Who Wins
- You struggle pre-6 due to limited mobility and vulnerability to Ahri's poke and all-in potential.
- Post-6 you become the dominant laner with R providing guaranteed kill pressure and shutting down her mobility.
How to Trade
- Your trading pattern revolves around landing E on Ahri when her mobility spells are down, then following with W for extended damage.
- Use Q for wave clear and occasional poke, but focus on farming safely until level 6.
Wave Control
- You should focus on farming safely and maintaining wave control through Q clear while avoiding extended trades.
- After level 6, you can freeze waves near your tower to force Ahri into R range for all-ins.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste your passive shield on minion damage early game as it leaves you vulnerable to Ahri's burst combos.
- Avoid using R without proper setup or jungle assistance, as good Ahri players will position to make your suppress less effective.
