| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Sett | Level 1 favours you -- Akali is short-range and can't escape your Q slow. |
| Level 2 | Sett | Level 2 stays yours: no dash yet, so your E stun and Grit trades win. |
| Level 3 | Sett | Level 3 you still walk her down and out-sustain her Q poke. |
| Levels 4-5 | Sett | Levels 4-5 your engage and P healing beat her pre-6 kit. |
| Level 6 | Sett | At 6 you keep the edge if you respect Shroud and stun on her reveal. |
| First item | Sett | First item you out-brawl her squishy HP with a Grit-charged W. |
| Two+ items | Akali | By 2+ items Akali scales into a lethal assassin who kites your engage and bursts you first. |
You dominate levels 1-2: Akali is melee-range with no dash yet, so Q slow into E stun lets you chunk her while P Pit Grit heals the trade. Force her off the wave early.
