Playstyle
The return trajectory of Q (Orb of Deception) deals true damage, so it clears waves and pokes at once. Land E (Charm), then Q-W for burst is the core combo. R (Spirit Rush) has three dashes for free engage/disengage, and Deathfire Grasp maximizes one-shot burst. Roaming side lanes to snowball other lanes is the key to her playstyle.

Champion Tips
Riot officialPlaying as
- Use Charm to set up your combos, it will make landing Orb of Deception and Fox-Fire dramatically easier.
- Initiate team fights using Charm, and chase down stragglers with Spirit Rush.
- Spirit Rush enables Ahri's abilities, it opens up paths for Charm, helps double hitting with Orb of Deception, and closes to make use of Fox-Fire.
Playing against
- Ahri's survivability is dramatically reduced when her Ultimate, Spirit Rush, is down.
- Stay behind minions to make Charm difficult to land, this will reduce Ahri's damage potential significantly.
