Vex vs Ahri

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Vex is an anti-dash burst mage who must use her passive fear to control Ahri's mobility and win trades.
Maintain lane pressure to deny Ahri a calm scaling lane and prevent her from safely threatening Ahri E picks or roams.

Trading pattern

Trade aggressively when your passive fear is available to proc Electrocute and disrupt Ahri E timing.
Punish Ahri when she uses Ahri Q on the wave or misses Ahri E.
Respect Ahri's Ahri R window; avoid all-ins without your ultimate reset available.

Danger windows

Ahri is most dangerous when Ahri E is available and she has Ahri R for follow-up or escape.
Avoid extended trades if your fear is baited or your R is down, as you become vulnerable.
Punish Ahri's cooldowns on Ahri E and Ahri R by stepping forward for trades or wave pressure.

Early game

Use your passive fear to interrupt Ahri's short trades and prevent her from safely landing Ahri E.
Pressure the wave early to force Ahri into risky positions before level 6 when her Ahri R is down.
Avoid extended trades if your fear is baited or on cooldown, as Ahri can punish your immobility.

Power spikes

Level 6 R is your major spike for engage and reset potential.
First completed AP burst item significantly increases your kill threat.
Respect Ahri's level 6 Ahri R and first completed mage item for her increased mobility and waveclear.

Win conditions

Use your passive fear to control Ahri's dashes and win short trades.
Punish missed Ahri E and Ahri Q usage on minions to force her on the back foot.
Leverage your R level 6 engage and reset to all-in when Ahri's key cooldowns are down or after forcing her Ahri R away.

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