Intro

MY DRAWING XD (was on my hw so dont ask wat that circle is lol)

In all honesty, runes are mainly just for early game. Everyone plays differently at the beginning but for the sake of the guide I gotta do this.....
More AP the better since
Ahri is a burst ap
Going strait AP may seem good but if the opposing team starts to build against you, even the slightest magic penetration is gonna help so it doesn't hurt and besides it makes a difference even early game.
More AP the better.
Same comment as earlier for magic penetration.
If not the ones mentioned above then like mentioned earlier, its mainly what you prefer, this is just what I prefer

Wondering why nothing in the defensive masteries? Simple.
Ahri is squishy to begin with. The slightest MR and ARMOR will help BUT not enough in my perspective. (Doesn't mean you can't use the defensive tree)

Offensive Tree
This is a very standard choice for a bursty mage like
Ahri. Really the only thing that might be different between people is that others will use
Summoner's Wrath
over
Spellsword
This is a very standard choice for a bursty mage like



Utility Tree
Using
Greed
over
Runic Affinity
is stupidly weird I know. BUT I have reasons for that. Depending on who is jungling most chances are that you will get blue like only 2-3 times. Also AP build is expensive, i would rather get greed over runic affinity just to get that extra gold than have blue last a bit longer. Also I can run
Athene's Unholy Grail instead because technically it can replace blue buff much better. Espically on
Ahri because, you do not lane or stay out there long because you are either just getting killed or pwning, in other words you will consume mana like that for just one engage
Using




Pro -great mobility ![]() - ![]() -great ganker -ulti is everything -awesome cute kitsune XD |
Cons
-ULTI IS EVERYTHING -squishy through entire game (unless you building hell of hp for some weird reason) -hard to get used to |

the main ones that i use it
Others
why teleport over ignite? its not bad its just that when using ahri...more than half the time you are going use
Spirit Rush over
Flash but yeah grab it if you want because you can use it like ur ulti
....ehhh this is just really up to u...personally i dont like it on ahri cause either way it gets countered by slow very easy since alot of items gives slow and almost everyone has a slow or some kind of cc. so would rather prefer flash.
depends on who you're up against...but its not all that bad it gets rid of cc
pretty good during laning phase but not really helpful when laning is over
doesnt hurt could help you every now and then
im not gonna say not to use it but this one is just on you cause some people prefer it. i just dont on ahri because she isnt gonna be really close ranged
kinda acts like a
Clarity but for hp so kinda the same...useful during laning phase but not much after


Others











If you scroll up to see the skill sequence, you will notice that I do not max 1 ability as fast as possible. Reason behind that is because if you do, the other will be not be so effective. Example: if you max
Orb of Deception to lvl 5 as fast as you can,
Fox-Fire, at level 1, cant do as much dmg when
Orb of Deception is down. Majority of the time I will always level up
Orb of Deception to level 3 then max out
Fox-Fire. Why max out
Fox-Fire first? As
Ahri you will go close to someone eventually when u diving after them and u need the constant dmg so NEVER underestimate the damage on this move.
Orb of Deception already does huge dmg at level 3 so it best not to depend too much on one move. So for the skill sequence I cant really give you one since my goes differently.
This is why Teemo never goes mid lol

Starting Items
Starting with potions are always recommended when beginning a game because you can lane longer. With boots you can move around faster and it is part of the build so it doesn't hurt. As stated earlier, early game is different to everyone. Some people will start with
Doran's Ring but I personally don't like Doran items so this is really the only other way.

Mid Game Items
By the time you enter mid game, you should have
Sorcerer's Shoes and almost have or finish
Athene's Unholy Grail.
Sorcerer's Shoes give you magic penetration and better movement.
Athene's Unholy Grail gives
Ahri many things that is helpful. It gives cooldown reduction, MR, MAJOR MANA REGEN, and AP. By the mid way through mid game, you should finish your deathcap
d
By the time you enter mid game, you should have





Late Game
this is where situational items come in. EXPLAINED DOWN BELOW.

anything else is pretty much what u prefer
mirror matchup this is all about who has better skills at playing ahri. this is quite rare matchup to come by since only about 10% of all games play ahri in it. but if you do happen to play against one play smart. this match up is about harass and skill shots. learn to last second dodge because this
Charm will be flying everywhere. if you happen fire
Charm first, MOVE OUT OF THE WAY INSTANTLY because the fact that u can fire it towards her means that she can also fire
Charm at you. same applies to
Orb of Deception
this match is alright but can be pretty hard once it becomes late because akali is devastating during late game. during laning phase u pretty much have the advantage because she depends alot on her
Shadow Dance. she does alot of ganks so do call mia to help teammates because she is also a good ganker. if she uses twilight shroud, u should be cautious because she did put it down for a reason so be ready to
Charm at anytime. But do play smart and auto atk her if u can cause she is a melee during early game
max
Orb of Deception
Can be a really tough matchup since she has a stun for her passive that she can easily keep using. play extremely passively cause she can out trade u. dont ever engage her unless u land a
Charm or if know that her stun is down and not closely ready to come back up. if u do land it, do your combo quick unless u know that her passive charge is at least 1 or none at all. but if the annie is horrible (and u should be able to tell by how fast she charges her passive up) it is an easy match up.
aw man a passive that acts like GA...such a pain. this match up is not hard but its not easy either. dodge her
Flash Frost because its a stun and it should be rather easy since it flies kinda slow and does stand out. Have ur jungler be ready for a gank because you are gonna need it when you are about to go for the kill. Ahri literally does not have enough burst power to kill anivia twice in a row. overall its gonna be a farming match for you since she can play really agressive because of her passive. If you can, try to bring out her passive since it is a 5 min cooldown, then it will be your turn to bully her since you can out trade her
love this guys Halloween skin, runs around in a circle like hes on fire
anyways back to topic, fighting this guy can be either tough or alrite. he can outrange and harass much better than you. if you happen to get hit by any of his moves, be ready to dodge his
Sear cause it will stun. also trading with this guy is kinda hard since he can be an
Annie if you want, wait till he misses his pillar of fire or
Sear. I don't fight this guy often so I cant really give much help here
so much range...stay away from her poison and keep moving around, you should be ok if u can at least do that. her downfall is that she uses mana fast if u can keep her using her moves by tricking her to think that you are moving somewhere. she will push easy since she has alot of aoe. when she does push too much have ur jungler gank. but mainly its just gonna be a farming match against her since she our ranges u and poking her is kinda hard unless you are good at it.
im not even gonna say anything or even waste my time with this one. as an AP carry harrassing this guy is just a waste of time...just farm and watch for his knockup. simply this match up will be tough for u cause u cant do anything to this guy
MORE WILL TO COME...too much champions

Overall, Ahri is a very underestimated champion because simply people cannot "adjust to her". Honestly, majority of ahri players say the same thing about their first experience with her. She is difficult to get used to. So don't be discouraged about your first couple of games with her. Again thank you for reading my guide. Pictures belong to their original owners unless mentioned.
