Ahri is a burst Mage Assassin who excels at picking off targets and providing sustained damage in team fights. Her Passive offers lane sustain, while her E provides strong pick potential throughout the game.

During the laning phase:

  • Focus on farming and getting Lost Chapter quickly
  • Use Q to hit both minions and enemy champions
  • Stay aware of enemy jungler position
  • Trade effectively at level 2 with Q+E combo

Mid-game strategy:

  • Begin roaming after pushing waves once you have Ultimate
  • Look for picks on overextended enemies
  • Move to side lanes to create pressure
  • Use Ultimate to flank enemies or escape dangerous situations

Late-game approach:

  • Set up ambushes in fog of war
  • Focus on eliminating squishy targets
  • Take fights in closed areas for maximum Q value
  • Use Ultimate aggressively at level 16
