Abilities

Riot's own text for each slot, in the order the champion learns them.

PASSIVE ASSASSIN'S MARK

Dealing spell damage to a champion creates a ring of energy around them. Exiting that ring empowers Akali's next autoattack with bonus range and damage.

1 FIVE POINT STRIKE

Akali throws out five kunai, dealing damage based on her bonus Attack Damage and Ability Power and slowing at maximum range.

2 TWILIGHT SHROUD

Akali drops a cover of smoke and briefly gains Movement Speed and restores Energy. While inside the shroud, Akali becomes invisible. Attacking or using abilities will briefly reveal her.

3 SHURIKEN FLIP

Akali flips backward and fires a shuriken forward, dealing magic damage. The first enemy or smoke cloud hit is marked. Re-casting dashes to the marked target, dealing additional damage.

ULTIMATE PERFECT EXECUTION

Akali leaps in a direction, damaging enemies she strikes. Re-casting dashes in a direction, executing all enemies she strikes.
