Assassin's Mark

EFFECT RADIUS:

Innate: Akali's damage with abilities against a champion create a ring around them for a few seconds, and she gains  move speed while moving away from the ring. Once Akali exits the ring, she regains the  move speed towards enemy champions and empowers her next basic attack with  bonus range and magic damage.

Innate: When Akali damages an enemy champion with an ability, she creates a ring around them for 4 seconds, refreshing on subsequent damaging abilities against champions. For 2 seconds, she gains 30 / 40 / 50 / 60% (based on level)  bonus movement speed while moving away from the center of the ring. Only one ring may be active at a time.

When Akali exits the ring, for 2 seconds, she regains the bonus movement speed while facing nearby enemy champions and becomes empowered with Swinging Kama for 4 seconds, during which she cannot create another ring.

Swinging Kama: Akali's next basic attack is empowered to have its  range doubled and deal 35 – 182 (based on level) (+ 60% bonus AD) (+ 55% AP) bonus magic damage.

• Enemies cannot see the ring, but can see the empower effect.
• Swinging Kama gives a static bonus range which doesn't change if Akali's range changes during it (i.e Rapid Firecannon):
  • If Rapid Firecannon fully charges within Swinging Kama's duration, Akali's total range increases to 337.5.
  • If Rapid Firecannon fully charges before gaining Swinging Kama, Akali's total range is increased to 395.
• The ring will be created around the last target hit by Five Point Strike.
• The ring's center is offset 120 units away from the enemy's center, towards Akali.
• The empowered attack can be dodged and blocked, and will be mitigated by blinds.
• The empowered attack will trigger but not be consumed nor apply its effects against structures and wards.
• This ability's damage is calculated based on the caster's stats at the time of its application.

CAST TIME:

0.25

TARGET RANGE:

250

EFFECT RADIUS:

350 / 1175

Active: Akali restores  energy and gains a brief burst of  move speed. She also drops a smoke shroud that makes her invisible, attacking or using abilities will briefly reveal her. The shroud will expand into a ring over a few seconds, during which Akali gains increased energy.

Active: Akali restores  100 energy over 0.4 seconds and gains  bonus movement speed that decays over 2 seconds. She also detonates a smoke bomb a fixed distance away in the target direction, creating a circular shroud that expands over the next 5 seconds into a ring. The shroud does not permeate terrain, and will expand toward nearby enemy champions. While the shroud is active, Akali's maximum energy is increased by 100.

Bonus Movement Speed:

30 / 35 / 40 / 45 / 50%

Shroud Duration:

5 / 5.5 / 6 / 6.5 / 7 seconds

Entering the shroud renders Akali invisible, unless she is dashing.

Declaring a basic attack or casting an ability will break the invisibility and prevent Akali from entering it for 1 – 0.625 (based on minutes) seconds, refreshing on subsequent attacks and casts.

The marked section of Twilight Shroud will linger for the mark's duration, even after the shroud ends.

Akali can move during Twilight Shroud's cast time.

• Akali will track the target if they change locations.
  • She will not stop tracking the target until she reaches them, as there is no maximum tracking distance.
• Both casts count as ability activations for the purposes of on-cast effects such as Spellblade and triggering Force Pulse's passive.
• Shuriken Flip does not interrupt Akali's previous move or attack orders.
  • The recast does.
• Shuriken Flip cannot be recast if the target is not visible or is untargetable.
• Akali will be ordered to basic attack the target after the recast's dash ends.
• Akali will dash backwards up-to 400 units in a straight line. This dash can cross terrain if the end point is beyond it. If she would end the dash inside terrain, she will instead look for a location in either direction left or right that is outside of terrain and dash there. If there is no such location, she will dash only up to the wall at her normal speed, ending the dash early.
• This ability will cast from wherever the caster is at the end of the cast time.
  • The shuriken missile will fire from wherever Akali is at the end of the cast time (usually mid-dash), but always towards and reaching the location that was 825 units in front of her at the start of cast. The only exception is if she moves via Flash, in which case the range of the missile is decreased relative to the distance she blinked.
• Killing an enemy with the shuriken will still mark the last area of the shroud hit.
• Attempting to cast Five Point Strike during either dash will buffer it to cast as soon as the dash ends.
• This ability's damage is calculated based on the caster's stats at the time of its application.

Original

11.05.2010

Abandoning the Kinkou Order and her title of the Fist of Shadow, Akali now strikes alone, ready to be the deadly weapon her people need. Though she holds onto all she learned from her master Shen, she has pledged to defend Ionia from its enemies, one kill at a time. Akali may strike in silence, but her message will be heard loud and clear: fear the assassin with no master.

Trivia

Akali, the Fist of Shadow

• Akali's dance referenced Single Ladies by Beyoncé.
  • A side-by-side comparison can be seen here.
• Akali was the only energy-based champion to have any associated cost on their ultimate (one Essence of Shadow).
• Shadow Dance was going to be a skillshot but became single-targeted instead.
• Akali used to gain the 'Law of Inverse Ninja Strength' cosmetic Easter egg debuff ("This unit is a flippin' ninja!" - "Ninjas are more effective when they work alone. For every Ninja on your team beyond yourself, you lose 1 health.") when she, Kennen, Shen, and/or Zed found themselves on the same team. It was removed in V3.14 for unknown reasons.
• In the V1.0.0.115 April Fools' Day patch, the following change regarding Akali was jokingly listed：
  • Akali is no longer a ninja.

Akali, the Rogue Assassin

• Due to Japanese rhotacism, Akali may sound identical to Japanese 明かりakari "light, brightness, gleam", from Old Japanese stative verbal root *aka(-r-) "to be red, to be bright" (> aka(-i) 赤(い) "red")
• Akali is the second champion, after Yasuo, to have an emote that will orient itself the same (facing towards the camera), no matter what direction Akali was facing.
  • However, she is the first to always reposition herself to face the camera when using the emotes, and has this function on both her dance and joke emotes.
• Akali's Series 1 Eternals make the following references:
  • Check Marks references the eponymous symbol.
  • Like a Ninja describes Shuriken Flip's mobility and use of shuriken, two features common in depictions of ninja in popular culture.

League of Legends Wiki | Champions

League of Legends content

Energy

 Energy is a resource designed to limit how much a champion is able to use their basic abilities during a set time frame rather than through the use of mana. It is represented by a yellow bar instead of blue.

---

Energy has a maximum of 200 (except for Shen, with 400), and regenerates rapidly, at a rate of 10 energy per second. This means that energy champions are not at risk of depleting their resource over a long period of time, however the small capacity restricts the rapid usage of multiple spells.

League of Legends content

Attack windup

The attack windup is a portion of the basic attack animation that must play out in order to launch it. For projectile basic attacks, the windup usually aligns with drawing the projectile on-screen.

---

The attack windup is displayed as a percentage, and any windup modifier is listed as a decimal next to it.

League of Legends content

Attack speed ratio

The Attack speed ratio (AS ratio) adjusts the effectiveness of bonus AS from all sources. It is usually equal to the unit's base AS (level 1 with no bonuses), but tuning to a higher or lower relative value translates to more or less bonus AS received compared to other units with the same base AS.

Total AS = Base AS + Bonus AS × AS Ratio
(All values in decimal form)

---

The ingame stats HUD displays the AS ratio instead of base AS to communicate this comparative effectiveness. The Wiki opts to always list both stats and show the AS ratio as "N/A" if the two are equal.

League of Legends content

Gameplay radius

A unit's gameplay radius is a stat that most closely resembles the concept of a 'hitbox', and is the radius used for edge range effects, which include basic attacks, line collision missiles, rectangular AOEs, and others. The gameplay radius determines the reach of both incoming and outgoing effects: for example, enemies are within a unit's  basic attack range based on the edge of their gameplay radius and vice versa.

League of Legends content

Selection radius

A unit's selection radius is a stat that determines the horizontally furthest point from the center of their model that other players' cursor is allowed to be, while still maintaining the ability to select that unit.

League of Legends content

Pathing radius

A unit's pathing radius is a stat that determines the gameplay area they occupy for unit-collision and pathfinding logic. A unit's center cannot intersect with another unit's pathing radius, unless one of them is ghosted.

League of Legends content

Selection height

A unit's selection height is a stat that determines the vertically furthest point from the center of their model at the ground that other players' cursor is allowed to be, while still maintaining the ability to select that unit.

---

Gameplay in League of Legends takes place in two dimensions no matter the visuals. However, a virtual height dimension that is perpendicular to the ground creates the game's three-dimensional view, which in combination with the camera's perspective necessitates the usage of the selection height.

League of Legends content

Acquisition radius

A unit's acquisition range is a stat that determines the distance at which they will acquire attack targets when a target unit is not specified by the player.

• Auto-attacking automatically orders an idle champion to acquire enemies within this range. This can be disabled in the Settings.
• Attack-move commands scan for targets within this range while moving toward a given location.

 Attack range bonuses modify the champion's acquisition range by the same amount.

League of Legends content

Top

Within a drafted team, the Top Laner is the champion assigned to the top lane.

Juggernauts, Divers, Battlemages, Skirmishers, and Vanguards are the most likely champions to be selected in the Top Lane position.

League of Legends content

Middle

Within a drafted team, the Mid Laner is the champion assigned to the mid lane.

Burst Mages, Artillery Mages, and Assassins are the most likely champions to be selected in the Mid Laner position.

League of Legends content

Assassin

Slayers (formerly "Assassins") are fragile but agile damage-focused melee champions that look to swiftly take down their targets.

---

Assassins specialize in infiltrating enemy lines with their unrivaled mobility to quickly dispatch high-priority targets. Due to their mostly melee nature, Assassins must put themselves into dangerous positions in order to execute their targets. Luckily, they often have defensive tricks up their sleeves that, if used cleverly, allow them to effectively avoid incoming damage.

Examples

• Akali
• Evelynn
• Zed

League of Legends content

Assassin (Legacy)

Assassins are fragile but agile damage-focused melee champions that look to swiftly take down their targets.

League of Legends content

Melee

Melee champions have a basic attack  range usually within 200 units. A melee attack does not use a projectile to deal damage, therefore not subject to effects that mitigate projectiles, like Wind Wall. Some champions can shift between a ranged and melee form, and certain items/runes differ for melee characters.

League of Legends content

Basic attack

The basic attack (or "auto") is the default means by which a unit deals damage, usually equaling  100% AD physical damage. Basic attacks are normally unit-targeted edge range spells, and the  attack range stat determines their reach.

The caster must stand still to complete a brief windup before launching a basic attack. Depending on the caster:

• If a caster's attacks are non-projectile (e.g. melee) launching the attack deals damage immediately.
• If a caster's attacks are projectile, launching the attack sends a projectile that follows the target and deals damage upon striking them.

The caster then incurs a brief cooldown, based on their  attack speed. Basic attacks' damage may trigger on-hit effects only upon dealing damage. On-attack effects will always trigger upon the attack's windup completing.

Spell damage

Spell damage is the damage type dealt by most single target abilities, as well as a select few basic attacks, items and runes. Spell damage is not exclusive to being applied by purely physical, magic or true damage, and instead can be dealt by any of the three damage sub-types.

---

Many effects are triggered whenever you deal an instance of spell damage. For example:

• Rylai's Crystal Scepter, Liandry's Torment and Luden's Companion.
• Omnivamp and Physical vamp (where applicable) heal for a percentage of damage dealt.
• Arcane Comet's current cooldown is reduced by 20% per instance of spell damage you deal to a champion.

Effects triggered by damage sub-types will occur (e.g. Black Cleaver on instances of Physical damage and Morellonomicon on instances of Magic damage).

Five Point Strike

COOLDOWN: 1.5

Active: Akali throws out a cone of kunai that deals magic damage to enemies hit. Targets hit at maximum range are briefly slowed.

League of Legends content

Dodge

Dodging an instance of damage will skip its damage event entirely, preventing it from being taken and effects that trigger from damage. Dodge takes precedence over block, but not blind.

---

Effects that dodge damage will only dodge instances that are dodgeable. Note that these are specified in the ability details on the Wiki.

Basic attacks and abilities that apply on-hit effects are always dodged, unless otherwise stated.

This effect is exclusive to Jax's Counter Strike and Nilah's Jubilant Veil.

League of Legends content

Block

Blocking an instance of damage will reduce its value to 0, but does not prevent effects that trigger from damage. Blind and dodge take precedence over block.

---

Effects that block damage will only block instances that are blockable. Note that these are specified in the ability details on the Wiki.

Basic attacks and abilities that apply on-hit effects are always blocked, unless otherwise stated.

This effect is exclusive to Shen's Spirit's Refuge and is similar though mechanically different to Dodge.

League of Legends content

Blind

A unit that is blinded will miss their basic attacks for the duration, comparable to attacking a target that is able to dodge or block, but not mechanically similar. Missed basic attacks will fail to deal damage and apply on-hit effects, with the exception of some empowered basic attacks. Blind does not prevent the unit from declaring attacks, unlike Disarm.

---

Interrupts:	Does not interrupt any actions, but will prevent on-hit effects from being triggered by basic attacks.
Reduction:	The duration is affected by Tenacity.
Resist:	Resisted by crowd control immunity.
Removal:	Removed by Cleanses with the exception of Mikael's Blessing.

League of Legends content

Slow

A unit that is slowed has reduced  movement speed for the duration. Slow percentages cannot reduce a target below  110 movement speed. Some slows will instead modify the target's movement speed to a static value, which may not be further reduced nor increased.

---

Only the slow with the highest value is taken into movement speed calculations. All additional slows are ignored until the higher-valued slow wears off. The strength of slows may amplify or decay over their duration. Slows of the same debuff cannot stack and will instead refresh on each application unless otherwise stated.

---

Interrupts:	Does not interrupt any actions.
Reduction:	The duration is affected by Tenacity. The strength is reduced by slow resist.
Resist:	Resisted by crowd control immunity and slow immunity.
Removal:	Removed by Cleanses, Garen's Decisive Strike, Master Yi's Highlander and Nunu's Biggest Snowball Ever!.

Area damage

Area damage is the damage type dealt by most area of effect abilities, as well as a select few basic attacks, items and runes. Area damage is not exclusive to being applied by purely physical, magic or true damage, and instead can be dealt by any of the three damage sub-types.

• Spell vamp heals with one-third effectiveness.
• Many items effects are triggered whenever you deal an instance of area damage (i.e. ability effects).
  • For example: Rylai's Crystal Scepter, Liandry's Torment and Luden's Companion.
  • Compared to single target spell damage, area damage does not trigger Muramana.
• Arcane Comet's current cooldown is reduced by 10% whenever you deal an instance of area damage to a champion.
• Area damage is reduced by 25% versus Jax's Counter Strike.
• Many champion summoned units such as Elise's Spider Queen, Yorick's Shepherd of Souls, and Naafiri's We Are More take reduced damage from area damage.

Effects triggered by damage subtypes will occur (i.e. physical, magic or true).

• Koi Pond
• Magma Chamber
• Reckoner Arena

Invisibility

Invisibility is a form of stealth that renders a unit hidden from enemy vision for a short period of time.

• Invisible units become visible only when affected by True Sight.

  ---

A stealthed unit's character model briefly shimmers for every instance of damage taken while stealthed. This shimmering does not make the unit selectable nor remove the stealth effect, only compromises its position.

League of Legends content

Dash

A dash is a quick movement action by a unit in which they move to a specific direction or location while traversing the intervening distance, ignoring the boundaries of terrain.

---

The game engine does not take into account the height of the unit; dashes that depict air travel are considered to be on the ground for targeting purposes such as skill-shots.

• Dashes should not be confused with displacement effects, which are usually sourced from enemy units (and are classified as crowd control debuffs).
• Dashes are interrupted by stasis (from an enemy), knockdown, and blinks.
• Dashes are overridden by all move blocks, which includes displacements and other dashes, as well as a few other cases.
• Not all dashes can traverse terrain (e.g. Justice Punch, Searing Charge, Tumble).
• Some dashes gain increased distance when directed through terrain (e.g. Umbral Dash, Perfect Execution, Phantom Undertow).

League of Legends content

Shuriken Flip

COOLDOWN: 16 / 14.5 / 13 / 11.5 / 10

Active: Akali dashes backward and throws a shuriken forward that deals magic damage and marks the first enemy or smoke cloud hit for a short time.

While Shuriken Flip marks a target, it can be recast.

Recast: Akali dashes to the marked target across any distance, dealing magic damage.

League of Legends content

Edge range

Edge range is calculated from the edge of a source unit's hitbox to the edge of a target unit's hitbox.

• Edge range is mostly used for basic attacks; skill shots; and point-blank areas of effect (including auras).
• These become more effective against large champions, as the source gains more reach against them. This may be favorable or unfavorable: durable champions tend to be larger and thus easier to hit, and frail champions tend to be smaller and more difficult to hit.

Twilight Shroud

COOLDOWN: 20 / 19 / 18 / 17 / 16

Active: Akali restores  energy and gains a brief burst of  move speed. She also drops a smoke shroud that makes her invisible, attacking or using abilities will briefly reveal her.

The shroud will expand into a ring over a few seconds, during which Akali gains increased energy.

League of Legends content

True sight

True Sight reveals units through Fog of War, brush, and stealth. It does not bypass nearsight effects.

League of Legends content

Immobilize

Immobilized units cannot control their movement. The following crowd control effects immobilize the unit:

• Airborne
• Forced Action ( Berserk, Charm, Flee, Taunt)
• Root
• Sleep
• Stasis
• Stun ( Suspension)
• Suppression

Impaired movement is a similar term that, in addition to the above, also refers to units that are slowed.

League of Legends content

Ground

A unit that is grounded is unable to activate movement spells for the duration. This effect does not innately knockdown a target that is already performing a dash. Grounded units can still be displaced.

---

Movement spells include all dash and blink abilities - including Recall / Empowered Recall and the summoner spells Flash, Teleport, Hexflash, and Dash, plus a number of additional cases.
Ground is the only type of crowd control that is most commonly found in persistent area of effects, which will reapply the status effect continuously.

---

Interrupts:	Interrupts movement channels unless otherwise stated.
Reduction:	The duration is affected by Tenacity.
Resist:	Resisted by crowd control immunity.
Removal:	Removed by Cleanses.

Crowd control applied by one's self or an ally cannot be countered in any way, neither reduced in duration, resisted, nor removed unless special cased to do so.

• The crowd control effect may still be cleansed if it is applied as a debuff separate from the originated ability.

League of Legends content

Perfect Execution

COOLDOWN: 120 / 90 / 60

Active: Akali dashes in the direction of the target enemy champion, dealing physical damage to enemies she passes through.

Perfect Execution can be recast within a period.

Recast: Akali dashes in the target direction, dealing magic damage to enemies she passes through based on their missing health.

League of Legends content

Spellblade

Spellblade is a unique named item effect that grants additional effects to the next on-hit trigger after casting a champion ability.

Force Pulse

COOLDOWN: 21 / 20 / 19 / 18 / 17

Passive: Ability casts reduce the cooldown of this ability.

Active: Kassadin emits a pulse of void energy in a cone in the target direction that deals magic damage to enemies and briefly slows them.

League of Legends content

Sight

Sight is a property of units, structures, certain summoner spells, items, and abilities that represents a team possessing vision of a target area or unit. It is always center range. A line of vision cannot extend beyond terrain or an unrevealed brush.

---

Sight can also refer to an effect that makes a unit visible regardless of the fog of war or brush, allowing them to be targeted. Standard sight cannot see stealthed units, but True Sight can.

• Nearsight is a crowd control debuff that inhibits sight; allied vision is lost in addition to a reduced sight radius.
• Obscured vision is similar to sight in a way that it can observe units, but does not render units targetable, rather it exposes their position and informs of their presence.
• Unobstructed vision is a form of sight that allows a unit to be able to see their full vision radius, ignoring any obstructions that would otherwise restrict visibility.
• All effects that use unit-targeting require sight of the target. Delayed unit-targeted attacks and spells can cancel if sight of the selected target is suddenly lost.

League of Legends content

Untargetable

A unit that is untargetable is an invalid target; it can neither be selected nor hit by most effects. Effects that have already been applied are not invalidated by the unit becoming untargetable, unless they are special-cased to do so.

---

Becoming untargetable will interrupt acqusition. This also causes non-champions to lose aggro. Many untargetabilities additionally destroy all incoming unit-targeted projectiles.

League of Legends content

Centered range

Centered range is calculated from the center of a source unit's hitbox to the center of a target unit's hitbox.

• Centered range is used for most unit-targeted abilities.
• It is less effective and may seem to have diminished reach against large units.

League of Legends content

Assassin's Mark

Innate: Akali's damage with abilities against a champion create a ring around them for a few seconds, and she gains  move speed while moving away from the ring.

Once Akali exits the ring, she regains the  move speed towards enemy champions and empowers her next basic attack with  bonus range and magic damage.
