Ahri vs Twisted Fate

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use high mobility and short trades to deny Twisted Fate free farm and prevent him from setting up Gold Card picks.
Manage wave tempo to create safe (E) angles and pressure Twisted Fate's limited mobility and cooldowns.
Focus on roaming and pick setups after level 6 to leverage Ahri's superior map impact.

Trading pattern

Use (Q) and (W) for short trades, then punish Twisted Fate's forward movement or Gold Card cooldown with (E).
Avoid using (E) without a clear follow-up to prevent being punished by his stun or poke.
Use (R) to safely extend trades or escape if Twisted Fate uses Gold Card to engage.

Danger windows

Be cautious when (E) is on cooldown, as Ahri loses her main pick and peel tool.
Avoid overextending if (R) is down, since Twisted Fate's Gold Card stun can punish lack of mobility.
Hard push the wave to punish Twisted Fate's roams after his (R) usage and communicate map pressure.

Early game

Poke with (Q) and (W) to pressure Twisted Fate before he can safely select Gold Card.
Hold (E) to punish Twisted Fate when he commits forward or wastes Gold Card on waveclear.
Avoid extended trades before level 6 when (R) is unavailable and Twisted Fate's Gold Card can stun.

Power spikes

Respect Twisted Fate's level 6 (R) for map pressure and potential roams.
Use Ahri's level 3 full ability access and level 6 (R) as key spikes for aggressive picks and safer engages.
After first completed mage item, pressure waves and trades more confidently while tracking Twisted Fate's main counters.

Win conditions

Use controlled wave states to threaten short trades and force Twisted Fate to respect (E) range.
Capitalize on Twisted Fate's Gold Card cooldowns by landing (E) and following up with burst damage.
After level 6, leverage (R) mobility to pick off Twisted Fate or roam and impact side lanes first.
