League of Legends S12: Ahri Mid Build Guide

From runes to items, gameplay tips amd more, we've put together a guide to help you master playing Ahri in the midlane in League of Legends.

That said, this guide is a good starting point to helping you get to grips with the champion and making an impact in your games.

Other good choices include Horizon FocusZhonya's Hourglass, and Morellonomicon.

Starting Item & Boots

Gameplay

A burst mage, Ahri benefits hugely from magic penetration. Aim to build for damage, but try to vary your secondary stats so that you can sustain yourself in battle.

  • Level 1 - Take W - Fox-Fire, for easier initial waveclear.
  • Level 2 - Take Q - Orb of Deception, for more waveclear and poke potential.
  • First Back - Aim for boots if you can, as they'll provide a boost to your damage output.

Tips & Tricks

  • Remember that the return path of Orb of Deception deals true damage, and as such ignores armor and magic resist.
  • Using Charm and immediately following it up with Flash will give your opponent less time to react to the CC, as the charm will start from your new position. 
  • Use Fox-Fire before you dash in with your ultimate. 
  • Fox-Fire will seek out the last champion hit.
  • Keep moving when you use Orb of Deception, so that you hit the enemy with both the outward and return journeys.
