The magic damage that Akali deals remains relevant in the late game. Look for opportunities to initiate or counter-initiate. Meanwhile, Zoe deals primarily magic damage (74.03%), additional magic resistance may be required.
An important advantage of Akali is higher farming statistics (ranked 55th among role champions) (versus 56th for Zoe), which provides a stable gold advantage in extended games and allows faster access to key items. Meanwhile, their higher KDA (2.6 versus 2.3) suggests they participate more effectively in team fights.
In this difficult confrontation, it is critically important for the Akali player to avoid attempts to force trades and all-ins with the Zoe player, as the matchup requires a patient and calculated approach. Extended trades without clear tactical advantage often lead to unfavorable consequences, and ignoring opportunities to receive team support can be a fatal mistake for game progression.
