From zero to hero, Akshan swings into action from the lawless streets of Shurima.
Trained by his Sentinel mentor, he’s an assassin that rails down opponents from a
distance with flashy precision.
It’s not all fun and games roaming across Summoner’s Rift – this sauve rule-breaker is on a mission for vengeance.
So Scoundrels...beware!
Welcome to the Akshan Champion Spotlight.
Akshan’s passive is Dirty Fighting.
Every third hit from his auto-attacks or abilities deals additional damage.
When fighting against enemy champions, Akshan also gains a shield for a few seconds.
After an auto-attack, Akshan will fire an additional shot.
He can also cancel that shot to gain movement speed instead.
Akshan’s Q throws his Avengerang, damaging and revealing enemies from their hiding spots.
If it collides with enemy champions, he gains movement speed for a brief duration.
Each time an enemy is hit, the Avengerang’s range is extended farther.
How does it come back again?
Akshan’s W is Going Rogue.
It's passive marks Scoundrels: enemy champions who’ve killed Akshan’s allies.
If he takes down a Scoundrel, he gains gold and resurrects the fallen allies.
Activating Going Rogue lets Akshan camouflage himself briefly when there’s no enemies around.
When moving near a wall or in brush, he can hide indefinitely
While camouflaged, he gains increased mana regen and movement speed towards Scoundrels.
Aaaaand this is the part where they run away.
You get around the Rift in style with Heroic Swing.
Akshan fires a grappling hook that attaches to the first wall hit and swings around it.
To get the most distance out of your E, grapple from max range.
Akshan then dives off the rope and fires a final, powerful attack.
If he collides with an enemy champion or terrain before landing, he attacks automatically instead.
Enemy takedowns refresh Heroic Swing’s cooldown, granting him opportunities for Reset City.
While he’s able to sweep around, Akshan cannot swing or dive over walls.
So try not to crash.
Akshan’s ultimate is Comeuppance.
Locking onto an enemy champion, Akshan charges his gun, the Absolver and stores up bullets
for a massive attack.
Recast to unleash a barrage of bullets onto the first target with damage scaling based
on missing health.
Not one to be locked down, Akshan can move around and Heroic Swing while charging Comeuppance.
But watch where you aim!
Bullets can be blocked by minions and towers.
A troublemaker by trade, Akshan shines early with his ability to efficiently roam and stir up the map.
Try to catch the enemy team off-guard before they even have a chance to react.
Ouch, talk about mid diff!
Going Rogue combines the strongest parts of your assination talents.
If an enemy thinks they can get away with a kill, capitalize on the Scoundrel mechanic
and pick them off after the fight.
It’s way easier for you to pick off foes than engage in 1v1s, so stick close to your
allies for clutch revival plays.
His name is Akshan.
You killed his allies.
Prepare to die.
Akshan prefers picking off foes from a distance, so you’d be wise to evade champions that
get up close and personal.
Even a well-timed grappling hook might not be enough to escape.
Your team may not always make the best choices, but luckily Akshan thrives when he can swing
in and avenge his fallen allies.
If a teamfight goes sideways, keep your eye on the enemy-marked Scoundrel with the highest
kill count, find an opening and grapple in for the takedown.
With the Scoundrel defeated and your team revived, secure a victory on the enemy Nexus.
Vengeance never looked so good.
