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 Kassadin

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Trade before he hits 6

    Take as many trades as you can before he hits level 6: without Riftwalk (R), he has no way to move quickly, to engage or to escape.

  2. Lean on physical damage

    If you deal physical damage, lean on it in trades: Void Stone (passive) and Null Sphere (Q) only reduce magic damage.

  3. Drag it out when he chains R

    When he recasts Riftwalk (R) back to back, back off and drag the teamfight out: each quick recast doubles its mana cost, and once he's out of mana he can't blink anymore.

  4. End the game early

    Look to end the game early: at max rank, Riftwalk (R) only has a 2-second cooldown, and he blinks almost nonstop.
