Who Wins
- You lose early trades levels 1-3 due to Ahri's superior range and poke with Q, making it difficult to land your Q sweetspots consistently.
- At level 6, you gain a significant advantage as your R provides sustain and gap-closing potential that Ahri's R cannot match in extended fights.
How to Trade
- Your optimal trading pattern involves using E to guarantee Q1 sweetspot hits, then chaining into Q2 and Q3 while weaving in auto attacks between casts.
- You must commit to extended trades since Ahri wins short poke exchanges, so look for opportunities when her abilities are on cooldown.
Wave Control
- You should focus on slow pushing waves to build minion advantages before attempting trades, as Ahri's waveclear with Q makes it difficult to freeze effectively.
- Push for level advantages and use your superior sustain with passive to maintain lane presence after unfavorable trades.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Avoid taking repeated poke without trading back, as Ahri's Q spam will whittle you down and force you out of lane despite your sustain.
- Don't waste your E defensively to escape her E charm unless absolutely necessary, since you need it to guarantee Q hits in your trading windows.
