How to play as Ahri

Hold Charm(E) for Naafiri's Hounds' Pursuit(R); Ahri players say the dash is not unstoppable and Naafiri's packmates are behind her during it, so the charm can stop the engage.

Use Fox-Fire(W)'s movement speed to sidestep Darkin Daggers(Q); if Naafiri throws both daggers, that is a safer moment to step up and poke.

Ahri's Charm(E) stops movement abilities, and Hounds' Pursuit(R) is a dash; Naafiri's packmates trail behind her during the cast, leaving the dash less able to screen the charm.
