How to Play This Matchup
Power Curve
Cassiopeia is strongest late game while Akali peaks mid game. Play around your power window.
MR Priority
Both deal magic damage. An early Null-Magic Mantle or Mercury's Treads can swing the lane. Hexdrinker is also an option for AD champs.
Sustained vs Burst
Akali wants to combo and disengage. Cassiopeia wins extended trades. Don't let Akali get a clean rotation  force long fights where sustain wins.
Range Advantage
Cassiopeia has range advantage. Akali should look for short trades when Cassiopeia uses abilities on the wave. Freeze near your tower and wait for jungle help or an all-in window.
Exploit Akali's Weakness
Akali's main weakness: Hard CC, true sight, early poke. Play around this to maximize your advantage.
Cassiopeia Win Condition
E spam DPS, R stun if facing, no boots = more AP
Akali Win Condition
Assassinate backline, shroud outplays in teamfights
