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 Cassiopeia

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Dodge her poison

    Dodge Noxious Blast (Q): without poison on you, Twin Fang (E) deals much less damage and doesn't heal her.

  2. Walk around her clouds

    Walk around the Miasma (W) clouds: inside, you're slowed and can't use dashes or jumps.

  3. Turn your back on her R

    Turn your back to her when she casts Petrifying Gaze (R): facing her, you're stunned; facing away, you're only slowed.
