Lucian vs Akali

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 10, 2026

Overview

Use early level 2 power spike to contest wave and force Akali to play cautiously.
Avoid extended fights inside (W) shroud to prevent her burst all-in.
Punish Akali's low waveclear by crashing waves and denying her CS early.

Trading pattern

Win short burst trades after support setup using (E) to engage and (Q) through minions.
Avoid trading when (W) is active unless you can step out quickly.
Punish Akali immediately after she uses (E) recast or (W) expires to force recalls.

Danger windows

Respect (W) shroud as it grants her safe extended trades and escape.
Avoid overextending when (E) recast is available; it's a major all-in commit.
Track Akali's level 6 (R) availability; she can force picks or all-ins during this window.

Early game

Contest level 2 with support setup to leverage early dash and passive burst.
Thin the wave before Akali hits level 3 to limit her (Q)-(W)-(E) combo opportunities.
Reset timing should align with first marksman item spike to maintain pressure.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks your (E) dash and passive burst; trade aggressively with support.
First completed marksman item strengthens your burst; force short trades before Akali scales.
Level 6 (R) enables finishing low-health targets pushed out of position; use with support setup.

Win conditions

Use early lane pressure and support synergy to deny Akali free farm and force recalls.
Convert first item spike into lane control by crashing waves and forcing Akali off the wave.
Track Akali's cooldowns and (W) usage to create safe all-in or roam opportunities post-level 6.

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