Akali Patch History
Every buff and nerf, with the numbers, 3.8 to 26.16
Akali has been touched in 47 of the 305 patches tracked here, across 132 individual values: 68 moved in their favour, 64 against. Most recent change: patch 14.15.
The abilities Riot keeps touching
Health, attack damage, armour, magic resist, movement speed, attack range and their per-level growth.
Dealing spell damage to a champion creates a ring of energy around them. Exiting that ring empowers Akali's next autoattack with bonus range and damage.
Akali throws out five kunai, dealing damage based on her bonus Attack Damage and Ability Power and slowing. When cast near full energy, Five Point Strike heals Akali.
Akali drops a cover of smoke. While inside the shroud, Akali becomes invisible and unable to be selected by enemy spells and attacks and gains Movement Speed. Attacking or using abilities will briefly reveal her.
Flip backward and fire a shuriken forward, dealing physical damage. The first enemy or smoke cloud hit is marked. Re-cast to dash to the marked target, dealing the same damage.
Akali leaps in a direction, stunning and damaging enemies she strikes. Re-cast: Akali dashes in a direction, executing all enemies she strikes.
The kit this replaced
Reworked in patch 8.15. Icons are the originals, still served by Data Dragon at version 3.7.9.
