Akai Mobile Legends Build

Akai is tank hero specializing in strong counterattack and control. He has a strong early game that you should take advantage of combined with his high mobility. He is very tanky too because of his passive but is quite difficult to learn specially when using his Ultimate.

Disclaimer: I’m just a casual gamer and not a pro. I just want to share with you things that works very well for me when playing this hero.

Skills

Passive / Tai Chi: After using a skill, Akai will gain a shield that absorbs up to 6% of his max HP. Last 2 seconds. The effect activates every 2.5 seconds.

Skill 1 / Thousand Pounder: Akai jumps towards a designated location. Upon landing, he deals physical damage to enemy units, and slows them by 30% for 2 seconds. When Akai deals damage to enemies marked with Blender, they will get stunned for extra 1 second.

Skill 2 / Blender: Akai fires a frog-shaped wave in the designated direction. The wave explodes upon hitting enemies or reaching its max travel distance, dealing physical damage to enemies and marking them for 5 seconds. Akai’s basic attack on marked targets deals extra 5% physical damage of Akai’s max HP.

Skill 3 / Hurricane Dance: Akai spins like a tornado for 3.5 seconds and knocks back the surrounding enemies, dealing physical damage. Using this skill removes all debuffs from Akai immediately. He also becomes immune to slowing effect in the duration and increases 30 movement speed.
