summary

This article is a guide to the Protector Akali structure, which is currently a hot topic of discussion and is based on our own analysis.

This article covers all the basics and applications of the structure, including how to progress from the beginning to the end of the game, carry switching patterns, how to choose augments and items, and tips on how to play.

The next section will provide an easy-to-understand explanation for beginner to intermediate level users.

*We will update this page with any additional information as it becomes available!

Completion/Progression

complete form

This configuration employs Akali★2 as a carry and Ka Sante★2 as a tank.

While buying time with Protector 6 and Night Edge, wait for Akali’s Guinsaw Rageblade and Ark Angel Staff stacks to accumulate, and finally Akali will lay down one layer of the enemy.
With the right placement, it is possible to defeat the enemy’s rear carry even without stacks.

Once level 9 is reached, add a second Akali ★2 to strengthen the backline’s ability to destroy.

Code for Team Planner

Copy Copied! function copyText() { const text = document.getElementById(“copyText”).innerText; const msg = document.getElementById(“copyMsg”); navigator.clipboard.writeText(text).then(() => { msg.style.display = “inline”; setTimeout(() => { msg.style.display = “none”; }, 2000); }).catch(err => { alert(“コピーに失敗しました: ” + err); }); }

Early stage (2 stages): win progression, making items for Akari

This configuration is based on Battle Academies, Protectors, etc. drawn early in the game, and aims for a winning progression while using overlapping units.
*If it looks like a losing progression, consider 10 losses in a row while playing Crystal Gambit.

Akali items should be carried by overlapping units such as Ezreal and Shindra.
Also, secure protector units such as Kenen and Malphite to the extent that you do not lose interest.
(Low-cost protector units are weak, making it difficult to get them on the board and progress early in the game.)

Akali’s best items are listed below.
These materials are prioritized for acquisition in Sushi.

Akali:Akali: Archangel’s Staff (Core), Guinsoo’s Rageblade (Core) + Optional (Night Edge, Spear of Shojin, Void Staff, etc.)

Middle stage (3 stages): Continue winning progression

Raise the level to 6 at 3-2 and continue to aim for a winning progression while utilizing overlapping units.

At Sushi, continue to prioritize acquiring Akari items.

End of the day (4 stages -): Akali, Ca Sante stacked on top of each other.

Raise it to level 8 at 4-2 and aim for 2 ★ for Akali and Ka Sante.
The composition is such that 5-costs are almost never included, so the 4-costs should be stacked off solidly at level 8.

If Ka Sante is not available, Jarvan IV can be used.

Item Guide

• Akali:Archangel’s Staff (Core), Guinsoo’s Rageblade (Core) + Optional (Night Edge, Spear of Shojin, Void Staff, etc.)
• Ca sante: tank items, surplus items
• Janna: Utility items such as shredding, wounding, etc.

Recommended Augments

Since there are few item holders and the structure is designed to win in four stages, priority is basically given to combat and economic augmentations.

Combat Augments > Economic Augments > Item Augments

Power Up (Recommended)

Akali: Mage, Dark Amulet, Finalist, Crimson Veil, Trickster

Ca Sante: Unstoppable, Resistance, Transformation

Tips for play and placement

• Playing requirement: at least two materials for Akari items (especially Ark Angel Staff and Night Edge).
  
  
• The following arrangement makes it easier for Akari’s skills to reach the rear guard directly

If you want to target the enemy carry on the far right: Place Akali in the front row, third from the right.

If you want to target the enemy carry on the far left: Place Akali in the front row, third from the left.

impression

The much talked about protector Akali configuration is very cost-effective, and once completed, it is very powerful from stage 4 to the first half of stage 5.

The power when completed is also very high, and even against a superior opponent, it is possible to win with a single placement of Akali.

As a powerful landing place in the current relatively well-balanced environment, this is a noteworthy configuration that you should definitely add to your hand!
