Key combo
Power spike & playstyle
Spikes hard at level 6 with Spirit Rush and again at first item (Deathfire/DFG in S3); use mobility to snowball skirmishes but respect being squishy.
How to play Ahri in League Classic
Ahri in League Classic is the premier safe-blind mid: waveclear, sustain off her old passive, and three dashes nobody else has. Farm with Q through early levels and look for charm picks the moment the enemy jungler shows elsewhere. Post-6 with DFG, one landed E is a death sentence for any squishy — DFG, Q, W, ignite, done. In fights hold ult charges defensively until their assassin commits, then turn the dive around. Roam constantly; Classic's slow lanes reward the mid who shows up to bot first.
