What makes Akshan dangerous
Akshan double-taps with his passive (plus a shield at three hits), swings around terrain firing on the move, goes camouflaged with move speed (R... W), and killing a marked "Scoundrel" RESURRECTS every ally that player killed. His ultimate locks on and unloads a dodgeable barrage.
How to play against Akshan
- 1When marked as Scoundrel, play safe — your death revives their team.
- 2Body-block his ult with any unit — each bullet stops on the first thing hit.
- 3His swing (E) needs terrain — fight him in open spaces.
- 4Control wards and sweepers break the camouflage roams.
Weaknesses to exploit
- ✓Squishy with a telegraphed, terrain-dependent escape.
- ✓The ult channel is interruptible and body-blockable.
- ✓Weak when camouflage is scouted.
- ✓Revive pressure disappears if Scoundrels play safe.
Abilities & how to counter them
What each of Akshan's abilities does — and how to play around it.
P
FourberieTous les trois coups venant de ses attaques ou de ses compétences, Akshan inflige des dégâts supplémentaires. Il gagne aussi un bouclier si la cible est un champion.Quand Akshan attaque, il effectue une attaque supplémentaire qui inflige moins de dégâts. S'il annule l'attaque supplémentaire, il gagne à la place de la vitesse de déplacement.
Strong: three hits shield him; alternating shots add bonus damage. Weak: the shield needs the third hit — disengage at two.
Q
VengerangAkshan lance un boomerang qui inflige des dégâts à l'aller et au retour. Sa portée augmente chaque fois qu'il touche un ennemi.
Strong: a boomerang that pokes twice and speeds him per champion hit. Weak: returns along the same path — don't stand in the echo.
W
Cavalier seulPassivement, Akshan applique une marque Crapule sur les champions ennemis quand ils tuent des champions alliés. Si Akshan tue une Crapule, il ressuscite les alliés qu'elle a tués, gagne des PO supplémentaires et dissipe toutes les marques.À l'activation, Akshan se camoufle. Il gagne aussi de la vitesse de déplacement et de la régénération du mana quand il se dirige vers des Crapules. Akshan perd rapidement son camouflage quand il est hors des hautes herbes ou loin des éléments de terrain.
Strong: camouflage roams that REVIVE dead allies on Scoundrel kills. Weak: sweepers reveal him; scoundrels who play safe defuse the revive.
E
Envolée héroïqueAkshan tire un grappin sur un élément de terrain et se balance autour. Pendant ce balancement, il tire à répétition sur l'ennemi le plus proche. Percuter un champion ou un élément de terrain le fait tomber de la corde, mais il peut aussi sauter de la corde prématurément.
Strong: swings around terrain firing on every arc. Weak: needs terrain to anchor and breaks on CC — fight him in the open.
R
Bien mérité !Akshan se verrouille sur un champion ennemi et commence à stocker des balles. Quand il relâche la compétence, il tire toutes les balles stockées et inflige des dégâts selon les PV manquants du premier champion, sbire ou bâtiment touché.
Strong: a locked-on execute barrage that scales with missing HP. Weak: every bullet stops on the FIRST thing hit — body-block with anything.
Itemization
Respect the Scoundrel mark, block the barrage with bodies, and drag fights away from swing terrain.
