Akshan ARAM Build 26.22

B

One narrow bridge means Akshan always has a wall to grapple, and Heroic Swing lets him arc off the edge of the Howling Abyss to fire into the packed fight. Avenge a fallen teammate by cutting down their killer to bring them back, and let Comeuppance pour a stream of charges down the bridge at a team with nowhere to dodge.

Akshan Item Build

Akshan pairs attack damage with attack speed so his Dirty Fighting passive keeps firing the third-hit shield that blunts the endless chip, the map pressure his roaming kit buys on the Rift meaningless on one bridge, every point of gold instead sharpening the sustained trading that refreshes the shield and drives his boomerang through the packed front line.

Best Akshan Runes

Press the Attack lines up with Akshan's hit-and-run rhythm on the Abyss, where he chips the clumped team with Avengerang and swings in on Heroic Swing only when he can catch someone low. There is no backline to flank here, so the page supports poke and repositioning over a straight dive. Play around the swing and the return arrow.

Akshan wants The Collector first, then Blade of The Ruined King, to make every Avengerang count on the crowded bridge. He builds his Going Rogue stealth off takedowns in the nonstop 5v5, and the walls hugging the Abyss give Heroic Swing plenty of anchors to swing around the clump and reposition. Prioritize the damage that turns his boomerang poke into real pickoffs.

Akshan Skill Order

Going Rogue, whose Scoundrel window the Abyss sets to 10 seconds, sits on one rank from the opening allocation all the way to level 14. Avengerang front-loads instead at 4, 5, 7 and 9, with Heroic Swing filling 8, 10, 12 and 13.

Put your points into Q first for the poke that keeps the enemy clump chipped between fights, then E and W. The Avengerang is Akshan's range on a map with no safe distance, and the recharge on Heroic Swing is what keeps him mobile around the choke. Line up Comeuppance on whoever the fight leaves lowest.

Akshan ARAM Abilities

Avengerang stretches its range each time the boomerang clips an enemy, so a full minion line turns it into long poke, and Comeuppance stores bullets that scale off a target's missing health. His passive offers a choice too, cancel the bonus shot for a burst of move speed.
