Ahri Build Guide for Wild Rift

How to play Ahri

Ahri is a burst mage who can play in the Mid Lane. Ahri aims to single out vulnerable targets by locking them down with Charm and following up with her damage from Orb of Deception and Fox-Fire. Ahri's weakness lies in the early game. Her cooldowns are pretty high, and it's difficult to catch enemies when there are minions nearby. It's best to stay safe early onuntil you reach level 5; once you reach level 5, you'll have access to her ultimate, Spirit Rush. Spirit Rush gives Ahri a lot of mobility and outplay potential, making her mid/late game much stronger.

Ahri's Abilities

Essence Theft

(Passive)

Ahri gains a stack of Essence Theft if her abilities hit a target. At three stacks, Ahri's next ability, which hits an enemy, heals her.

There is an indicator underneath Ahri's mana bar that shows how many stacks she has of her passive. It's important to remember how many stacks you have, as you can heal from minions to help Ahri sustain while in lane. Also, whenever Ahri gets a takedown within a few seconds of damaging them, she consumes their essence and heals herself.

Orb of Deception

(1)

Ahri throws an orb forward that deals magic damage to all enemies it passes through and deals the same damage back, but as true damage.

It's good to keep in mind that the damage from the orb moving back is much stronger than the damage moving forward. Orb of Deception will be your main source of waveclear throughout the game, which allows Ahri to roam with her Ultimate to get kills.

Fox-Fire

(2)

Fox-Fire creates three flames that will damage nearby enemies. Fox-Fire prioritises champions hit by Charm, followed by Ahri's recently attacked enemies.

Activating Fox-Fire also grants Ahri immediate movement speed when used. This is great to keep in mind when trying to dodge enemy skillshots or to catch up to enemies to hit her other abilities.

Charm

(3)

Ahri sends a kiss toward a location. If it hits a target, it charms them, forces them to walk toward you, and slows them.

This is easily Ahri's most important ability. Hitting Charm on a champion allows her to follow up and hit her other abilities. If you miss her Charm, it's best to wait until it comes back up against before using her other abilities.

Spirit Rush

(Ultimate)

Spirit Rush enables Ahri to dash in any direction, dealing damage to nearby enemies. It's important to know that Spirit Rush can be recast up to two more times. If you manage to take down an enemy champion while using this ability, it will extend the recast duration and grant an additional recast, storing up to 3 recasts at a time.

Spirit Rush is the key to Ahri's aggressive yet sometimes safe playstyle. It allows her to dash to dodge incoming ganks or dash towards enemies. Spirit Rush can also help hit Charm, which can be combined with her other abilities to deal tons of damage.

Ahri Build Breakdown

Luden's Echo

Lich Bane

Rabadon's Deathcap

Infinity Orb

Crown of the Shattered Queen

Boots of Mana - Stasis

Luden's Echo gives Ahri more burst damage and has some great stats. It will be the only mana item you need and can help when clearing waves with Orb of Deception

Lich Bane empowers Ahri's auto attacks after using an ability. With multiple charges on Spirit Rush, your auto attacks will be able to help you burst enemy champions.

Rabadon's Deathcap gives Ahri a massive boost of Ability Power which scales incredibly well into the mid/late game. It's essential to have in your build to help with Ahri's damage.

With runes, we have the following:

Electrocute

Electrocute is the most consistent keystone to help with Ahri's burst damage. It synergizes extremely well with Ahri's kit and combo after hitting Charm.

Psychic Wave

Ahri loves to mix auto attacks and abilities in her combos to deal the most damage possible.

Empowered Attack

Ahri can auto-attack during her combo to help with her burst damage potential.

Eyeball Collector

Eyeball Collector is great since it gives Ahri more Ability Power every time she gets a takedown.

Bone Plating

With Ahri's aggressive playstyle, she wants to Spirit Rush into enemies, but sometimes she will get caught and focused by enemy champions. Bone Plating will help with her survivability if you get caught.

Flash

Ignite

Flash is the most important Summoner Spell for Ahri. When her ultimate is on cooldown, she has no other escapes, and her Charm is not a reliable way to save you. You can also use Flash aggressively to catch enemies off guard and hit her abilities.

Ignite offers extra damage and enhances her burst all-ins to help secure kills.

Early Game

Ahri's weakest point is in the early game. With her high cooldowns, it's best to use her abilities, like Orb of Deception, to clear minion waves and farm as much as possible. Whenever the enemy steps too far forward during the laning phase, remember to use Ahri's Charm to deal short burst damage. Hitting your Charm will always help Ahri win early-game trades. Ahri also has one of the best setup potential for ganks with her Charm to help your jungler follow up with their damage.

Late Game

In the late game, Ahri becomes a versatile champion who can be played in multiple ways. She can sit in bushes and catch enemies off guard with her Charm and combo that with other abilities to deal a lot of damage. Or she can join her team and start a teamfight with the same combo. When Ahri is grouped with her team, use Spirit Rush to access vulnerable carries in the back line. Hitting your Charm on these carries will easily one-shot them with your high burst damage.

Conclusion

Overall, Ahri is an excellent starter champion that anyone can pick up. She has a fun playstyle and aggressive playstyle that can help carry games. She is also one of the safest champions, with her Ultimate allowing her to escape any tough scenarios.
