Shards

Akali is very strong when it comes down to short trades since she can quickly use her Shroud to disengage, so having Electrocute is perfect.

Keep a constant eye on your energy levels and avoid trading unless you have a lot of energy to spare.
In team fights, look to assassinate the squishiest member of the enemies team. Play around and inside your Shroud W to stay alive for longer.
Be prepared to sacrifice some CS for XP and health. If you’re against a ranged champion, you need to remain healthy at all times otherwise you’ll not be able to trade with them. Stand back when you’re not looking to last hit or trade.

Kassadin: You have no real way of beating Kassadin in the early game and he will outscale you. Try to roam and end the game quick.
LeBlanc: Her E is the main thing in this matchup, she can counter Akali's shroud if she lands the E since Akali will be visible.
Annie: Rushing Mercury's Treads can be very good, look out for her stun when she has it up and trade when she doesn't.

Azir: Solder's don't do merely enough damage to kill you early game and you just win the trades hard, even if he ults you can ult away.
Xerath: Xerath needs time to scale properly, but you will have him killed before he gets to that point.
Orianna: Her poke in the early game can be oppressive but the second you get level 6 she is dead.

Early Game: In the early game with Akali, focus on farming safely and poking your opponent with your Q. Look for opportunities to engage and secure kills using your shroud for cover and your E and passive for burst damage.
Mid Game: During the mid game, roam to other lanes and try to snowball your advantage. Participate in skirmishes and help secure objectives. In team fights, assassinate the enemy carries and use your shroud to create chaos and confusion.
Late Game: In the late game, continue to focus on eliminating key targets and using your mobility to outmaneuver opponents. Stay vigilant about positioning, as getting caught can be detrimental, and use your shroud for escapes and crowd control.
