Akshan Matchups Overview

Akshan General information

Akshan tips and tricks

Refrain from using your Heroic SwingE unless you really have to. During the laning phase, you’re quite vulnerable to an all-in if you’re caught out of position without it.

Auto-attack before using your AvengerangQ as your AvengerangQ applies stacks that allow you to get your Passive procs with ease.

To avoid getting your Ultimate cancelled, try and use it when the enemy wastes CC tools, or whenever you’re not going to get it interrupted.
