Laning Against Ahri

When Ahri's Charm is down, she becomes vulnerable as her only defensive option is her Ultimate. Exploit this window for trades and all-ins.

Position yourself near but not inside your minion wave. This forces Ahri to choose between wave clear or harass with her Q, while giving you minion cover from her Charm (E).

Take advantage of her Ultimate's long cooldown, especially in the early game. This is your best window for successful engages.

Key Counter Strategies

• Build early magic resistance to reduce her burst potential
• Dodge her Charm to nullify her combo potential
• Track and ping her roams after level 6
• Push waves when she roams to force her back to lane
• Coordinate ganks when her Ultimate is down
• Keep waves near your tower to enable successful ganks
