Akali
Champions that beat Akali
- Ahrimid
Charm (E) lands on Akali during the brief reveal frames near the shroud edge and Spirit Rush (R) dodges the R2 Perfect Execution recommit window. Ahri's full Q plus W combo deletes Akali before Twilight Shroud (W) recasts.
- Cassiopeiamid
Miasma (W) grounds Akali inside Twilight Shroud (W) disabling Shuriken Flip (E) and Perfect Execution (R) dashes. Twin Fang (E) on Noxious Blast (Q) poison out-DPSs her Five Point Strike (Q) burst rotation.
- Jaycemid
Five Point Strike (Q) and Shuriken Flip (E) cap at 550 and 825 range — both inside Cannon Q. Pre-6 Akali has to walk through the gate-amped Q to even threaten Twilight Shroud (W), and the Hammer Thundering Blow (E) knocks her out of Perfect Execution (R) commit.
- Lissandramid
Frozen Tomb (R) is untargetable-immune and lands on Akali mid-R1 dash — she finishes the leap frozen inside their team, no R2 recast available, dies before Twilight Shroud (W) comes off cooldown.
- Malzaharmid
Nether Grasp (R) is a 2.5s single-target suppression that ignores tenacity — Shuriken Flip (E) dashes do not break it and Twilight Shroud (W) cannot be cast under lock. Perfect Execution (R) two-dash combo cannot trigger under suppression and Voidlings (W) finish her in channel.
- Twisted Fatemid
Gold Card (W) reveals Akali through Twilight Shroud (W) invisibility and stuns on the contact frame. Her main dodge tool is useless, and Destiny (R) plus the stun cancels Perfect Execution (R1) before the R2 recommit window.
- Udyrtop
Udyr E Blazing Stampede point-click stun applies inside Twilight Shroud (W) because the targeting ignores the invisibility, locking her up before Five Point Strike (Q) and Shuriken Flip (E) combo lands. W Iron Mantle shield then absorbs the Perfect Execution (R) two-stage burst.
- Veigarmid
Event Horizon (E) stuns Akali on entry through the outer ring. Shuriken Flip (E) dash walks into the cage perimeter if dropped on her landing, locking her for W Dark Matter and Primordial Burst (R) execute before Perfect Execution (R) two-stage burst lands.
- Vexmid
Akali Shuriken Flip (E) dash and Perfect Execution (R) two-stage dash both proc Doom 'n Gloom passive mark on entry, and Vex empowered Mistral Bolt (Q) fears her mid-combo. Twilight Shroud (W) invisibility cannot cancel the fear and Shadow Surge (R) locks onto her dive.
- Yasuomid
Wind Wall (W) eats every Five Point Strike (Q) poke from outside melee, so Akali cannot chip his HP pre-6. Steel Tempest (Q) plus Sweeping Blade (E) wins every short trade and shoves her under tower past her level-3 spike.
Champions Akali beats
- Akshanmid
Heroic Swing (E) attaches only to terrain — in the open Akshan cannot swing through a fed Akali. Twilight Shroud (W) breaks his targeting on the 3-hit Dirty Fighting trade and Perfect Execution (R) chains through any swing window.

Twilight Shroud (W) goes invisible during Twofold Hex (Q) recast windup, breaking the curse target. Shuriken Flip (E) plus Perfect Execution (R) chain two dashes outside Across the Veil (W) refresh window for the kill.
- Ezrealbot
Ezreal lives on Mystic Shot (Q) and Essence Flux (W) linear skillshots that Akali sidesteps with Shuriken Flip (E) dash. Arcane Shift (E) is on a long cooldown — once Hextech Rocketbelt is online, Q plus empowered AA plus R2 clears him before his lane build outscales.
- Luxmid
Twilight Shroud (W) breaks Light Binding (Q) lock-on and Shuriken Flip (E) double-dash chain enters Final Spark (R) cast window before the laser fires. Perfect Execution (R) two-dash combo bursts Lux through Prismatic Barrier (W) shield in a single rotation.
- Oriannamid
Akali's Twilight Shroud invisibility breaks Command: Attack target lock and Shuriken Flip dash closes inside 825 range before the Ball returns. Perfect Execution two-dash combo bursts Orianna during Command: Shockwave windup,
- Renektontop
Ruthless Predator (W) stun needs melee contact and Slice and Dice (E) is a short dash, not a real gap-closer. Akali stays at Five Point Strike (Q) kunai range, walks Twilight Shroud (W) on the commit frame, and roams the moment her wave is shoved.
- Ryzemid
Shuriken Flip (E) plus Perfect Execution (R) double-dash blink onto Ryze inside 615 cast range, and Twilight Shroud (W) breaks targeted Rune Prison (W) line of sight before the root lands. Five Point Strike (Q) energy refunds keep her sticking on the next combo cycle.
- Swainsupport
Shuriken Flip (E) dodges Nevermove (E) root and Twilight Shroud (W) breaks Vision of Empire (W) lock-on damage; Demonic Ascension (R) ramp loses to a level-6 R1 plus Q burst combo before Swain stacks healing.
- Vel'Kozmid
Akali Shuriken Flip (E) plus Perfect Execution (R) two-stage dash enters Vel'Koz Life Form Disintegration Ray (R) channel window before he can finish, and the R locks him in place for 2.5s, breaking the moment Twilight Shroud (W) invisibility blocks line of sight.
- Viktormid
Akali Shuriken Flip (E) plus Perfect Execution (R) two-stage dash chain skips Viktor Gravity Field (W) tick and closes the 600 range gap before the field stuns. Twilight Shroud (W) invisibility breaks his target lock during Hextech Ray (E) cast and Assassin's Mark proc bursts
