Akali deletes the target the moment someone is caught. Enough Split sits in the kit to threaten a side lane once the map opens. W (Twilight Shroud) refunds 100 energy and creates an expanding invisibility cloud broken by her own attacks/abilities — an escape/reset tool, not a tank cooldown.

Kit quirks

W (Twilight Shroud) refunds 100 energy and creates an expanding invisibility cloud broken by her own attacks/abilities — an escape/reset tool, not a tank cooldown
Passive (Assassin's Mark) rewards disengaging after damaging a champion: moving out of the mark ring grants bonus movement speed and empowers her next auto with doubled range and bonus magic damage
R (Perfect Execution) is a two-part dash: first hit deals flat magic damage, recast dashes further and deals missing-health-scaling damage, functioning as a long-range execute

Dragons & win rate

Win rate when Akali's team secured at least one of each drake, next to the all-champion rate in that same state. Teams that take dragons are usually already ahead, so every champ wins more with them — the honest read is the gap, i.e. whether Akali beats the average team that also has the drake. Single-drake samples are thin; treat small counts as suggestive.

Assassin's Mark

Effect radius: 500Ring offset: -120

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 an uncancellable windup, gain doubled range and deal 35 – 182 (based on level) (+ 60% bonus AD) (+ 55% AP) bonus magic damage.

Notes (6)

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 empowered attack will trigger but not be consumed nor apply its effects against structures and wards.

Twilight Shroud

Cooldown: 20 / 19 / 18 / 17 / 16Cast time: 0.25Target range: 250Effect radius: 350 • 1175Queue threshold: 0.5

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 again for 1 – 0.625 (based on level) 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.

Targeting input: DirectionAffects: Self, Enemies

Notes (4)

Akali will also not gain the invisibility if she is Recalling.
It is possible for Akali to detonate the smoke bomb on the far side of terrain from her current location.
Twilight Shroud's effects begin at the start of the cast time.
Using a basic attack breaks the stealth at the start of the attack windup.

Active: Akali flips backward after 0.15 seconds into the cast time, and after the cast time throws a shuriken in the target direction that deals magic damage to the first enemy hit.

Magic Damage: 21 / 42 / 63 / 84 / 105 (+ 30% AD) (+ 33% AP)

The shuriken marks and reveals the enemy or the last Twilight Shroud smoke section hit for 3 seconds, during which Shuriken Flip can be recast to consume the mark.

Recast: Akali dashes towards the marked target or smoke section. Against enemies she deals magic damage upon arrival.

Magic Damage: 49 / 98 / 147 / 196 / 245 (+ 70% AD) (+ 77% AP)
Total Magic Damage: 70 / 140 / 210 / 280 / 350 (+ 100% AD) (+ 110% AP)

Akali will not flip backwards if she is immobilized or grounded in the first 0.15 seconds of the cast time. Twilight Shroud and Perfect Execution can be cast during the recast's dash.

Notes (14)

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's first cast does not interrupt Akali's previous move or attack orders.
The recast does.
Shuriken Flip cannot be recast if the target is untargetable or is in another realm.
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.
