Ahri Mid guide

Ahri mid wins the fight before she commits to it: Charm (E) stops an enemy's movement abilities and walks them toward her, Orb of Deception (Q) throws out for magic damage and pulls back through them for true damage, and Spirit Rush (R) dashes in with essence bolts to close the gap or reposition afterward.

The build

Rune page: Electrocute, Taste of Blood, Grisly Mementos, and Ultimate Hunter (Domination), with Transcendence and Manaflow Band (Sorcery). Summoners: Flash and Ignite. Skill order opens Fox-Fire (W) at level one, then maxes Orb of Deception (Q) first with Charm (E) second. Starter: Doran's Ring and two Health Potions, into Sorcerer's Shoes. Core build: Malignance, Shadowflame, and Zhonya's Hourglass, with Rabadon's Deathcap, Blackfire Torch, and Dark Seal as later options.

Ability mechanics

Orb of Deception (Q) deals magic damage going out and true damage coming back along the same path. Charm (E) damages and charms the first enemy it hits, instantly stopping movement abilities and forcing them to walk harmlessly toward her. Fox-Fire (W) grants a brief burst of Move Speed and releases three fox-fires that lock onto and attack nearby enemies. Spirit Rush (R) dashes forward firing essence bolts at nearby enemies, can be cast up to three times before going on cooldown, and gains an additional recast on a champion takedown, while Essence Theft (passive) heals her after nine minions or monsters die and for more after a champion kill.
