Lore
Akai was exiled to the distant land of dawn by his villagers for eating up all of the food they had stored for the winter. Here his rurprising power and size have received heavy admiration. As long as you can satisfy his endless appetite, there is no enemy that this guy cannot defeat.
Introduction
I really like this hero as a good initiator in teamfight that deals with good crowd control, gap close, and get damaged from enemy team and still can survive due to tankiness of Akai from his kit and build. I like to see how enemy team get rattle when they see me cast my ultimate. If you love tank hero with incredible teamplay, Akai is good you can pick with.
Pros
+Natural tank from his kit
+AoE crowd control
+Mobile
+Very good passive
Cons
-Ultimate can be annoying if not properly coordinated with the team.
-Item Reliant to make his passive be noticeable.
-Can be easily kited/cc’d if team don’t follow up
-Team reliant

Item Build
Crazed Reaper – +65 Physical Attack, +300Hp / +20% attack speed / Fury : Basic attacks will increase hero’s movement speed by 10% / Steamroll : Basic attacks will lower target physical armor by 7. This effect can stack up to 5 times. This consider as the core item for Akai that gives physical attack, attack speed and most importantly Hp. From his passive, we need to max out his Hp as possible that works as damage. So we must have items that has Hp boost on it.
Ice Force – +30 Physical attack / +1000 HP / Frost strike : basic attacks will have a 25% chance of lowering target movement speed by 35%. Hp + CC I really like this item that adds up my threat against enemy team. The Hp boost is decent enough to improve Akai damage.
Magic Shoes – +40 Movement speed / +10% cooldown reduction.
Oracle – +850 Hp / +36 Magic Resist / +35 Hp Regen / +%10 Cooldown Reduction / Scream : Within 4 seconds afer being attacked, teh hero will regen 4% Hp. This effect has 8 seconds cooldown time. This is must-have item in my set every time I’m playing a hero with high amount of HP. The passive gives great Hp regen that procs with your current Hp.
