He will continuously deal physical damage and will also gain immunity to control for the duration of the ult. When colliding with an enemy hero, the panda pushes him away.

How to play Akai

The hero is very easy, and mastering the game for him will not be difficult even for a beginner. He can reset CC effects with his ultimate and interfere with all surrounding opponents. The character is very tenacious and mobile enough for a tank.

Of the minuses, we note that Akai does not have such strong damage, and some suppression or control effects from opponents still overcome the ult.

At the initial stage, if you are in the role of a support tank, then go to the forest to the killer or to the line to the shooter. Help them farm, hinder your opponents with your skills. If you are in the leading role of the jungle, then start with a red and blue buff, and then clear all the available forest.

When the ultimate appears, initiate fights on adjacent lanes. Use the ability and repel enemies to send them under your own tower. This will make it easy to deal with the target even at the initial stages. As an assassin, don't forget to take the turtle.

Use the following combination in mass battles:

1. Start your attack with second abilityif you are close to your opponents. This will deal area damage and slow them down. If you are far away, then it is better to start the attack with a jerk first skill.
2. Next, press ultimate and start pushing your opponents in the direction you need or pushing them against the wall so that they can’t resist your attacks in any way.
3. If chosen numbness now is the time to use it. Turn opponents to stone and deal damage without interference.
4. Use dash from first skillto reach retreating targets and auto-attack them.

You can use first skill or ultto leave the battlefield in time and survive.

In the later stages, with the right coordination of allies, you can become an impenetrable and terrible killer. Akai is not afraid of the attacks of his opponents, but on his own in the late game, due to his abilities, he inflicts relatively weak damage. Stay close to your allies and push enemies in a specific pattern to make it harder for them to attack and finish them off easily.

To learn how to play as Akai, you just need to become friends with his ultimate. The remaining skills are very simple and do not require high skill.
