Liandry's Akali build with runes and items. Liandry's Akali guide offers in-depth how-to play, skill order and tips. Play Liandry's Akali build in League of Legends Patch 25.S1.3!
Playing Liandry's Akali build, your default rush is Liandry's Torment vs. HP, Blackfire Torch vs. squishes. Then get the other item
Adapt to an enemy team. Are they full of tanks, and they rush tons of Magic Resist? You rush Void Staff as #2 or #3 item to counter MR stacking. Their team has champs with lots of healing? Rush Oblivion Orb as #2 item (upgrade to Morellonomicon as 4th or 5th item).
Items like Morellonomicon or Oblivon Orb are extra effective with this build, thanks to damage over time effects from Liandry's Torment.
In some rare cases, when an enemy team has an extremely strong shielding, you can even buy Serpent's Fang. It works with your DoTs, meaning shield reduction lasts longer.
They have lots of melee? Or you just want to kite them? Get Rylai's Crystal Scepter.
Somebody is going after you each fight? Always getting ulted by enemy assassins? Rush Zhonya's Hourglass.
If you are doing well, are ahead and want to have some fun, you can buy The Collector item. It works off your damage over time effects!
Tips and Tricks
Riot
Akali excels at killing fragile champions. Let your team initiate and then strike at the people in the back.
Twilight Shroud offers safety in even the most dangerous situations. Use that time to save up energy for a quick strike later.
