Tristana vs Akali

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 10, 2026

Overview

Use level 2 all-in power spike with support follow-up to punish Akali's early cooldowns.
Exploit (W) cooldown by forcing trades when her shroud is down.
Convert wave crashes into turret plate damage using stacked (E) burst and resets.

Trading pattern

Stack (E) fully during committed trades to maximize burst and turret pressure.
Jump (W) only with support CC ready and when Akali's disengage is down.
Punish Akali immediately if she uses (W) without follow-up or if she overextends post-shroud.

Danger windows

Respect (W) shroud as a safe zone for her extended trades and escapes.
Avoid jumping when (E) recast is available to prevent counter-engage.
Watch for Akali's level 6 (R) to avoid risky all-ins without vision or cooldown advantage.

Early game

Push early waves to hit level 2 before Akali and threaten a jump all-in.
Avoid jumping into large minion waves to prevent minion aggro punish.
Track (W) usage to time trades outside her shroud safety window.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks (W) jump and (E) burst for deadly all-ins; force trades here.
First completed marksman item boosts all-in burst and turret plate pressure.
Late-game range and reset potential enable safe extended fights and objective control.

Win conditions

Use level and item spikes to force kills or turret plate damage with (E) and (W).
Reset fights by jumping in or out to clean up kills and maintain lane pressure.
Deny Akali wave control to limit her roaming and scaling opportunities.

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