Introduction
Hello summoners!
This is my first guide on mobafire as well as my first guide ever, so any criticism is appreciated!
This guide is to teach you how I play one of my favorite champs,
Ahri :)

But try the build FIRST before you down-vote it! You never know how it will turn out until you try. ^^
But now for what you will be learning!
Ahri is an assassin (Kinda depends) ranged mage

that does fairly well in team fights as well as soloing, depending on who you are up against.
This guide is focusing on soloing mid, but if you are up to it,
feel free to test it in lane (preferably top if anything else). Just remember this is SOLELY for mid purposes.
:D Now with all that said, lets get right into it!
.

.

Pros
.
+ Great turret diver ^^+ Nice CC + Fantastic ganker ;) + Evasive and gap closing ult + Some skills focus champions over minions + Very fun to play! |
Cons
.
- Squishy early game- Hard to escape ganks without ult - Item dependent (But who isn't?) :P - Very mana hungry early game - Skillshot champion, so she will take some practice! |

Core Items

Now on to the items! Ahri is a pretty flexible champ when it comes to items but I found this one the be the most viable giving me a good bit of extra health and mana regen, without sacrificing AP! Yay!

Mid game is very fun as 

.
Late Game
.

.
Late game is the point where everyone is pushing towers and trying to get ace's. Baron also plays a big part in late game that could potentially be the game decider. You should have a support or tank ward baron so your team always has sight of it, or go ahead and get it with your team! Best times to get baron is if: You just got an ace, You almost got an ace (1 or 2 enemies left), or if every enemy JUST respawned. Besides that you still want to do the same you did mid game kiting around team fights dealing damage. For a visual aid watch Sp4zie's video in the video guide section.
How to escape ganks
.
What happens when you go top to get a minion farm and you happen to get ganked by 3 enemies? This section is to teach you how to escape from ganks as 
.

.
Blue circle = Blue Buff
.
Red circle = Red Buff
.
Green circle = Dragon
.
Pink circle = Baron Nashor
.
Yellow circle = Common gank spots
.
Black arrow = Easiest escape route
.
Gray arrow = Moderate escape route
.
White arrow = Hard escape route

Just like every other champion
Ahri has weaknesses against other champions. Her main weakness is CC since she is somewhat squishy most of the game. She is also pretty useless against stealth characters. Below is a list of champions she is good against / okay against / and bad against based off of experience.
-
Ahri will destroy
Ashe unless she has
Enchanted Crystal Arrow off cool down.
- Playing against
Brand is a cakewalk because all of his abilities are very easy to dodge especially
Pillar of Flame. You should have no trouble here.
- 1 tip, avoid his
H-28G Evolution Turret. Besides that,
Heimerdinger is going to have a bad day.
- Wait for
Karthus to use his
Wall of Pain then commence, that is the only thing holding you back from a very easy kill.
- I am yet to face a
Morgana that outplays me at mid. Very easy to dodge her
Dark Binding and that is the only thing that will affect you.
- Easy to face, avoid her
Command: Dissonance.
- Very very easy to kill, he can barely affect you as long as you dodge his
Bouncing Bomb.
- Wait for her to use her
Crystallize just like
Karthus's
Wall of Pain. Her passive
Rebirth makes me want to cry, but besides that not too difficult.
- Her passive
Pyromania is a pretty strong stun that you can't dodge, be careful. And trust me, you don't want to meet her bear
Summon: Tibbers
- Easy to dodge her
Noxious Blast but if she hits it, it hurts.
Also try to avoid her ult.
- The only reason I put
Fizz in "Okay against" is because of his
Playful / Trickster. This ability... oh my gosh. You will go crazy.
- Avoid his
Barrel Roll at all times. He has quite a bit of health which makes him take a bit more to die.
- You might just want to play defensive against an aggressive
Kennen. His
Thundering Shuriken combined with his
Lightning Rush makes him a difficult target to take down without taking a lot of damage.
- Surprisingly easy to face, the only bad thing about her is her
Distortion which makes her pretty difficult to harass.
- Easy to dodge her snare:
Light Binding. Her ult finales funkeln drives me insane though, right when you escape with
Spirit Rush you get hit and die. Just try your hardest to dodge it.
- Very easy to harass and secure kills on, but his
Event Horizon is a very powerful CC that he will use to nuke you. Dodge his stun at all costs.
- Dodge his
Gravity Field and his
Hextech Ray and you will be alright.
Well, here we go. These are all champions that make me go crazy sometimes. I guess you just have to deal with it! For each one of them, play defensive if they are aggressive.
- His silence,
Reap, his
Bountiful Harvest, his fear,
Terrify, and his ult,
Crowstorm are all insanely strong on
Ahri. All I can say is tower hug. Have fun... <3
- Pretty easy to face since he is a melee mage, but once he gets his ult
Riftwalk, may god have mercy on your soul.
- Her teleport
Shunpo is very strong and, her dreadful ult
Death Lotus will rip you to shreads. Play defensive.
- His
Malefic Visions does tons of damage to you and he can use it very often. And when he uses it his passive is activated making his pet voidling
Summon Voidling automatically target you. His ult
Nether Grasp is a powerful suppress that will root and destroy you, he is the champion I hate facing the most. :(
- Oh geez, where to start with
Ryze. His snare,
Rune Prison just sets up for his nuke. Every ability he has will do tons of damage to you, only tip is play defensive.
- You will either face a really good
Swain or a really bad
Swain. If he is good, play defensive, if not then just farm minions because it is hard to kill him because of his ult healing him.
Ravenous Flock
- Last but certainly... not least is
Xerath. This guy will constantly harass you with
Arcanopulse and it gets even worst with locus of power which increases his range by a lot.

Well I guess it's time to wrap things up! So if you want the short and sweet version here you go! Make sure you last hit minions, dodge powerful skills, play defensive when needed, you are a good ganker, use that to your advantage, use your ult
Spirit Rush and
Flash for both gap closing and escaping, you can turret dive if one of those are available, you can 1v1 a lot of champs, and thats about it! If you didn't find the section on how to use your skills to secure kills it is under the "Skill sequence" chapter.
