Guide to Countering Sivir as Akali

Tips for Playing as Akali against Sivir

Akali excels at killing fragile champions. Let your team initiate and then strike at the people in the back.

Twilight Shroud offers safety in even the most dangerous situations. Use that time to save up energy for a quick strike later.

Advice to Win Against Sivir

When laning against Sivir, it is possible to throw off the timing of her Spell Shield by faking an advance, then backing off.

Sivir is a powerful pushing champion, so leaving her unattended in a lane for too long will often result in your turrets being destroyed.
