How to beat Ahri

Common role: Mid

A mobile mage who charms you in and bursts, with three ult dashes to escape.

What makes Ahri dangerous

Ahri pokes with her Q, and lands her charm (E) to lock you for a full burst combo. Her ultimate gives three dashes to engage, chase or escape, making her a safe, slippery pick who roams to other lanes and deletes squishies. She's forgiving but relies entirely on landing her charm.

How to play against Ahri

• 1Dodge her charm (E) — it's a slow skillshot and the setup for all her damage. Stand behind minions and sidestep it; without it she can't burst you.
• 2Track her roams. Ahri leaves lane with her mobility to gank other lanes — ping and follow, and she loses her main source of leads.
• 3Punish her when her ultimate is down — that's her only escape. Without her three dashes she's an immobile mage you can all-in.
• 4She's squishy. Assassins and hard engage beat her once her charm and ult are used — bait them, then commit.

Weaknesses to exploit

• ✓Entirely reliant on landing her charm skillshot.
• ✓Squishy — dies to burst when her ult is down.
• ✓Mediocre waveclear and short trading range early.
• ✓Predictable roams if you have vision.

Abilities & how to counter them

What each of Ahri's abilities does — and how to play around it.

• P
  정기 흡수

  아리가 미니언 또는 몬스터를 9마리 처치하면 체력을 회복합니다.아리가 적 챔피언 처치에 관여하면 더 많은 체력을 회복합니다.

• Q
  현혹의 구슬

  아리가 구슬을 던지고 다시 받습니다. 던질 때는 마법 피해를 주며 돌아올 때는 고정 피해를 줍니다.

• W
  여우불

  아리의 이동 속도가 잠시 동안 크게 증가하며 아리가 여우불 세 개를 생성하면, 각각 자동으로 적을 찾아 공격합니다.

• E
  매혹

  아리가 입맞춤을 날려 피해를 주며 맞은 적을 홀립니다. 홀린 적은 즉시 이동 스킬을 멈추고 아리 쪽으로 무작정 다가갑니다.

  Strong: a charm that locks you for her full combo. Weak: a slow skillshot — stand behind minions and sidestep it; no charm, no burst.

• R
  혼령 질주

  아리가 전방으로 질주하며 근처 적 챔피언들에게 혼령의 정기를 쏘아냅니다. 재사용 대기시간이 적용되기 전에 최대 세 번까지 사용할 수 있으며, 적 챔피언 처치 관여 시 재사용 가능 횟수가 늘어납니다.

  Strong: three dashes to engage, chase or escape — her safety net. Weak: on cooldown she's an immobile mage — all-in her when it's down.

Itemization

Ahri is AP burst. Magic resist (Mercury's Treads, an MR item) and a Zhonya's/Banshee's to eat her charm-into-combo answer her. The single best counter is simply dodging her E — do that and she's harmless.
