Akali space to safely activate (W) and punish her cooldowns when (W) is down.

Power spikes

At first sheen-style item, leverage second (Q) true damage to take sharper trades and pressure side lanes.
At level 6, use (R) to lock down Akali and dodge her key spells, enabling reliable all-ins.
Respect Akali’s level 3 combo (Q)-(W)-(E) and level 6 (R) by avoiding trades when these are available and ready.

Win conditions

Use side-lane terrain to threaten (E) engages and isolate Akali with (R) for picks.
Play around second (Q) timing to win short trades and back off before Akali can retaliate.
Scale into your item spikes to pressure side lanes and force Akali into unfavorable fights or splitpush scenarios.
