Malzahar

Extreme

Terrible. He's very hard to play against because he gets a free spellshield, has a silence, and can cc you very hard with his Ult and just kill you if you get stuck. It's winnable, but you're gonna want to be as safe as you can while laning.

Runes

Domination Tree:
Electrocute is very easy to proc on Ahri, and it essential if you want to burst people down. I see a lot of people taking Sudden Impact on Ahri, and while that is not a bad rune to take, it's much easier to get procs of Cheap Shot from your E, so you do more damage. Eyeball Collection will help you scale very hard in the middle-late game. Finally, Ultimate Hunter will make it so you can use Spirit Rush much more often. Ahri is very vulnerable when her Ult is down, so it is very good to have a short CD on it.
Sorcery Tree:
Manaflow Band is essential on Ahri, as she is a very mana-hungry mid laner in the early game, and once you hit 250 bonus mana, you will have more mana regen, so you won't have to worry about being OOM. Gathering Storm is good because it will make you snowball the longer the game lasts.

First Back

Your top priority as an AP Burst assassin is to do damage, so Lost Chapter is the first item you want to get when you back because it gives you a nice AP boost as well as good mana regen, so you won't be as mana-hungry anymore. Refillable is also a must-have for going back to lane after your first back, as it will save you a lot of money in the long run instead of having to buy potions every back, and it will just refill when you go back to base. Boots of Speed is good to get on your first back because it will make you more mobile and harder to land abilities on. Finally, it's always good to buy a Pink Ward because it will give you vision and also deny your enemy laner vision.

Full Build

Luden's Echo is an absolute must for playing Ahri. It gives you AP, mana, and CDR, and it's passive helps with doing more burst damage. The second item you're going to want to get is your full Sorcerer's Boots, as they give you MS and Magic Penetration. The third item is Lich Bane. Lich will give you more AP, more CDR, more mana, and a movement speed boost, as well as an empowered auto-attack so you do more damage. Deathcap is self-explanatory. Morellonomicon is good, especially if the enemy team has a lot of healing, plus it gives you more Magic Penetration. Finally, Void Staff is a good item to finish off your build, because it gives you AP and Magic Penetration.

Optional/Situational Items

Mejai's is good if you get fed early and don't die a lot. Banshee's Veil is good against Veigar, Malzahar, and other champions. Zhonya's is good if they have someone like a fed ADC, or their mid laner got fed and can easily burst down the team.

Ability Maxing

You will always want to max your Q first because it is the highest damaging ability in your kit with magic damage on the way out, and true damage on the way back. Max your w second and then your e, but you can always switch them, it depends on if you want more cc or more damage.

Early Game

In the early game, you don't do a lot of damage, and deaths before level 6 need to be avoided if you want to do good. Focus on CS and poking at your laner until you get Lost Chapter, Boots of Speed, and Refillable. Make sure you know where your laner is before roaming.

Mid Game

Mid game is where Ahri really starts to do damage, as by now you should have full Luden's Echo and full boots, so you will do damage. Focus on pushing your lane as much as possible before going to help other laners. You can always gank bot lane if you want easy kills. You fir in very well in team fights, and make sure you land your charm because you are very good at engaging fights.

Late Game

By now you should be almost full build, and the game is close to ending. You now have a lot of AP and can shred the other team. Look for solo kills on targets like squishy ADCs and supports, and try to kill their Jungler so they can't get objectives like drake.
