Eclipse could double as a powerful item with both offensive (due to its ability proc) and defensive (thanks to the shield and lifesteal) components that can assist you. + While most conventional builds will focus on crit, there are a few circumstances where you can use Lethality Mythics if the enemy team lacks a bulky frontline or has powerful burst potential against you. Under most circumstances, you should go for Noonquiver-type Mythics, with Galeforce being a potent one for the extra mobility and burst damage that synergizes with your kit + Even though Akshan isn’t made to be played in the bottom lane like most marksmen, his item builds share many similarities to them. Duelling power for 1v1s in sidelines, with Lethality’s strength versus squishy targets could make Akshan a very scary snowball threat, especially if you can stay ahead of defensive itemisation with Serpent’s Fang and Collector. + As a last note, there’s a world where Eclipse is a strong choice on Akshan. + As with other ADCs, second item is somewhat variable - Phantom Dancer, Collector, Lord Dominik’s Regards are all worthy considerations, as is the ever-present Infinity Edge. Galeforce is another option, with an additional dash giving even more tools to reposition, and the move speed from the Mythic Passive giving more dangerous roams and sidelaning, but it may well also be overkill. Kraken Slayer is surte to be a phenomenal Mythic Item for the synergy on third hit, but Immortal Shieldbow gives Akshan more survivability in tough lanes, and more staying power, which could be critical for getting those resurrects off for allies. + Akshan’s build shouldn’t be anything revolutionary: whatever Lucian or other crit ADC’s are building in solo lanes, Akshan is likely following. Bone Plating provides the most early game survivability for Akshan against all-ins and extended trades. After taking damage from an enemy champion, the next 3 spells or attacks you receive from them deal 30-60 less damage. If you are solo lane then this is a good choice for you. Shielding in Akshan's kit makes the bonus damage from Shield Bash a viable Akshan rune option. The empowered attack lasts up to 2 seconds after the shield expires. Whenever you gain a shield, your next basic attack against a champion deals 5-30 (based on level) (+ 1.5% bonus health) (+ 8.5% shield amount) bonus Adaptive damage.
This 14% heal combined with Taste of Blood and your life steal could become a massive heal on you once you auto attack. What is interesting about is that it works with you It starts off with 1.5% of the damage dealt then increases by 2.5% every takedown you get, maxing out at 14%. With Akshan We want to get all the sustain we can in order to scale into late game. It gives a flat healing that scales off Attack Damage and has a short cooldown of 20 seconds. Taste of Blood This one is perfect for Akshan auto attack poke. Attack speed, damage, armor help Akshan farm creep and trade well in the early game.
