Ahri

the Nine-Tailed Fox

Lore

Innately connected to the magic of the spirit realm, Ahri is a fox-like vastaya who can manipulate her prey's emotions and consume their essence—receiving flashes of their memory and insight from each soul she consumes. Once a powerful yet wayward predator, Ahri is now traveling the world in search of remnants of her ancestors while also trying to replace her stolen memories with ones of her own making.

Playing the matchup

Playing as Ahri

  • 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

  • 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.
