How to play now

Akali joined Classic in Patch 26.16 with the 2012 energy kit: dual-scaling passive, targeted Q mark, Twilight Shroud stealth, area E, and a three-cast targeted R dash. She is not a launch-60 champion. Editor pages use Magic Penetration Marks and AP Quints. mobalytics mentions Deathfire Grasp burst; a 26.16 tracker sample cores Hextech Gunblade and Lich Bane.

Patch 26.16 status

Official 26.16 notes add Akali to Classic and document the 2012 kit. Official wiki champion pages were not created in the collected research window.

Conflicts kept open

No Marks/Quints conflict was recorded. Energy runes added in 26.16 exist for energy champions, but the collected editor pages still show Magic Penetration / AP as the current default.

Current layer

Not part of the 60 launch champions. No stored 3.15.5 site recommendation exists. Builds come from editor/tracker pages after the 26.16 add.

Quick Answer

Akali historical snapshot

Akali joins League Classic in Patch 26.16 with the 2012 energy kit. She is a current-roster addition, not a launch-60 champion.

Roster evidence boundary

Riot's official Classic Champions page confirms Akali in the 60-champion roster. The kit, values and build shown here remain version-labelled historical references, not automatically launch-verified data.

Historical kit

Akali abilities

Summaries and displayed values come from the labelled historical snapshot. Observed and launch-verified fields remain empty until direct client evidence exists.

Historical versus modern

Official 26.16 notes restore the 2012 identity: a dual-scaling passive, targeted Q mark, shroud stealth, area E, and a three-cast targeted R dash.

Akali is not part of the 60 launch champions. Official 26.16 notes add this champion to the current Classic roster. This site does not store a 3.15.5 recommendation for Akali.
