Lane plan

Avoid of being hit with Ahri’s (E). Bring Cleanse in case Veigar gets hit with (E). If Ahri uses (R) to close in, quickly use [E] to trap Ahri inside and retreat.

  • Level 3: Ahri's Charm (E) is 12s, your Event Horizon (E) is 20s, so Ahri is back first. Level 6: Ahri's ultimate 140s, yours 120s.
