Top 3 Tips for Playing Akai

  1. Always initiate team fights — your crowd control is what opens the window for your damage dealers.
  2. Buy Tough Boots or Warrior Boots early against heavy CC enemies, and swap to Dominance Ice late game.
  3. Ward the jungle entrances and river bushes — information wins games more than damage does.
