Playing as Ahri

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Charm first, combo second

    Land Charm (E) before your combo: it's your only CC, and a target walking toward you takes Orb of Deception (Q) both ways.

  2. Bring your orb back through the target

    Position so Orb of Deception (Q) hits on the way out and on the way back: the return deals true damage.

  3. Farm to heal

    To stay in lane, clear the wave with Orb of Deception (Q): Essence Theft (passive) heals you every 9 minions or monsters killed, and more after a takedown.

  4. Save a dash to get out

    Engage with Spirit Rush (R) but save a dash to get out: you can cast it up to 3 times, and each takedown gives you another.

  5. Push, then roam

    Push your wave with Orb of Deception (Q), then roam: the dashes of Spirit Rush (R) get you there fast and back out just as fast.

Playing against Annie

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Back off when her stun is ready

    Back off when Pyromania (passive) is ready: after 4 spells, her next offensive spell stuns you. She has it ready at the start and every time she respawns.

  2. Poke her from outside her range

    If your range is longer than hers, poke her from outside it: her autos and Disintegrate (Q) reach 625, Incinerate (W) 600.

  3. Respect her level 6

    Once she hits level 6, stay well outside her range when her stun is ready: with Flash, Summon: Tibbers (R) can land on you from much farther away.

  4. Play hard once Tibbers is gone

    Take the teamfight once Tibbers has been cast and is gone, because Summon: Tibbers (R) has a 130 to 100 second cooldown and is her biggest source of damage.
