Laning Against Ahri: Essential Tips

Key Counter Strategies:

  • Exploit Ahri when her Charm (E) is on cooldown, as she becomes vulnerable without her main defensive ability
  • Position yourself near but not inside minion waves to force her to choose between wave clear or poke with her Q
  • Capitalize on her vulnerability when Ultimate is unavailable, especially early game
  • Build magic resistance to reduce her one-shot potential

Best Counter Picks:

  1. Neeko - Strong wave clear and CC abilities
  2. Kassadin - Natural magic resistance and post-6 mobility
  3. Cassiopeia - Strong sustained damage and grounding ability
  4. Annie - Point-and-click CC, burst potential
  5. Talon - High mobility and burst damage

Wave Management and Roaming:

  • Keep waves closer to your tower to enable jungle ganks
  • Track and ping Ahri's roams after level 6
  • Push waves and pressure tower when she roams
  • Follow roams when possible to counter her map pressure

Power Spike Awareness:

  • Early Game: Ahri is relatively weak, ideal time to establish lane dominance
  • Level 6: Gains significant kill pressure with Ultimate
  • First Item Completion: Substantial damage increase and wave clear ability
  • Play cautiously when low health, as her chase potential becomes lethal

Strong Counter Tactics:

  • Engage when Charm is down
  • Maintain safe positioning near minions to block Charm
  • Build early magic resistance
  • Coordinate with jungler during her Ultimate cooldown
  • Stay healthy to prevent easy all-ins
