Akali's real age

DaisyLazy·12/2/2018, 1:49:06 PM·35 votes·23,068 views

Hey, I'm here to check if I got everything right, since years I always assumed Akali was 22 years old, there wasn't many info about it other than pieces of lores together + the fact that we all knew she was older than 14 when she first joined kinkou.

Anyways with all the new K/DA stuff, it gave us a pretty clear date for her, and I would like to know why it is said in her new trivia she's around 19 years old, when in K/DA it even says her Chinese Zodiac sign is an Ox.

These are the latest Ox years -> Dates / Start / End 1985 Feb.20,1985 Feb.8,1986 1997 Feb.7,1997 Jan.27,1998 2009 Jan.26,2009 Feb.13,2010

Meaning she had to be born in exactly one of those years, 1985 would make her 33, so that one isn't likely and neither would it be 2009 making her with only 9 years, so it's guaranteed it's 1997, as that's the only Ox year, which makes her with 21 years old.

I honestly loved what they did to the K/DA member's age since they focused it all in small details in the champions before they were "K/DA" putting Akali as the youngest since she's "21" (even though I thought she was 22) Kai'sa is 30yo, Ahri is 30-45 vastayan years (don't know exactly, could look more into it but honestly I don't care about Ahri as much as I care about Akali) and Evelynn being the oldest with 400+ years old, which makes it obvious why is Akali the youngest member.

Another detail that I loved was the fact that Akali was released in 2010-05-11 , which means 11th May, and gave herself the Taurus Zodiac sign because of that.

So with all these combined, which are official info given, it's safe to say Akali was born in 11th May of 1997, making her 21 years old, so my question is, why in the trivia it says 19? Or is it just an assuptions during some time such as... when she left the kinkou order or something? Makes no sense to me whoever said these.

Assuming there’s nothing funky that would cause an age discrepancy between canon and KDA, I assume 19 was when she first became the Rogue Assassin and has been doing it for a little, and like what Aurothic said I’d say she actually is 21 since its around 19

K/DA Akali is a separate universe so ages may vary from canon. Ahri is very probably older in canon than she is in K/DA, and well... Evelynn is Evelynn.

So yeah, Akali is 19 in the canon universe, but 21 in K/DA.

Judging by all her info, she's indeed 21, and her trivia says "she's around 19" and not exactly pointing out she's 19, since 21 is indeed around 19, makes sense.

When they change the lore each week and in the end you don't know whether Lux is legal.

Relatable.

You're surmising that the league of legends time era is modern day. League feels more like medieval times than modern day times. Assassins, mages, star dragons, druids, arena fighting.

Riot's said before that K/DA ages and their canon ages aren't the same.

Kai'Sa 30? Where did you see that?

I've been trying to get this through peoples heads for so long, she's around the same age as Ezreal, who is about a year older than Lux, below that you have Ekko who is biologically around Lux, but chronologically a year or two younger, followed by Taliyah.

Akali officially joined the Kinkou at age 14, this that was her age pre rework, her rework takes place after a timeskip of a 'few' years, which means three or four years of official training(she was training with Kennen before her official joining), and she has left the Kinkou.

14 + 3/4 = 17/18 was when she left.

"She left the Kinkou Order between her 17th and 19th year"

You mean 18?
