Who Wins
- You win pre-6 through superior range and sustained trading with Q poke and W procs, forcing Ahri to use mana inefficiently.
- Post-6 you lose all-ins due to Ahri's R mobility allowing her to dodge your Mega Gnar engage and kite you effectively.
How to Trade
- Trade with Q poke when Ahri uses abilities on minions, then look for extended trades with W procs when she's low on mana.
- In Mega form, save your E-R combo for when Ahri has used her R charges or is positioned poorly near walls.
Wave Control
- Maintain a slow push to build rage safely, then crash and reset before transforming to avoid being caught in Mini form.
- Control the wave near your tower when in Mini form to have escape routes from Ahri's all-in potential.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't transform to Mega Gnar without proper setup or when Ahri has full R charges available.
- Avoid face-checking bushes in Mini form as Ahri's E-Q-W combo can chunk you heavily before you can respond.
