The Akkhans Set Dungeon is the only Set Dungeon where my build is theorycrafted but considering I used it way back in Season 1, I'd say it is probably way better than the video I've showcased which uses Thorns and doesn't have Frydehr's Wrath used. There are probably many different builds you could use to complete this, but the maptile is fairly large so I definitely recommend a mobility setup using Swiftmount and/or Norvald's Fervor (2 Set Weapon/Shield).

So one main tip: It seems like the Morlu Legionnaires can be re-hit by a Condemn (if you leave them to regain their health) and still count towards the objective. It felt like this only reliably occurred when I was in Steed Charge horse form though, so if someone can clarify this further that would be great. There are only roughly 200 enemies on the entire map, so by making use of this mechanic it can really help achieve the Mastery. You can use Steed Charge, Laws of Hope - Wings of Angels, Illusory Boots or Iron Skin - Flash to position yourself better for Condemns.

Apart from this, you want to make sure you have at least 50% cooldown reduction on your Details - Offense - Cooldown Reduction tab, to ensure you have permanent Akarat's Champion activated.
