How it works

AP Build specific
  1. You play as burst oriented Mage.
  2. You build AP items.
  3. You rush Stormsurge.

How to play

AP Build specific
  1. Playing AP Ahri build, your default rush is Stormsurge.
  2. Adapt to an enemy team. Are they full of tanks, and they rush tons of Magic Resist? You rush Void Staff as #2 or #3 item to counter MR stacking. Their team has champs with lots of healing? Rush Oblivion Orb as #2 item (upgrade to Morellonomicon as 4th or 5th item).
  3. Somebody is going after you each fight? Always getting ulted by enemy assassins? Rush Zhonya's Hourglass.

Tips and Tricks

General
  1. You can Charm (E), then Flash to do cool combo and catch unsuspecting enemies!
  2. You can Charm (E), then Flash forward or sideways.
Riot
  1. Use Charm to set up your combos, it will make landing Orb of Deception and Fox-Fire dramatically easier.
  2. Initiate team fights using Charm, and chase down stragglers with Spirit Rush.
  3. Spirit Rush enables Ahri's abilities, it opens up paths for Charm, helps double hitting with Orb of Deception, and closes to make use of Fox-Fire.
