Annie vs Ahri

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 10, 2026

Overview

Use (R) to find picks and follow up with (Q) and (W) burst combos to punish Ahri's mobility reliance.
Pressure Ahri early to deny her safe scaling and prevent her from controlling wave and roaming.
Conserve mana by avoiding unnecessary (W) pushes to maintain pick threat and lane presence.

Trading pattern

Trade aggressively when passive stun is ready using (Q) + (W) + auto to burst before Ahri reacts.
Punish Ahri immediately after she wastes (E) or (R) to engage safely.
Avoid extended trades if (E) is available; focus on quick bursts and disengage.

Danger windows

Respect (E) and (R) availability as she can pick or escape effectively.
Avoid extended trades if (E) or (Q) on wave is up, as she punishes with return damage.
Be cautious pushing wave with (W) and low mana to prevent vulnerability to all-ins or roams.

Early game

Play cautiously pre-6 as (E) punishes extended trades and her poke is strong.
Use (E) shield proactively to mitigate poke and look for stun setups when Ahri mispositions.
Avoid pushing with (W) early to prevent vulnerability to Ahri's all-ins or roams.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks (R), enabling strong pick potential and burst damage; use it to force plays.
First completed AP item boosts burst and wave control, increasing kill pressure.
Respect Ahri's level 6 (R) and first mage item which enhance her waveclear and pick threat.

Win conditions

Secure kills by landing (R) followed by (Q) and (W) burst combos before Ahri reacts.
Deny Ahri calm scaling by pressuring early and punishing missed (E) or (R) cooldowns.
Use (R) to roam after pushing or kills to snowball map pressure and team advantage.

Tip: For Annie vs Ahri, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Mid lane check.
