How to play as Akali

When Gwen casts Hallowed Mist, wait for it to end or enter the mist before committing Q or E; attacks and abilities from outside cannot target her.

Use the favorable lane to build pressure early; Akali players describe Gwen as easier to handle in lane but more impactful once teamfights start. (Unverified: no source confirms this note.)

While Gwen W is active, enemies outside its mist cannot target her with attacks or abilities.
