Who Wins

  • You lose pre-6 due to Ahri's range advantage and your limited gap closing options outside of flash.
  • Post-6 you become heavily favored as your R allows you to bypass her E and deliver your full combo reliably.

How to Trade

  • Your best trading pattern involves using W for poke when she steps up, then looking for E-Q-AA combos when the wave is in favorable positions.
  • Save your E for actual all-ins rather than poke trades since the cooldown is significant early.

Wave Control

  • You want to keep the wave in the center or slightly pushed toward her to enable E wall hops for all-ins and roams.
  • Avoid hard shoving as it gives her free poke and removes your ability to chase her down the lane.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't waste your W on minions for waveclear as it's your primary poke tool and you need the mana for trades.
  • Using E aggressively without your R or ignite available will likely result in failed trades since she can E away and kite you.
