Akshan's mobility comes from his E ability, allowing quick lane movement and enemy engagement. His unique passive can revive dead allies by killing their killer - particularly impactful in late game when death timers are longer.

His W provides camouflage near walls, offering escape options and strategic positioning. However, Akshan struggles against ranged champions and crowd control, which prevent aggressive E usage.

Early Game (Levels 1-5)

• Focus on short trades using auto-attacks and passive
• Only extend trades when enemy's main ability is on cooldown
• Look for roaming opportunities with W when wave is pushed

Mid Game (Levels 6-11)

• Use Ultimate while swinging with E for better positioning
• Avoid frontline fighting against CC-heavy champions
• Stay in backline, poke enemies before team fights
• Use W for strategic positioning and cleanup kills

Late Game (Levels 12+)

• Leverage increased damage potential
• Use E more aggressively for kills
• Utilize frequent Ultimate cooldown for chunking enemies
• Stay near CC allies for follow-up damage
• Counter assassins by shadowing their movements

Power Spikes

• Level 2: Q + E combo enables aggressive plays
• Level 6: Ultimate unlocked for kill securing
• Level 9: Q maxed for increased damage
• Level 11: Second Ultimate point
• Level 13: E maxed for enhanced mobility
• Level 16: Final Ultimate point for maximum damage

Key Weaknesses

• Vulnerable to ranged matchups
• Easily interrupted Ultimate
• Struggles against heavy wave clear
• Limited roaming potential when pushed under tower

Tips

• Ultimate can be interrupted - position carefully
• Use E defensively against skill shots
• Coordinate with CC-heavy teammates
• Prioritize marked targets for team revival potential

Remember, Akshan's revival mechanic becomes increasingly valuable in late game teamfights, potentially turning lost fights into victories.
