Dual Wield Bunny Blader Build aka Akali Build.

Hey Guys, It's me Cyph back with another build guide.

Today I will be discussing about the Bunny Blade Build or Akali Build(Most LoL Players will know)

To Start off, Here's a vid of it in action against Scrader



So here's the breakdown:

The Goal of this build is to deal the most amount of damage in a short amount of time, continuously and simultaneously while micro managing your position and the enemies' position. Using minimal interrupts and more off controlling and manipulating your enemy into a position that gives you the upper hand. Spinning Slash is your main DPS Skill for this build because of its high flexibility in combos, low mp cost, and multiple offensive combo tags that can be used on it like Smite or Swift.


This Build requires high mastery of DW's Skill and In Game Mechanics:

• Like Auto Attack Cancelling: By Skill and By Movement
  • Auto Attack Cancelling, when mastered, gives you a higher edge in battles against every other DW. This skill takes time to master, even I myself haven't fully mastered this even though I've been maining DWs since its release back in 2015.
  • Auto Attack Cancelling (idk if it's a bug) is when you cancel your auto attack animation with a skill or by moving away. You get full proration and AMPR from it even if you only manage to do 2 hits instead of the usual 5 or 6 hit animation.
  • DWs have long attack animations but with it comes two good things, 1. High Auto Attack Damage and 2. Increased AMPR. With these two things in mind we can have a better understanding why Auto Attack Cancelling has it's Pros and Cons:
    • Pros:
      • You regen MP from auto attacks in a shorter amount of time.
      • Prorate more in a shorter amount of time.
      • Spam combos faster with autos in between for proration in a shorter amount of time, resulting in more Damage Uptime and DPS
      • You can kite and avoid redzones more often than possible.
    • Cons:
      • You lose the chance to deal high amounts of damage from your auto attacks.
  • There are 2 types of Auto Attack Cancellation:
    • By Skill
    • By Moving
• Kiting
  • The ability to kite is a valuable ability. Because as you spam your combos, you aggro the boss. Keeping aggro is one of a DWs best weapon. Why? Because you can control, manipulate and position your target where ever and when ever you want. Which is one of the best playstyles of a DW with its huge amount of skills that Flinch, Tumble, Chase, Knockback and even Ignore enemy damage.
• Combo Formation
  • A combo can spell the difference between victory or defeat. A good combo can ensure you a victory (not rank wise). Different bosses, move and attack in different ways. You clearly can't use the same combo for the same boss over and over again. Why? because effectivity of a combo matters. You can't continuously use a nuke combo on a high evade target, or use a long combo against a boss that has too many interruptive AOEs, or use a combo that has too many interruptive skills against a boss that is too reactive.
  • You gotta have the ability to create a combo to deal with different types of bosses.
• Timing
  • A one second delay can mean life or death, and Timing is important. Also, Timing is key in auto attack cancelling.

Now to the Essentials, Builds:
This build synergizes well with the DW AMPR Build
You can check out my guide on MY AMPR build, HERE or follow my old one HERE

But here's the breakdown of it:
Equipment:
Weapons and Armor, CEEE7 or any other stats as long as it enhances your crit and especially crit rate.
Add is any Crit Enhancer or AMPR Enhancer
Ring is either you can choose from a Slotted Misanga(expensive), a Warrior Bangle for more AMPR, or Dex Talisman for more MP

Xtals:

Damage Oriented

• Ganglef/PGolem/BKOD/MS
• Roga/MS
• Warmonger/MS/Yelb
• SG/MS

Survivability:

• Zega/PG
• Roga/Arco
• Warmonger/MS/Yelb
• SG/MS/Viscum

AMPR:

• Zega/Sroar/MW/Moon Light
• Jade/Sroar/MW
• Sroar/MW/Pumpking
• SG/Eerie/Sroar/Viscum

​

Skills.

• Core Skills:
  • Trigger Slash Level 10
    • Motion Speed Booster, Tons of Damage.
  • Shadow Step Level 10
    • 200mp Usage, can be spammed to dodge and chase, my all time favorite skill.
  • Spinning Slash Level 10
    • OP Total Damage, can be used as a filler or the main damage skill in a combo. Used right, can do a shit ton of damage and can compare to a prorated Phantom Slash in with in the same MP Cost range without using Impact or a save tag.

​

• Optional DPS Skills (Depends on your playstyle):
  • Phantom Slash(not so Optional, can be you nuke)
    • If you're into nuking, this is a good skill for you to use, more situational than Optional, deals high amounts of damage in a short amount of time but takes time to setup.
  • Twin Slash
    • Slow in Animation, but high damage output, not that reliable if you dont crit much because your Astute and Twin Slash damage is equal when it doesnt crit.
  • Charging Slash.
    • This Skill deals high damage but takes so much time to do and recover from, coz the purpose of this build is to be sticky and evasive as much as possible. With the right timing, you dont have to use Charging Slash.

Other Skills (Self Explanatory)

• Crit Up til 10
• HP/MP Boost
• Fighter's High/Sober Analysis
• Astute 10

​

Stats:
Dex > Agi/STR > STR/Agi

Dex is your main source of Accuracy and ATK. Enough Said.

as 2nd stat
AGI
Means you prioritize survivability more than damage, gaining ASPD and Dodge to proc your Evasion more.

STR
You prioritize more damage and build glass cannon as much as possible. Your tanking capabilities are lower compare to getting AGI. But you rely more on killing it faster than letting it kill you faster.


Roles:

• Your main role in this build is to either be a tank, a breaker, or a proraer (some love for all them mages out there).
• The amount of combos you spam in a short amount of time is enough to get you aggro, using some other high mp cost skills to maintain aggro is essential.
• Your combo that can deal 24+ hits in a short amount of time can guarantee you breaker. Just make sure to be as sticky as possible to get every bit of hit from the Spinning Slash DPS.
• Prorater, is from your auto attacks and from the amount of physical damage hits you do to the target also is a benefit to everyone in your pt.

Combos:
The main Combos I use in the video above was

• Spinning Slash > Astute > Shadow Step > Trigger Slash (All cons)
  • A 100mp Motion Speed boosted DPS machine that literally generates a water fall of damage numbers in a short amount of time.

• Astute > Spinning Slash Smite > Shadow Step Cons
  • Astute dealing high damage at the start and increasing Crit Rate to Setup a Smite Spinning Slash that can reach up 19k to 21k damage in total including ticks then Shadow Step to follow up on enemies knocked back by Spinning Slash and proceed to auto attack after, gaining immediate proration and a quick mp regen.

Some Combos I use:

• Astute > Spinning Slash Swift > Shadow Step Save > Trigger Slash Swift
  • A double Swift combo that is so Motion Speed Boosted that you'll go dizzy just trying to keep up on autoing, and tracking where you are.

• Astute > Spinning Slash Swift > Phantom Slash Smite > Shadow Step Cons (> Trigger Slash Cons Optional)
  • This was the main DPS combo i used during my SOLO BKOD vid.
  • Which you can check out here

• It's essentially one of the best combos i came up with.
• You have a high damage Crit Booster.
• A Speedy High Damage Multi Hit Blinding Skill that pushes enemies away.
• A High Damage Multi Hit skill that gives you invulnerability.
• An almost instantaneous Chaser.

​

Aside from the High MP Cost. Prorated, deals some of the highest damage in total i can get.

and that is it...

I'll update this guide every once in a while after a few more level caps. Right now, I am concentrating again on Utility such as MP and HP.

Bye guys <3

 

Uhm, just a comment about one of ur combo.

Spinning Slash > Astute
> Shadow Step > Trigger
Slash (All cons)

If u use Spinning Slash u will knockback the Boss. Then u will need to walk closer to continue the combo.

How about this combo its also a 100MP motion speed booster & utilize all the skills in the combo?

Spinning Slash>Shadow Step(Save)>Twin Slash(Smite)>Trigger Slash (Cons)

I use this combo, if the boss do a dash/slide aoe & got far away on me. Spin can be activated in a long distance. After spin I can repostion on his back quickly coz of shadow. Then shadow gives high crit rate to twin. And, twin dmage will be boosted if it crits right.

I dont want to intervene on ur build just saying my small ideas about it.

 

I've tried and its too slow. although viable, the damage isnt that good for my liking. If i would put a save tag just to use Twin Slash, I'd rather use Astute for the Damage.

 

And theres also a reason why i allow it to knock back targets.
there are bosses who cancel redzones when knocked back, and some dont. Thus allowing them to get knocked back allows me to move away and continue my combo when I move closer. Yes a good follow up is good. But it also means putting you in danger of a redzone aoe.

 

I Agree, I just use it if the boss moves repeatedly and as u already said timing so I wont get to a red zone

 

And, I forget to say that Im aware of the consequence of a good follow up skills. If I dont had the time to run/avoid on that redzone aoe. I will just use what I learned from u. Use a cross parry skill/combo to tumble/reduce the damage

 

mastah -/\- DW idol

 

not all redzones can be Cross Parry'd Im currently listing all the redzones that i have come upon that is considered as physical and can be blocked by cross parry

 

Oh really. If thats the case. The best way to avoid is to be careful & knew the right timing to use my combos. Thanks for the info.

 

Thnks fr the update

 

YAY! New combos to try!
I have a small newbie-ish question to ask...how many skill points do you add to shadow steps and phantom slash?
I finally reached lvl 90 ヽ(*・ω・)ﾉ and I don't want to waste skill points /-\

 

I maxed out phantom slash :3 and shadow step, i dont rely much on save tag and impact so i max then out because phantom deals higher damage and shadow steps ampr is higher and mp cost is lowered

 

Ah! Ok ok \^•^\ I'll add the rest to those then. Thank you very much!

 

Whats that combo using shadowstep as an opening

 

i didnt use any combo with shadow step as an opener. after shadow step, you can cancel the auto attack it does so you can use a skill immediately.

 

Can i ask what equipment and xtals u used in the vid.

 

Does adding VIT will increase hp? (Im using dw) ?. Plz rep me

 

yes, vit adds HP regardless of weapon you use

 

@Alzarith

 

@Cypherian Can you suggest me a better combo with lv70 tier 2 skills without the phantom slash & shadow step
