Guide to Synergizing Nidalee and Akshan

Use brush to your advantage! Moving in and out of brush can heavily alter your effectiveness in battle.

Start team fights by harassing with your Javelin Toss, and then switch to cougar form to chase down Hunted targets.

Advice to Understand How Akshan Will Play

Raising an eyebrow in the face of danger, Akshan fights evil with dashing charisma, righteous vengeance, and a conspicuous lack of shirts. He is highly skilled in the art of stealth combat, able to evade the eyes of his enemies and reappear when they least expect him. With a keen sense of justice and a legendary death-reversing weapon, he rights the wrongs of Runeterra's many scoundrels while living by his own moral code: “Don't be an ass.”

This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing with Akshan.

Is Nidalee better when played alongside Akshan?

There is no top champion pairing for Nidalee that will always be her best synergy. Yet, Akshan is a not very good ally for Nidalee. By locking into the same team as Nidalee, they lowers their win rate by -1.5% to 43.3%. This proves that there is a harmful strategic relationship between Nidalee and Akshan that results in them performing not as well together than without each other.

Akshan has a much lower diffuclty than Nidalee. That means you don't need to be careful when arranging Akshan allies to play with, as they will need a much lower level of skill to be able to play well with you.

Working cooperatively, you should observe an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to deal magical damage. Combined, these two are able to dish out a surprising amount of magic type damage.

Conversely, by grouping Nidalee and Akshan together, you may not be giving your other allies enough tankyness. Make sure to include other champs on your team that nullifies this gap in their potential.

Regardless of your Akshan ally's skill level, you need to focus on maximizing your gold income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you should do well anyway.
