This is such a useful runes that most Akali players run it even in her regular build. TranscendenceĪnd the final rune you want to have on tank Akali is Transcendence. Nullifying Orb has only 60 seconds cooldown. This shield grows with levels and with AP and AD. And since many champions have magic damage in season 12 (even fighters and ADCs get magic damage from their mythic items or runes), it procs every you get on low HP. Nullifying Orb grants you a magic shield when an enemy deals magic damage to you below 30% HP. However, it’s beneficial, especially on Akali. This is a very underestimated rune in League of Legends, and no one really uses it. One of the best secondary rune for Akali is Nullyfing Orb. And together with the tanky item build, you can easily reach 4000+ maximum health on Akali in each game. When you kill 120 minions or monsters in the game, Overgrowth grants an additional 3.5% max HP, which is also great. It synergizes with Grasp of the Undying and gives Akali a lot of extra health throughout the game. Overgrowth passively increases your maximum HP when you slay minions and monsters. OvergrowthĪnd the last rune from Resolve is Overgrowth. And I recommend you play with Bone Plating if you’re going against an assassin. It reduces the damage you take when an enemy champion attacks you. However, Bone Plating is the best choice in season 12 since everyone has burst. On the other hand, Conditioning is a great tank rune overall since it grants you bonus armor and magic resist. And you can definitely choose it if your lane opponent doesn’t have burst damage. For example, Second Wind allows you to heal yourself when an enemy attacks you. In reality, all three choices in this row are helpful in Akali. So, the more health you have, the quicker you’ll push the turrets.Īdditionally, Demolish has only 45 seconds cooldown, making it a very valuable tool for split pushing in League of Legends. Demolish lets you break almost an entire turret plate in the early game, but its damage scales with your maximum HP. In the second row of the Resolve tree, Demolish is the best rune to get for Akali. But the additional healing and stacking of health works perfectly for making Akali a tanky champion. Grasp of the Undying synergizes with Akali’s passive since she already has to use her basic attacks to deal damage. This is a ridiculously low cooldown for such an effect. Now, Grasp of the Undying empowers your auto-attacks every 4 seconds while in combat. Additionally, these attacks heal you for 2% of your max health and permanently increase your HP by 5. It allows your auto-attacks to deal 4% bonus damage based on your target’s max HP. Grasp of the Undying is one of the best dueling keystones in the game. That said, let’s check the tank Akali build in greater detail!Īlso read: Best Farming Mid Laners in League of Legends The Best Tank Akali Runes Grasp of the Undying And as I mentioned already, even tanks in League of Legends can one-shot someone nowadays, so you shouldn’t be afraid of lacking damage. In other words, tank Akali deals a bit less damage, but since she’s able to fight longer, she can do more damage overall. But will you be more durable and able to survive longer in team fights? Hell yes. Will you sacrifice a bit of your damage in the process? Yes. However, you can eliminate these weaknesses if you go for a tank build on Akali. And the proof for that is the poor success that this champion has this season. So, you can’t always rely on your dashes and your shroud to keep you safe from the enemy. Her damage is strong, but everyone else’s is too. And so, this leaves the squishy champion such as Akali in a pretty vulnerable spot.Īs Akali, you die extremely fast if the enemy team lands at least one crowd control ability on you. You’ve probably noticed that even tanks such as Ornn can one-shot you if they land their full combo. Season 12 brought many changes, but the most noticeable one is the amount of burst damage in the game. So, how does the tank Akali build fit here?īut first of all, let me explain why Akali (with her regular build) is currently in the 3rd tier of champions in League with an average win rate of 48%. And if you’ve played Akali even a bit in season 12, then you probably know that this playstyle doesn’t work. In other words, Akali is an assassin champion that outplays her opponents by being sneaky and slippery. When you think of Akali, you first think of her dashes, then her invisibility, and then her burst damage.
