Ultimate Ahri Mid Lane Guide: Strategy, Tips & Counters
When laning, utilize Ahri's passive sustain to survive tough matchups while focusing on farming and securing Lost Chapter. Land Q to simultaneously harass enemies and clear minions for maximum efficiency.
Pre-6, stay cautious of enemy jungler position due to limited mobility. Once you unlock Ultimate, begin roaming after shoving waves to secure kills. Use Ultimate and E combo for reliable pick potential throughout the game.
