Playing against Ahri

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

1

Stay behind minions: her E (Charm) is blocked by units, and it's her main burst condition.

2

When Ahri has used all 3 charges of R, she's very vulnerable during the 130s cooldown — track her ult and engage when it's down.

3

Her Q deals magic damage going out, but true damage on the return — side-stepping the return is more important than the outgoing.

4

Ahri is strong in midgame thanks to picks with E + R: avoid wandering alone in the jungle when she's MIA.
