Wild Akali:
In 9.19 patch Akali got her powers back and with the impact of new items she became even stronger. After 9.20 she only lost 0.5 attack speed and 5% crit chance from assassin 3 buff and 25% crit damage from IE. We can still increase her crit chance by +65% (%60 with triple IEs and %5 with Assassin 3 buff) which makes her crit chance %90. Also with the help of Wild buff her skills which deals crit damage can pass through Phantom Dancer. And with the nerf to Dragon buff and Dragon’s Claw item (both of them have 75% magic resist) that delivered in 9.19 patch her skills deals considerable damage through both.
How to: You can’t change any unit expect Pyke in this build (don’t replace him with Zed). Don’t roll until level 7, if you don’t have 2 stars of both Nida and WW you should roll at Golems. Focus on collecting Sparring Gloves at draft stages.
This is the best pre build at level 5 for this build. You can use items on Zed but don’t waste to build items that you won’t use at late game. When you find Akali and Gnar at level 7 you can sell Zed and put Akali, Gnar and also either Vi or Jayce in. Since Jayce effects on 3 units i recommend using him.
Pros: High damage, counters of Knights, Nobles, Yordles origins. Good against Phantom Dancer thanks to Wild buff. Also good against item based builds (like Vayne, Draven, Katarina carry builds) thanks to Hextech buff.
Medium/High deffence thanks to 2 Brawlers and 3 Shapeshifters. Gnar becomes unkillable at some points with the right item selection. I recommend using Warmog’s, PD and Dragon’s Claw.
Even if you only complete Akali’s items you won’t lost any power. You’ll still have the high damage and medium deffence which is enough to finish at top 4. Other items only increase your chance of winning the game
Cons: Since Akali is your only damage dealer, when she hitted by Phantom or Hextech buff/ Cc’ed long time/ one hitted by Arcane Gauntlet Aurelion sol you’ll most likely lost that round.
Ninja/Elementalist:
This build is similar to Akali/Wild build only difference is you have much powerful Akali because of the 4 Ninja buff and 2 more damage dealers by her side (Kennen and Brand/Anivia). Deffensively you have Golem and Shen which can take the role of WW and Vi. Also you can have 6 Sins at level 9 if you build a Youmuu and give it to Kennen instead of giving Redemption.
How to: Play the early game with Zed, Kha, Pyke, Kassa. At some point you can bench the Zed for Kennen with still having 3 Sins on board. Focus on building Akali items first, you can stack items only on Kha’zix he is actually can carry the mid game with the items. Only use your golds to buy needed units, do not roll for them until 7. Try to reach level 7 with good economy, atleast 50 golds. You can also stack Ionic Sparks on Liss to counter Dragon and Dragon’s Claw builds.
Pros: This build has more damage sources than Akali/Wild build. It allows you to use 6 Sins which makes it even stronger.
Cons: Since it doens’t include Wilds it can be hard to play against Yordles. This comp depends on finding Akali and Brand which are the most used 4 gold units in this patch.
Imperial/Knight/Phantom:
With the 9.20 patch chance of finding 5 gold units (5% to 8%) at level 8 increased and with that this comp become more reliable. Now, finding Swain at level 8 and completing 4 imperials is easier than ever. With this build you will have 3 carries unlike the Vayne build which has only one carry.
How to: Play the early game with Vayne, Luci, Garen and Dari/Morde. Stack the items either on Vayne or on Luci. Don’t spend any gold. Only roll to 2* Dari, Garen and Morde until level 7. At 7 roll for Draven, Seju and Kindred. Don’t waste gold for 2* Draven at level 7, when you find it wait until 8 to find Swain. If you can’t build or find Knight’s Vow there are no meaning of leveling 9, just play with 4 Knights. You can build Mana items on Kata instead of Thief’s Gloves that way she will use her ulti faster, with imperial buff her skill is enough to kill an entire backline without any offensive item. While Draven killing the frontline she will wipe the backline.
This can be used at level 7. Instead of wasting Imperial buff on Darius you can use Garen and let the Buff go either Kata or Dra.
And as i mentioned if you can't find Knight's Vow you can finish the build at level 8. You will only have 35 damage reduction from any given damage instead of 65 reduction at 6 Knights. This is a huge difference but doesn't make the build an A-tier. You can use Poppy until you find Kayle.
Pros: Draven and Kata are much faster than Vayne on killing. Draven will be hard to kill with Knight buff and Guardian Angel (also the healing effect from Bloodthirster). With Phantom buff you will start the round 1-0 ahead of your opponents. Swain is also hard to handle with Knight and Imperial buff on him, so you won’t have any difficulty even if something happens on your Draven.
Cons: This build depends on finding Swain and atleast 2* Draven. You will not be strong until you find them. You will only have Kata and Swain against Yordles and Draven against Dragons. Needs a good positioning against Akali builds.
Vayne carry:
Brawler/Gunslinger:
One of the best builds in use right now. Already used in 9.19 and 9.20 at top ranks. This build has similar principle with Knight builds, while brawlers gain time with their huge hp bars Jinx and Luci slay the enemies with the helps of Giant Slayer and Infinity Edge. This comp also has strong cc which is good against Akali comps.
How to: Without 6 brawlers and 2 gunslingers this comp is garbage. You can’t finish top 4 with brawler 4 buff, so leveling is important than having 3* units. You must have Giant Slayer and IE on atleast one of your carries, other one can use Thief’s Gloves. Ionic Spark is a great counter for Akali and Aurelion Sol comps and it must be your first priority after finishing GS and IE.
Do not force to win early game, collecting B.F. Sword, Sparring Gloves and Recurve Bow is more important than having high hp. For early game play with Tris and Luci. Use items on Tris that way when you find Jinx you won’t have to worry about selling Luci for items. Do not roll until level 8.
Pros: Deffensively strong, has a lot of cc option, does not have many counters, not difficult to build.
Cons: Depends on items, only has 2 carries.
One of the best counter of Brawler/Gunslinger build. Even if you have 3 star Vayne and 1 star Kindred with 4 Knights you can beat most of the comps that already at level 8. With items on Vayne she destroys 3 units in 9 basic attacks at the same time in any case.
How to: There is two ways of playing this comp. 1st; you roll to make all of your 1 gold units 3 star before level 6. Then when you find Kindred at level 6 you can lay back, drink your coffee and watch your movie at background until you have enough golds to level 8 and put 2 other Knights.
2nd; You only roll to find 3 star Vayne and 2 star your other 1 gold units then level 6 to find Kindred and level 8 early to use 6 Knights instead of sitting at level 6 too long since you don’t have any guarantee to make every unit 3 star.
Pros: There are no units you can’t kill with your Vayne. Probably most deffensive build at the game with the 6 Brawlers. Mostly uses low cost units with that its easy to level 3 most of your units. Only needs 3 full items. With the Phantom buff you start 1-0 to the round.
Cons: This build only have one damage source if you lost it you lost the round (With good positioning you can stand against it).
