How to play akali in early game tips

It depends on your lane matchup. If you have a weak early game/tough matchup, id advise that you watch your energy consumption, energy usage can be a nightmare into an abusive ranged matchup early. Dont over extend. Play around your shroud. I like to use it to help if there is a stacked wave since most time they are shoving. (That also depends on your jungler and whether they will play for your lane/are an early ganker with cc).
