~Fun Facts and Lore~

Lore

Unlike other foxes that roamed the woods of southern Ionia, Ahri had always felt a strange connection to the magical world around her; a connection that was somehow incomplete. Deep inside, she felt the skin she had been born into was an ill fit for her and dreamt of one day becoming human. Her goal seemed forever out of reach, until she happened upon the wake of a human battle. It was a grisly scene, the land obscured by the forms of wounded and dying soldiers. She felt drawn to one: a robed man encircled by a waning field of magic whose life was quickly slipping away. She approached him and something deep inside of her triggered, reaching out to the man in a way she couldn't understand. His life essence poured into her, carried on invisible strands of magic. The sensation was intoxicating and overwhelming. As her reverie faded, she was delighted to discover that she had changed. Her sleek white fur had receded and her body was long and lithe, the shape of the humans who lay scattered about her.

However, though she appeared human, she knew that in truth the transformation was incomplete. A cunning creature, she adapted herself to the customs of human society and used her profound gift of beauty to attract unsuspecting men. She could consume their life essences when they were under the spell of her seductive charms. Feeding on their desires brought her closer to her dream, but as she took more lives, a strange sense of regret began to well within her. She had reservations about actions which never troubled her as a fox. She realized that she could not overcome the pangs of her evolving morality. In search of a solution, Ahri found the Institute of War, home of the most gifted mages on Runeterra. They offered her a chance to attain her humanity without further harm through service in the League of Legends.

Fun Facts

• Demons (Oni) are generally viewed as beings that eat souls, Ahri, in the ***iho legend, qualified as such. This is why her passive was called Soul Eater.
• Ahri's dance is based on the choreography for the song Run Devil Run by Girls' Generation
  (소녀시대; Sonyeo Shidae/SNSD), a popular Korean girl group.

~Runes~

Quintessences

For Quintessences I choose Greater Quintessence of Ability Power
These offer me the biggest advantage during the whole duration of the game and are the no-brainer choice of Quintessences for any AP carry.

For Marks I choose Greater Mark of Magic Penetration

-Why Greater Mark of Magic Penetration?
-It is a well known fact that Greater Mark of Magic Penetration are the best you can have, most of the time, on most if not all AP carries in the league offering you an universal advantage throughout the whole duration of the game boosting your damage early game and reducing the MR of carries and supports with Abyssal Mask and Banshee's Veil during lategame.

For Seals I choose Greater Seal of Health because as I said I am cheap as **** and I wont spend IP on even more runes.

-SDASFA RAEG MODE! Greater Seal of Health IS TEH SUXORZ FOR AHRI111!!!11!one!!eleven!11!
-Calm down, keep yo cool. As I said in the first line of the rune section I choose runes according to MY OWN PLAYSTYLE you are free to choose something of the other choices that I will present below if they suit YOUR PLAYSTYLE better.
So I choose Greater Seal of Health because I don't want the enemy Xerath, Cassiopeia, Malzahar, Cactus errrrr I mean Karthus + all Champs with more range than Ahri to be rocking my face ahem, I mean my 4 BAR HP early game. I like to make my enemy feel uncomfortable and back as much as possible early game giving me the opportunity to farm minions all day long.

Greater Glyph of Ability Power

-OMG! Y U SO BAD PLAYTHROUGH?!!? Greater Glyph of Scaling Ability Power are better!
-Well, I got nothing to say about this! I have to resort to saying that it's personal preference once again. Whether you choose Greater Glyph of Scaling Ability Power so you got more AP at level 18 or you get Greater Glyph of Ability Power and you get an advantage up to level 6 is... Well screw this, I have no rational explanation just feel free to choose what you like most.

Because Ahri is in fact one of the slowest champions in the game with only 383 movement speed with Sorcerer's Shoes, Ionian Boots of Lucidity or Mercury Treads.

Greater Seal of Replenishment
Because spamming skills is always good but Ahri's mana pool does not support this that much.
NOTE: Use those only if you decide to drop 1 Doran's Ring from the item build or else you will end up with way to much Mp/5sec.

Many People argue that Ahri benefits more from Cooldown Reduction. If you are one of them feel free to swap Sorcerer's Shoes with Ionian Boots of Lucidity and Greater Glyph of Cooldown Reduction I would also suggest incorporating Morello's Evil Tome somewhere in the build to reach max CDR.

~Summoner Spells~

The Good

• 
  Flat out awesome summoner spell capable of shutting down any AD carry in the game until you liquify him with your combo.
  
• 
  As an assassin you shouldn't be letting any kills go away. Take ignite and even if you have only 10% of your brain cells working they will never get away!
  
• 
  Ahri Has very high mobility when her ultimate is off-cooldown but she is pretty vaunerable picking up Flash helps you eliminate this problem.

The Viable

• 
  If you are having mana problems, even though you shouldn't with this build, don't hesitate to pick this up.
• 
  Chasing, escaping, diving, getting faster to a destination and a whole lot more.
• 
  If you don't feel confident enough in you escaping abilities with Spirit Rush and Flash feel free to drop Ignite and pick up Cleanse instead.
• 
  With this you can killstea... Kill Secure like a baws, save towers like a baws, push enemy towers like a baws and port around the WHOLE FREAKING MAP if the Teemo in your team was smart enough to put shrooms.

  The OMG WTF ARE YOU DOING?!?!?!

  
  
• 
  You ain't playing Revive & Teleport Karthus
• 
  You ain't a support.
• 
  I only use that on Jax or Kayle or maybe Master Yi and i cant see why would you pick it for any other champion.
• 
  Why does this even exist?
• 
  Not shur if serious, on a serious note i don't think Ahri can jungle very well, I might be mistaken though!

~Skills~

Wonderful ability, better than Morgana but less consistent. This ability is awesome when paired with Ahri ultimate ability Spirit Rush giving you 9stacks after using all 3 charges. Also when using [Orb of Deception]] to get stacks hit more than 3 minions every time so you get the maximum number of stacks.

99.9% pure awesome. Orb of Deception is epic win dealing a good chunk of Magic damage on its way out and dealing TRUE DAMAGE THAT SCALES WITH AP on its way back. Can you comprehend how awesome this is? While dealing true damage is awesome it requires you to hit the spell bot way out and way in order to do significant damage. Because if you only hit a target with your Orb of Deception the damage they receive will be sup-par.

Fox-Fire Deals the most damage from all the spells that Ahri has in her kit early on. This is why you should max this skill second. Fox-Fire is also excellent for poking during the lane phase. Just pop Fox-Fire followed by a really quick Orb of Deception and a couple of auto attacks in between

There has been a lot of controversy regarding this skill, some argue that is a very good way to CC other champions. Personally I find it useless so I use it only for interrupting stuff like Death Lotus and Absolute Zero during early and mid game. Also the damage is sup-par compared to Fox-Fire and I can launch my full combo of Fox-Fire and Orb of Deception in the 1 second interval this spell gives me on rank 1. So I max Charm last!

Shadow Dance on steroids! I can dash through walls making escapes with Ahri a breeze. Only problem is that it doesn't use the ammo system Akali has with her ultimate.This means that the use of this is rather limited during team fights. You should use ONLY 1 OR 2 CHARGES of Spirit Rush during a team fight leaving the leftover charge of Spirit Rush alongside with a Flash to escape. The only time when you should waste all 3 charges in team fights is to ste.... secure kills!

Skill Rotation

This entirely up to you. I wont tell you to use E>W>Q>R>R>W>Q> Ignite or what ever. This is all situational. I just provided you with tips on how to and how no to use your skills. Also I find the existence of skill rotations completely useless because they vary heavily depending on what champion you are attacking. So its all up to you!

~Gameplay~

Early Game Levels 1-6

When playing Ahri you are quite weak up until you get your Spirit Rush, I am not saying you are completely useless like Vladimir but you should focus on farming minions and not pushing your lane giving your jungler chances to gank when possible. But be careful this does not mean you cannot harass your opponent, you shouldn't miss any openings given for harassing and if he pushes to far call the jungler or Solo top(only if he has a stun or some other reliable form of CC) to gank middle lane.

Mid Game

During mid game you are much more mobile,almost ungankable, because of Spirit Rush
You should have also maxed out you Orb of Deception allowing you to kill caster minions in 1 hit! During mid game you should start roaming the map steali... securing kills here and there so you can make your core items and start roflpwning everyone.

Late Game

If your tank is stupid and doesn't initiate you should try to do so with your Charm. If it hits someone the proceed to jump and liquify him as fast as possible UNLESS HE IS THE ENEMY TANK!
Now if your tank is smart and initiates the team fight you should toss an Orb of Deception aiming for their carries, after that proceed with Fox-Fire and use 1-2 Charges of [Spirit Rush]] to deal some extra damage and position your self in a away that will allow you to murder the enemy carry with a Charm followed by another couple of spells.
After you have killed the enemy carry use the remaining stack of your Spirit Rush combined with a flash to escape.
