Ahri unleashes high mobility and pick potential as a mid lane mage-assassin. Her passive grants sustain during laning phase, while her charm (E) enables lethal catches when paired with Spirit Rush (R).

Early Game (Levels 1-5):

  • Focus on farming and getting Lost Chapter quickly
  • Use Q to simultaneously harass enemies and farm
  • Stay near the opposite wall from enemy jungler's position
  • Trade aggressively at level 2 with Q-E combo

Mid Game (Levels 6-11):

  • Roam after pushing waves when Ultimate is available
  • Look for picks on overextended enemies
  • Move to side lanes to create pick opportunities
  • Use vision control to set up flanks

Late Game (Level 12+):

  • Focus on catching isolated targets
  • Set up ambushes in fog of war
  • Team fight by flanking backline when possible
  • Use last Ultimate charge to escape if needed
