Tips for Playing as Naafiri with Ahri

Across the sands of Shurima, a chorus of howls rings out. It is the call of the dune hounds, voracious predators who form packs and compete for the right to hunt in these barren lands. Among them, one pack stands above all, for they are driven not only by canine instincts, but by the ancient power of the Darkin.

Advice to Understand How Ahri Will Play

Initiate team fights using Charm, and chase down stragglers with Spirit Rush.

Spirit Rush enables Ahri's abilities, it opens up paths for Charm, helps double hitting with Orb of Deception, and closes to make use of Fox-Fire.

Use Charm to set up your combos, it will make landing Orb of Deception and Fox-Fire dramatically easier.
