Will of the Ancients Aura affects not only your allies, but yourself.

The total stats of the item is 80 AP and 25% Spell Vamp

Getting Hextech Gunblade instead is paying 1500 extra gold for 10 less AP and the active.

Other than that, Guide looks great! I'll try it out =))).

Thank both of you for advice and criticism this build I realize is if you are fed and if you are not, which I came across last night, you get seriously shut down so I might make a second build which is cheaper or just alter my one now. BTW still looking for a banner.

You surprise me here, after looking at a lot of builds, I came across yours, and here's where I'm starting to wonder about.

This seems like a hybrid build (with u getting Hextech Gunblade. I'm not sure what you're emphasizing on this item because it doesn't suit Ahri's play style. If you wanted AP and spell vamp, then get a Will of the Ancients, because its MUCH cheaper and more beneficial for your team. I would only get this item IF my team does not have enough AD or we do not have enough CC (considering ur supposed to RUSH rylais). Overall, it's not a bad guide. Im not going to downvote or upvote, but keep in mind that there are better options. I propose you should add DFG in here as well, it's a significant item for Ahri giving mana regen, ability power, cdr, and an awesome active. This item alone can probably equal to your archangels and evil tomb, and put an item like Zhonya's Hourglass instead, which gives armor and AP and that active that will save your life once your ultimate is out. Keep up the good work, and I hope to see changes soon =)

This guide kinda expects you get very fed.
If it's not the case, then you are stuck with low AP and low run speed for a long time.

BTW if someone could please be kind enough to make a replacement banner for the introduction it would be greatly appreciated and full credits will be awarded, PM me the link to the picture and I will take the best
