Ahri Mid Lane Guide: Complete Season 14 Champion Strategy
Ahri's Passive provides lane sustain, helping her survive tough matchups. Her E combined with R creates strong pick potential throughout the game.
In team fights, her mobility allows for effective flanking maneuvers - catching enemies off guard and escaping safely. However, she becomes vulnerable when her Ultimate is down, requiring more cautious play during cooldowns.
As a skill-shot-based champion with a narrow E hitbox, Ahri requires precise mechanical execution. She can struggle against heavy CC compositions, often needing to wait for enemy cooldowns before engaging.
Early Game Tips:
- Prioritize farming and getting Lost Chapter

- Set up death brushes near minion waves
- Look for flanking opportunities in team fights
- Utilize fog of war for ambushes
- Focus on enclosed areas for better Q value
