Who Wins
- You lose pre-6 to consistent poke and range disadvantage, but have kill pressure at level 2-3 if you land E and have minions for Q resets.
- Post-6 your R gives you reliable engage potential, but you must still respect Ahri's R mobility and burst damage in extended fights.
How to Trade
- Your best trading pattern involves setting up minion waves for Q resets, then engaging with E-Q combo when Ahri uses abilities on minions or mispositions.
- Always look to extend trades with passive stacks and W damage reduction rather than taking short poke exchanges.
Wave Control
- You need to manipulate minion waves to create Q reset opportunities while avoiding being frozen on.
- Push for early levels when possible, but be prepared to give up CS if the wave state doesn't favor your all-in potential.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste E on minions or use it predictably when Ahri has her mobility spells available, as missing your primary engage tool leaves you vulnerable to free poke.
- Never commit to all-ins without proper minion setup for Q resets, as you'll often fall short of lethal damage and be left overextended.
