Laning Against Ahri: Essential Tips

Ahri the Nine-Tailed Fox
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:
- Neeko - Strong wave clear and CC abilities
- Kassadin - Natural magic resistance and post-6 mobility
- Cassiopeia - Strong sustained damage and grounding ability
- Annie - Point-and-click CC, burst potential
- 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
