Abilities

Riot's own text for each slot, in the order the champion learns them.

PASSIVE Essence Theft

Whenever Ahri hits a target with a spell, she gains a stack of Essence Theft. When she has enough stacks, her next spell that hits an enemy also heals her.

1 Orb of Deception

Ahri sends out and pulls back her orb, dealing magic damage on the way out and true damage on the way back.

2 Fox-Fire

Ahri gains a brief burst of movement speed and releases three fox-fires, that lock onto and attack nearby enemies.

3 Charm

Ahri blows a kiss that damages and charms an enemy it encounters, instantly stopping movement abilities and causing them to walk harmlessly towards her. The target temporarily takes increased damage from Ahri.

ULTIMATE Spirit Rush

Ahri dashes forward and fires essence bolts, damaging nearby enemies. Spirit Rush can be cast up to three times before going on cooldown.
