Tips & Tricks
- New variation of Akali + Jax that doesn't play around Jinx and instead plays around 5 N.O.V.A and support units
- Like most solo frontline comps, the line is stronger with Yasuo hexes that buff the Jax or any augments that buff him
- If you get Akali from Caretaker's Ally or Worth the Wait, can push levels instead of going for Jax 3 and play around Morgana as tank

Economy Strategy
2-Cost Reroll
- Level to 4 if you have upgrades and a good item to place on one of those upgrades.
- Level to 5, unless on 3 loss streak.
- Level to 6. Roll until stable. "Stable" changes depending on rank, items, augments, composition, and patch, but generally it involves 2-starring your desired 2-cost carry and a tank with items. Major divergence between elos: The lower your elo, the less upgrades you need to be "stable" and thus lower elo players should generally roll less than high elo players on 3-2.
- After your 3-2 rolldown, you should attempt to rebuild your economy to 50g.
- Once you reach 50g (it might be later than 3-5), start slow rolling down to ~52g each turn. Try to avoid rolling to exactly 50g as any unit you want to buy in shop will put you below 50g.
- If you are high HP relative to the lobby, continue slow rolling to 52g each turn. If you are lower HP, you should roll to hit your first 2-cost 3 star on 4-1 or 4-2. If you have to roll below 30g, your placement is usually capped at 3rd or 4th.
- If you are still high HP (70+), you can continue to slow roll. Otherwise, in the majority of cases, you should roll deep for your 3-stars here. If your HP is low, you can even go to 0 gold looking for your 3-stars. If you have your 3-stars and can afford to level to 7 with 10g+, do so.
- Level to 7 if you haven't already.
- Level to 8 as soon as possible. This may not happen until 5-5 or in some games, stage 6.
- Level to 9 whenever possible. This is rare, but can happen in the games you have a chance of winning.

How’s Feed the Flame as a condition? Akali can heal of it
tried comp a few times and went bot 4 every time – would NOT suggest if you are trying to climb tbh
death’s dance is OP tier
I’ve been hard forcing this comp and its really strong. add heroic grab bag and second wind on tier conditions. if no choice of tank u can also grab Rhaast if u can make him 3s. It’s hard to play if there’s primordian rr also buying akali. check for stargazer if its medallion more likely you’ll be contested on jax. if contested jax/akali just go kindred nova if you dont have duplicators u’ll just bleed.
somehow this comp can beat anima cashout in gm
