Who Wins

  • You lose pre-6 due to Ahri's superior range and mobility allowing her to poke freely while avoiding your Q-E combos.
  • Post-6 you become heavily favored as your R can interrupt her R dash and your sustained DPS becomes too high for her to handle in extended fights.

How to Trade

  • Your best trading pattern is landing Q then immediately following with E spam while she's poisoned, maximizing your DPS window.
  • Use W to zone her escape routes and force her to take more poison damage, but only commit to extended trades when you have mana advantage.

Wave Control

  • Focus on farming safely pre-6 and avoid unnecessary trades, using Q to last-hit from range when possible.
  • After level 6, look to freeze the wave near your tower to force Ahri into dangerous positions where you can run her down with your sustained damage.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't waste your R trying to catch Ahri's initial R dash, as good Ahri players will bait it out with the first charge.
  • Wait for her to commit multiple R charges or use it reactively when she's already in range, as mistiming your ultimate gives her a free escape window.
