Ahri Build 26.22

When Is Ahri Strongest?

The peak lands in the mid-game once the core items come together, and games at this rank average around 28 minutes. What matters for Ahri is reaching that window with the combo up and a charm ready, then turning a single pick into a Spirit Rush roam that snowballs the map.

Ahri Item Build

Ahri is a burst mage built around one payoff: land the charm, chain the combo, and delete a squishy before they can answer. Every item points at making that one rotation hit harder and come back faster.

Best Ahri Runes

Electrocute is the keystone, no real debate. Her charm into Q into auto procs it almost instantly, and that burst is the whole point. A mana rune keeps her afloat early since she burns through her bar fast. Keep the rest simple, since landing the charm is what makes it all tick.

Ahri Skill Order

Orb of Deception soaks up its fifth point at level 9, which is fast for a kit with this many buttons. The cost lands on Charm, parked at a single rank from level 3 until level 14.

Ahri Abilities

Ahri sustain comes from Essence Theft, a heal that triggers every ninth minion and again on any takedown, which lets her spam Orb of Deception to poke without running dry. Spirit Rush is the skill-expression tool, three dashes that each refresh on a takedown.

Ahri Base Stats

Ahri Matchups

Every Ahri lane comes down to the same question: can she land charm before the enemy punishes the whiff. Mobile targets that dodge the skillshot give her trouble, while immobile ones let her combo freely.
