How to play Akai:
Akai specializes in supporting his allies and getting to the front of the fight to tank hits and force enemies to focus him with his constant shields and considerable damage thanks to the marks on his special 2.
Coordinating with your teammates and ambushing opponents combined with Akai’s tanky stats and item builds will unleash havoc on your enemies.
Use skill 1 (Headbutt) to deal physical damage and knocked them.
Use skill 2 (Body Slam) to dealing physical damage to enemies in the area and slowing them.
Use skill 3 (Heavy Spin) to removes all control effects.
Tactics:
Early game (level 1-7): Akai is a versatile and potent hero in the early game.
Mid game (level 8-12): Akai’s power really starts to shine in the mid game.
Late game (level 13+): Akai can soak up massive amounts of damage while also disrupting enemy formations with his crowd control abilities.
