Hello! Welcome to my S10 Mid - Lane Akali Guide!! Let´s jump right into it!

Akali´s laning is usually bad. She´s very weak in the start, so play more safely untill you get your 3 sabilities. Once you get to level 3, you can start pressuring your opponent a bit with combos like: E1+ E2 + W + Q + (P)AA and pokes with Q and your passive. Once you get to level 6 you should start beeing more aggresive in lane. Your power spikes are: Level 6 / Hextec Gunblade

PASSIVE: Using any ability into an enemy champion, you will see a Circle surrouding you. Get out this circle and your next AA will have increased damage and range.
Passive tips:
1 - Using E or R on a champion already pulls you off the circle, so you should worry about moving out the circle when hitting Q
2 - You get increased move speed in the direction of the border of the circlle. Once you reach it, you will gain increased move speed towards the opponent

Q: Q is very strong. It´s great for poking in lane. It deals Magic and Physical damage, ( so sometimes some riskier AD builds for Akali work as well ) allowing a good damage output
Q tips:
1 - Hitting the opponent in the tipper of your Q reduces their move speed for a little amount of time
2 - Hitting in the tipper also makes you out of the passive circle, meaning it´s easier to get your passive

W: W is a smoke bomb in a donut shape. It makes you invisible for opponents while in there, but you can be hit by their abilities and it doesn´t avoid turrets ( anymore ) W tips:
1 - You can mark your smoke with your E.
2 - If you´re in the jungle, Akali´s smoke bom will fill the area, meaning its form adjust itself to the terrain.

E: E has 2 castings:
E1: Akali throws a shuriken foward and dashes backwards. If Akali hit a minion, jungle mob, enemy champion or her W they will be targeted
E2: If you mark anything and use E2, you will dash towards the mark ( Like Lee Sin´s E) dealing damage.
E tips:
1 - Akali´s backwards dash from the E can cross walls
2 - Use Akali´s mark on the smoke to make safe approaches, or even try to steal an objective with this

R: R has 2 castings
R1: Dashes to opponents, dealing a little damage ( needs to be aimed at an opponent)
R2: Dashes, dealing damage based in the opponents lost health
R tips:
1 - R can cross walls, so you can ward and cast R to an enemy through the wall
2 - Use R2 for safe escapes during a lost fight
3 - Use your smoke, R2 and E is a safe escape option ( even dashing towards the opponent with R1 if you´re not stunned )

I don´t like naming Akali combos, it´s up to you create what suits you well, but here are some combos:

PAA: Passive Auto-Attack
1: Hextec Gunblade

Bread and butter: Q -> PAA -> Q -> PAA

1 -> R1 -> E1 -> E2 -> Q -> PAA -> R2

1 -> E1 -> R1 -> E2 -> Q -> R2
