Who Wins
- You lose early trades levels 1-3 due to Ahri's superior poke and mana sustain with Q healing.
- At level 6, you gain kill pressure with your ultimate's gap-closing potential, but Ahri's charm can still shut down your all-ins if she plays correctly.
How to Trade
- You want to trade when your passive is up and energy is high, using Q to proc passive then backing off immediately.
- Avoid extended trades without your shroud available, as Ahri will out-damage you with her full combo and sustain back up.
Wave Control
- You should focus on shoving waves quickly with Q to roam or recall, as you cannot match Ahri's waveclear or poke in lane.
- Try to freeze near your tower when possible to set up ganks, since Ahri lacks easy escape tools besides her ultimate.
Mistakes to Avoid
- You must avoid using your shroud defensively too early, as Ahri can simply wait it out and re-engage when it expires.
- Never all-in without tracking her charm cooldown, as landing it during your ultimate dash will result in your death.
