Who Wins
- You lose early levels 1-3 due to Ahri's superior poke and range advantage with Q and auto attacks.
- At level 6, you gain kill pressure if you can dodge her charm, but she still has the advantage with her ultimate's safety and burst potential.
How to Trade
- Your best trading pattern is to wait for Ahri to waste her charm, then engage with E-W-Q combo and immediately disengage.
- Never trade when her charm is available as it guarantees her full combo and puts you at severe disadvantage.
Wave Control
- You should focus on shoving waves quickly with Q bounces and W to create roaming opportunities.
- Avoid extended laning phases where Ahri can poke you down repeatedly and deny your all-in potential.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never engage when Ahri has her charm available, as it will result in you taking her full combo while being unable to retaliate.
- Don't stay in lane with low health as her ultimate gives her easy dive potential with jungle assistance.
