Item Build Description

Additional information on the items

First item you should always buy is Amplifying Tome. From there, you can upgrade it into a Hextech Revolver.

EARLY GAME (IMPORTANT PART !)

After getting your Hextech Revolver, you want to rush Rod of Ages next. This may seem weird and wasteful but, Akali gets a powerspike as soon as she gets ult and Hextech Revolver.  Your main focus after this should be getting a Rod of Ages so she can scale overtime, since we are going for the Full Ap build on our favourite Assasin; Akali. 

After obtaining Rod of Ages, you can go through her usual build route :

ROD OF AGES > HEXTECH GUNBLADE > INFINITY ORB/STASIS ENCHANT > RABADON'S DEATHCAP > VOID STAFF/MORRELONOMICON

You should switch between either Void Staff  or Morrelonomicon for your last slot depending on your match up

i.e : if you see a mundo,master yi,vayne (any champ with insane healing basically) in the enemy team, you should get Morrelonomicon.  If the enemy team have super tanky champs (Amumu, Alistar, Blitz , etc.) You go for Void Staff as your last item.

(Psst : Akali's empowered attack from her passive can be a guaranteed critical hit  that deals 20% more damage against low health enemies with Infinity Orb  so i suggest always adding it to your build)

Akali Runes

Best Runes for Akali

Keystone
Conqueror
Conqueror
Domination
Triumph
Triumph
Resolve
Adaptive Carapace
Adaptive Carapace
Inspiration
Hunter Genius
Hunter Genius
Conqueror rune is the key to our Full AP build as it gives 10% bonus damage when fully stacked which is so much more valuable compared to electrocute. You want to get Triumph next for the healing since you would be doing a lot of tower diving whenever you're playing Akali. The 3rd and 4th rune slot is up to you but i would recommend always taking Hunter Genius since you can easily get full stacks with akali.
