How to win lane as Akali against Twisted Fate · 47.04% win rate over 3,848 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Akali | You win level 1 by poking with Q from range while he wastes mana proccing cards for a blind stun. |
| Level 2 | Akali | You keep winning level 2 since your extra combo point lets you all-in before his stun cooldown resets. |
| Level 3 | Akali | You still control level 3 trades because Shroud lets you dodge his stun-card windup entirely. |
| Levels 4-5 | Akali | Your full combo at 4 items of damage per rotation still outpaces his card damage at this stage. |
| Level 6 | Akali | Your Perfect Execution reset threatens to finish the fight before his ultimate even lands, so you dictate level 6. |
| First item | Akali | Your burst-and-reset combo still kills faster than his card-cycling damage once first items are up. |
| Two+ items | Akali | Even late you can one-shot him in a pick if he's caught without Gold Card, keeping the matchup in your favor. |
You outrange his auto-attack trades with Q's blade throw and can shove the wave to zone him off cards, and as long as you dodge his blind Wild Card pokes you win every level 1-2 exchange clean.
