Nice Guide dude :D

What about Kayn and Master Yi? Kayn is really sneaky and I had a really hard time with him. Master yi is purely invisible

Slightly off topic, but are you referencing the album by Genesis with your title? That would make the guide even better :)

Might be wrong, but IIRC it is a reference to that!

A great, In-depth guide for fellow Ahri mains! This is probably the only Ahri guide i'll use, even though i don't play her as much as i used to do :^)

This guide looks pretty solid. Been thinking of playing again after a long while, I'll be following this one.

Amazing guide, thank you! :)

Amazing Guide! Really appreciate all the hardwork and effort that has been put into this guide. Great work, visually appealing, highly detailed and in-depth, covers all apsects about Ahri, great tips. Super job on the Matchups section detailing on each possible champion and how to beat them. Keep up the amazing work!

Hi, just wondering of your thoughts of the new changes of ahri in upcoming 8.6 patch.

(83) |

The changes are great. Her losing the Q movespeed isn't that big of a deal, it was gimmicky and unnecessary anyway so I won't miss it.

I've always played Ahri as an assassin over anything else and my favorite version of her was when she had the damage amp on Charm, so it'll be cool to see it back. Even if they choose to go with a version without the damage amp, she's trading movespeed for damage which I'll take any day.

I think she'll end up being over-tuned tbh, but I won't be complaining :^)

Also, looks like it's being delayed til 8.7 or later.

I just try it a few hours ago and play some game with the buil path and its so good thx a lot for the guide <3

Detective Vapora strikes again!

I was just wondering, how do you feel about Spellbinder on Ahri? I've personally tried it a couple of times as a second item after Luden's and it didn't really feel bad, but Ahri isn't really a champion that can charge it up quickly.

Also, what are your thoughts on Gunblade? It's probably a pretty decent 2nd item, pretty similar to old DFG I'd say. What I like about the new patch is that Deathcap becomes a viable second item, too, just that it takes a literal eternity to build lol.

(83) |

Spellbinder takes the place of the old Luden's (luxury item that's never needed). I think it's better to build it later if you're going for one, maybe even as your 6th item. This also helps with the whole stacking problem Ahri has because at later stages in the game there are a lot more teamfights and spells being spammed.

New Deathcap is sweet, I quite like going Luden's into Deathcap or Deathcap 3rd now, but ONLY if I back at a time where I can grab a Rod straight up. It can be pretty awkward in cases where you have to sit on 1,000 ish gold after backing, so it's a good idea to plan ahead when you're thinking of going Deathcap.

I don't like Gunblade on Ahri, it's so expensive and the stats you get for the cost just aren't good for Ahri. The healing you get from it is quite bad because of Orb being AoE, and it also has a terrible build path cause of Cutlass + 700 combine cost. Also also, you're delaying other important items by a long time if you build Gunblade (Void, DCAP, more CDR).

The only 'good' thing Ahri gets out of Gunblade is the active, but it's still not good enough to make it an optimal item choice on her. You're much better off with any other additional damage source item that's commonly built on Ahri (Proto, Lich, Spellbinder).

(35) |

Yeah, Spellbinder really fills a weird role. I guess it's not bad per se, but it's hard to fit it in a build. As for Gunblade, it's not really the stats you buy it for. The oneshot potential it offers is especially good into squishy teams if you're playing 'burst Ahri', though it does kinda come down to preference seeing as there's multiple ways to play her.
And like you said, the biggest problem about it is its cost, you really need to be able to get Cutlass in one buy. It's essentially a more expensive Protobelt.

Yeah that's exactly it, it's hard to fit into a build.

Preference is indeed the biggest factor with Ahri. She has a ton of viable items and builds and there's never really a right or wrong way to build her (within reason).
