Ahri is a Burst Mage that deals magic (AP) damage and brings charm. Their hard CC is tenacity-reducible, so Mercury's Treads and tenacity items shorten their lockdown. Below is Ahri's highest-win-rate build from high-elo games; open the counter-build tool to tune it against your specific enemy team.
ABILITIES
PassiveEssence Theft
After killing 9 minions or monsters, Ahri heals. After taking down an enemy champion, Ahri heals for a greater amount.
QOrb of Deception
Ahri sends out and pulls back her orb, dealing magic damage on the way out and true damage on the way back.
WFox-Fire
Ahri gains a brief burst of Move Speed and releases three fox-fires, that lock onto and attack nearby enemies.
ECharm
Ahri blows a kiss that damages and charms an enemy it encounters, instantly stopping movement abilities and causing them to walk harmlessly towards her.
RSpirit Rush
Ahri dashes forward and fires essence bolts, damaging nearby enemies. Spirit Rush can be cast up to three times before going on cooldown, and gains additional recasts when taking down enemy champions.
COMBAT PROFILE
PLAYING ASAhri
- Use Charm to set up your combos, it will make landing Orb of Deception and Fox-Fire dramatically easier.
- Initiate team fights using Charm, and chase down stragglers with Spirit Rush.
- Spirit Rush enables Ahri's abilities, it opens up paths for Charm, helps double hitting with Orb of Deception, and closes to make use of Fox-Fire.
PLAYING AGAINSTAhri
- Ahri's survivability is dramatically reduced when her Ultimate, Spirit Rush, is down.
- Stay behind minions to make Charm difficult to land, this will reduce Ahri's damage potential significantly.
