Ahri Champion Abilities

Essence Theft

Killing minions or monsters grants Ahri an Essence Fragment. After obtaining 9 fragments, Ahri consumes them to restore 35−95 (+20% of ability power) health (depending on level).

When Ahri scores a takedown against an enemy champion within 3 seconds of damaging them, she feasts upon their Essence, restoring 75−165 (+30% of ability power) health (depending on level). P

Orb of Deception

Ahri throws then pulls back her orb, dealing 40 / 65 / 90 / 115 / 140 (+50% of ability power) magic damage on the way out and the same amount of damage as true damage on the way back. Q

Ahri releases 3 fox-fires that seek nearby enemies and deal 40 / 60 / 80 / 100 / 120 (+40% of ability power) magic damage, reduced to 15 / 22.5 / 30 / 37.5 / 45 (+0.9% of ability power) damage beyond the first. She also gains 40% movement speed decaying over 2 seconds. W

Ahri blows a kiss that Charms the first enemy hit for 1.2 / 1.4 / 1.6 / 1.8 / 2 seconds and deals 80 / 120 / 160 / 200 / 240 (+85% of ability power) magic damage. E

Ahri Tips and Tricks

Constantly look to poke and chip away at the enemy's health before committing to an all-in. In team fights, focus on peeling for your teammates at first. When an enemy overextends or gets caught out of position, seize the opportunity to eliminate them. If securing a kill in lane isn't possible, push the wave and look for roam opportunities with your Ultimate. Ahri excels at roaming, so staying proactive can create advantages for your team.

Best Ahri Build, Runes, and Items

For the most common Ahri Mid build, Flash and Teleport are the go-to Summoner Spells.

Attack Speed is preferred for the offensive shard, Adaptive Force for flex, and Health Scaling for defense, though adjustments can be made depending on the matchup. Malignance is the first core item, followed by Sorcerer’s Shoes and Horizon Focus. The final three items include Zhonya’s Hourglass, Rabadon’s Deathcap, and Void Staff. Ability max order remains Q first, then W, then E.

Situational Ahri Runes and Items

Depending on the matchup, team compositions, and game state, certain adjustments may be necessary. Consider taking Armor or Magic Resist rune shards if the lane opponent deals heavy physical or magic damage. Itemization choices should reflect the needs of the game, whether it’s building more survivability or maximizing damage output.
