❤️Summoner Spell Explanations❤️
*Note: Always have flash as a primary summoner spell, I would also avoid swapping flash with spell book to not mess up your go to flash key(s)*
- Flash and Ignite is the most common combo you will see on the rift!
For Ahri this summoner spell allows for more opportunities for solo kills, especially when Ahri's Charm and Spirit Rush hits or are available for a solo play.
Ideally you want your enemy mid laners to be around half HP and your abilities available before attempting to use ignite for a solo play.
Feel free to ignite early when your jungler/support/top ganks for you, that healing reduction and surprise tick can secure kills in various ways [forcing your opponent to react faster, panic summoner blown by enemies, etc.]
- Cleanse is a very self explanatory situational summoner spell to take secondary.
- Cleanse has a pretty short cool down for what it does, in most cases it won't save you, but having this summoner spell prevents a lot of 1 Hit-KO champion playstyle. That alone can win you games/teamfights.
Common Ex: Lux 1 Shot Combo -> Hit Q full combo
- Take this summoner versus lethal CC mid that can get you killed easily in 1v1 scenarios, more importantly when the enemy junglers come, ask yourself: Can the mid or jungler CC you easily and secure a kill?
Here are some common match-ups you may want to run Cleanse versus:
- Sejuani: Slow abilities, Ultimate, Point click CC
- Fizz: Ultimate (will remove the slow effect -> position closer to turret/ get farther; forces Fizz to use extra summoner)
- Lux Q [Snare/Root]
- Maokai W [Snare/Root]
- Heal offers a little extra mobility, however the healing amount can be reduced easily from items/ignite/few champion kit(s).
- The movement speed bonus Heal offers is very nice for Ahri to set up hits with her Q (Orb of Deception) and positioning for crucial hits on her W (Charm) and R (Spirit Rush).
- Overall nice summoner and almost as common as ignite for a long time.
- A generic rule for running exhaust is when you are versus assassins, AD champion(s) (heavy AD comp,etc), or melees.
- Great for preventing snowball; when you die early and your opponent/enemy mid laner usually can just one shot you nonstop; Exhaust prevents that and heavily punishes them in various way.
Ex: Exhaust-> Your jungler can arrive in time; you don't die to their initial full combo
- Despite the loss of Exhaust ability to reduce attack speed, the damage reduction is very strong and is the major reason (along with Exhaust's slow) why people use this summoner.
- You may consider exhaust a secondary summoner to help you "survive" more in lane, but make sure you can still CS despite the loss of lane presence using exhaust.
- Exhaust is also great for setting up for your team to gank your lane early [Jungler/Top/Support]
Here are some examples of when you should run Exhaust: [ Brief Reasoning]
- Versus Zed [Zed's Ultimate/Melee/AD]
- Versus Kassadin [Depends on Kassadin's team comp; good counter to punish Kass for using R(Rift Walk) to go in for an aggressive trade]
- Versus Talon [AD/Melee]
- All AD team comp [Ex: Gnar/Zed or Talon; ADC Mids/ADC bot]
❤️ Summoner Spells (Non Popular) Explanations❤️
- this is another "survive" laning phase secondary summoner (like exhaust)
- Recommended for "Double TP" presence; if you can make sure your TP is always up the enemy jungler ganks will tend to be directed at top or mid (you); allowing your bot lane to succeed is a great win condition.
Double TP presence also means you can preform miraculous counter ganks/rotate faster then the enemy mid laners for counter ganks/dives/etc.
- If you want to play to just farm and roam Teleport is a great choice for you.
You may also use Teleport to get back to lane after successfully pulling off a "good roam" [getting kills/vision/ lower enemy pressure at X lane/etc.]
- Teleport's major downside is you don't have a secondary "offensive" or "defensive" summoner and you can die easily if you do not get fed/stay even in lane/ or get ganked without any mobile spells/abilities available.
- Barrier is an option; it is like the summoner spell Heal except the amount of shielding cannot be reduced; unlike Heal's healing amount.
- I would consider this summoner spell more often due to the rune Unsealed Spell book becoming meta even for mid laners as of patch 8.2. [See New Runes for spell book explanation]
- Barrier is great for champions who have innate healing reduce abilities [ex: Katarina ultimate], that tends to prevent you from using Heal's healing amount at its fullest due to how fast certain champion(s) can reduce your healing effects.
New Runes Back to Top
Keystone Rune(s) Explanations:
Aery: 
- More consistent in hitting the damage Proc than Arcane Comet [during late game]
- Ahri only CC ability is her (E) Charm so this keystone is a great choice since you won't have any chances of missing once you proc Aery on an enemy champion. [Unlike Arcane Comet]
- Ahri can proc Aery a bit more often, technically because once Ahri uses R (Spirit Rush) she gets closer to her enemies and allow Aery to come back to her quickly.
- Ahri also procs Aery more often because of how much hits all her abilities has.
Q: 2 hit
W: 3 hits [Your opponents running/flashing away can accidentally proc another Aery for free]
R: 3 hits [Same as W explanation]
Total hits all abilities can offer in 1 full rotation: 14 hits
Remember: Aery has to come back to you before it can be proc again [Best user of Aery is Teemo due to poison +Teemo's play style]
- Aery is also great versus melees since you will auto attack them often and get closer to them; allowing Aery to return more often for more damage procs.
- Aery matches Ahri's art-style and looks very cute with her.
Arcane Comet:
- Although Arcane Comet isn't gurantee damage procs like Aery, Ahri players tend to use Comet often as well because of how much hits Aery has.
Ahri has 14 hits total [9 Hits from 1(R) Spirit Rush, 3 from (W) Fox Fire), 2 from (Q) Orb of Deception, and 1(E) from Charm]
I emphasized the amount of hits because if Arcane Comet is on cool down and you hit your opponents every ~2 seconds on average; Arcane Comet's cool down gets refunded each hit/proc while it is on cool down.
- Arcane Comet does slightly more damage; the icing on the cake is that it is an AOE ability
Meaning one good (Q) Orb of Deception on multiple targets tend to mean you will hit Arcane Comet on multiple enemy champions. [Because they try and save whoever gets caught by (E)Charm before or after (Q) was thrown]
Electrocute: 
- remember 3 separate abilities or auto attacks total; Electrocute isn't the same as Thunder-lord's Decree
- although Electrocute is much harder to proc as an Ahri player; it is still a good keystone to pick if you want to use the basic runes the Domination Tree has to offer.
Most notably: Sudden Impact [See below]
- the damage Electrocute does is guaranteed similar to Aery
- Electrocute has a longer cool down and cannot be reduced in any way (like Arcane Comet/Aery) that scales down to 25 seconds when Ahri or Champion(s) are level 18
(50->25 seconds)
Unsealed Spellbook: 
- As of patch 8.2, Unsealed Spell book is becoming a popular choice to pick up more often because of how much you can keep changing the game to your favor.
- Increase in Elixir Duration helps 
when you snowball your lead/playing with a blue elixir end game. Increase potion duration helps early game for that extra laning sustain.
when you snowball your lead/playing with a blue elixir end game. Increase potion duration helps early game for that extra laning sustain. - You lose on average 1 to 2 k damage compare to an offensive keystone [

] but gain a approx 1 minute and 30 second cool down reduction in summoner spells ; meaning more up time for , etc.- Depending on your secondary rune path you gain the following stats [making up for the loss of 1-2k damage as well]
**The following is the same no matter what: 20% pot and elixir duration**
Precision: +20% attack speed [useful for CSing and auto attacking more on champions/structures]
Domination: +13 AD or + 22 AP Adaptive
Sorcery: +13 AD or + 22 AP Adaptive
Resolve: +145 Health
- Not only do you shave 30 ~ 45 seconds on your summoner spells as a mid laner; but you can swap them to adapt to whats going on in the game.
This means you can have a better summoner spell depending on multiple situatinos
**I recommend making sure Flash is put back to your default keybinding if you swap it out; make sure to think ahead on what summoner spell(s) you will be swapping to avoid a misplacing your Flash muscle memory key binding.**
Ex:
When Ahead: Swapping secondary summoner spell to Teleport is great
When Behind: Swapping Flash or Secondary summoner spell that is up to Teleport is great to try and catch up and focus on farming without missing a huge minion wave
When Even: Swapping your secondary summoner spell to an offensive one for the situation you are in.
--Trying to Siege: Swap to Exhaust, Heal, Ghost depending on how team fights will play out.
-- Even Baron fights/Baron/Dragon: Swap to Smite believe it or not for an extra smite presence, make sure to communicate with your jungler as well.
--Split pushing: Swap to teleport and have it available or use it ASAP and create a huge pressure on the other side of the map that your opponents don't want to be near/at/play around.
- Overall, there are many upsides to using Unsealed Spell book and expect future nerfs/changes to this keystone.
- Inspiration tree also has the rune 
which is very trendy ATM.

❤️Ahri Ability Order/Points Notes:❤️
- Like all skill orders, very rarely do they change because it is very one dimensional and reasonable to have one acceptable skill order build.
- Fortunately ,as of patch 8.2, has only one skill build path (listed above) unless gets buffed (not any time soon it seems)

Passive: Essence Theft
- Here is the precise haling amount:
Upon reaching 9 charges, her next ability heals her for 3 / 5 / 9 / 18 (+ 9% AP) for each enemy hit.
- When 's passive is up it is very noticeable when her ball turns green. (weapon)

Q: Orb of Deception
- this ability is pretty unique in that it goes back and fourth like a boomerang, as well as doing true damage on the travel back. [most abilities with this mechanic just do extra damage]
i.e: 
- on top of the true damage on the Q's travel back, gains movement speed on the initial cast. This movement speed on initial cast can do wonders for players. I will go into detail in the tips and tricks section.

- I mention how W works in a Zoe guide on a reddit post.
- The tool tip when you hover this ability is explained somewhat clearly in game only.
- W targeting system will try and hit in the following way:
Whatever is closest to her W + must be in range [The W spins so keep note of that]
Will prioritize champions/enemy champions if they are in range of W [Again hit box changes as it spins] over say minions if there is an enemy champion(s) in range as well. [The W will prioritize enemy champion]
can control what her W hits as well by auto attacking if you auto attack once your W is active, W will try and focus on the target you auto attacked. If W cannot hit (out of range,etc.) then the W will follow the generic rule of hitting whatever is closest [prioritizing champion(s)].- There is a damage cap (same amount on champions or monsters/minions) usually will never reach the cap on enemy champions but can cap on monsters/minions usually.

's abilities - the CC can also be used as a pick/engage tool for your team
- Charm is an unique CC effect that makes enemies walk toward you a fixed amount of movement speed (uncontrollably)
i.e: 
in his ultimate will still move at the fixed amount that (E) Charm slows + make someone walks toward you.

R: Spirit Rush
- I would say 's kit if it doesn't revolve around hitting her mainly would also be in utilizing her to try and kill someone.
's kit if it doesn't revolve around hitting her mainly would also be in utilizing her to try and kill someone.- R offers a ton of mobility times 3! (dash effects), unfortunately doesn't grant movement speed.
- R can even dash over walls I will cover this in tips and tricks and the video section!
- R also has a similar mechanic to here is how the targeting system works for R:
here is how the targeting system works for R:up to 3 targets in range; prioritizing champion(s) in range.
You control where your R goes so the skill shots R provides is dependent on how far/where you dash defensively or aggressively.

A little background about me.
I am Musics in the North American server and have been D1-Master tier since last season (7).
I have been playing league for approximately 7 years and have been diamond for 5 years. I have been coaching friends and people that request my help for free for around 3 years. I explain subjects related to League of Legends well, however I have no experience making video in general. I will try and learn how to make proper YouTube videos to make video version(s) of my guide(s) so stay tune for that!
I have been online throughout the League community vocally through many ways.
Here are some examples:
- r/ league of legends, summoner school, Zoe main, Nidalee main
- Online Tournaments [EVG, Battlefy, Invictus Gaming, ARAM tournmanets, Razer tournaments]
As of now I main Support/Jungle, but have tons of experience throughout my years playing all roles.
