Mana Regen runes? No.

Items? Good

Item order? Not so good.

I give it a B-

Nice guide :D

Mmm, thanks I'm looking into tweaking the build, now that being said, I'd also like to look into getting Rabadon's first then WOT next. Thanks guys. Zhonya's seems off place too, and I just noticed I don't use the active as much, I might just use Rylai's instead. Thanks for the continued support guys.

Revolver before Deathcap, WotA after. That's the traditional way to build an AP carry. Since Ahri has her own spellvamp in her passive, you probably don't need to upgrade the revolver until you finish deathcap.

I heavily disagree with using Zhonya's on this champ overall. You do make a point in that it gives you a nice little armor buff, but to me its active is counter-productive to her play style. I've been experimenting with her myself and find that I typically stay towards the "back of the pack" in team fights, or off to the side where I can come in and burst down a champ. This usually entails entering the fight with my ultimate, getting my combo off, and dashing back out. In other cases I try and pull someone out of a fight or from under a turret with charm, burst them, and use my ult to finish the kill and get away.

The point that in both of these cases, that my ult is used to leave a fight from which I was not going to be heavily involved. In these situations, sticking around long enough to get hit warranting using Zhonya's active becomes detrimental to my play. To paraphrase, I feel as though my survival is 100% dependent on my ultimate. Obviously though everyone's is different, such as this case. So I would recommend instead taking it out of the main build and putting it as a "maybe" option later in the guide, to support the "assassin" way of playing her.

Also of note is the early WotA, I disagree with this simply because I dislike spell vamp early-mid game. I can agree with hextech revolver early to aide with it's spellvamp, combined with her passive I feel as though it will give her very nice stability. (In fact, I might start fitting this into my builds.) Basically, just hold off on WotA in favor of other items, but get revolver for stability.

All this said I agree with your skill order; when I first starting playing her I maxed W before E because I felt it would provide additional damage. I then tried maxing E second and found this to be much more beneficial because of the increased CC duration around mid game.

thanks, I dislike maxing Fox-Fire because it has a limit on the maximum damage and it's only the best when it's at level 5.

good build overall but i prefer maxing out fox fire second, not charm. the way i use it, cast Fox fire then charge in with R, then charm, and finally Q, and R twice to finish him off works great.

but again its just my way of playing her

Note; Build now changed a bit after some realization. Check it out !

Thanks, I'll look into my build and change it up a bit. I appreciate all of your feedback.

It's good on Kennen.

You definitely do need some magic pen though. Personally I'd replace Morello's Evil Tome with Void Staff and use masteries, blue buff and Elixir of Brilliance. That's what I do with most mages.

But I won't comment further because I haven't even played Ahri yet.

Although I dont really agree with the item order, I can tell u worked hard on it. GJ.
Personally, I think that abysall scepter is real good on her, and instead of that banshees, it should be replaced with that instead. Also, I dont really think that rushing a WoTA is good on anyone.

Oh, not jhoijhoi's alliteration.....

It's a plague!
