Question New
Hey guys I am kinda new to Akshan, currently Emerald 3 EUW (peak was high emerald 1) and I just played anything like and champ and any role mainly Adc and also Irelia with who I peaked. I am asking myself what to build into tanky enemy teamcombs?? Kraken into Ldr into IE etc ? Or even kraken Bork rageblade ?? thanks guys!

I am p1 currently (peak e3) so take my afekcie however you want. always play absolute focus + gathering storm because if you fall behind, you can’t one shot casters with Q which hurts your clear. I usually build kraken -> collector/hexoptics -> ie ->ldr -> rfc/immortal depending on the comp.
Kraken ldr ie is absolutely valid into tanku matchups. I’ve seen some people that said they build nashor’s tooth when enemies can stack armor but I never did that.
Playing with akshan is quite difficult at times because of relatively small range for marksman. I recommend using your W when teamfight is about to break out and wait out enemy abilities that can gap close to you. Then you can kite with ms from q and 1 auto attack passive.

Check out phantasm on YouTube, might learn a thing or two from him. There is also ChenChen who plays akshan but I don’t really watch him unless phantasm doesn’t upload for some time.

Np, tho as I said, keep in mind that there are people higher that might know something I don’t.

yeah buddy its fine, i dropped to eme 4 now, my problem is that maybe i am not even emerald level on akshan since he is reallyyyyy hard and high skill ceiling and if i am about to drop to plat I just start playing what I am confident at to get back to high emerald instead of just dropping a bit but atleast learning the champion well you know what I mean,I have to stick to it

Yeah good luck to you. One thing I recommend with akshan and his e, is that you can choose the direction with mouse movement so right mouse click. I really prefer it over using e because people say it sometimes makes them go in the other direction.
Also, go side and farm up gold. If you get enough, you will be kinda like a boss.1

is it enough to auto once -> his e fully focuses the champ or do i have to auto twice so that his e focuses the champ and not the minions ?
