Read from Ahri's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Orianna.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Orianna | Command: Attack poke and a 9s self-shield win her the early trades |
| Level 2 | Orianna | Same at level 2 — her Q costs a flat 35 mana and yours costs 65 |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Charm at 975 answers her, but Command: Attack still edges the poke war |
| Levels 4-5 | Ahri | Your combo and mobility start winning trades and skirmishes here |
| Level 6 | Ahri | At 6 your dashes beat the delay on her 410-radius Shockwave |
| First item | Ahri | Item power kills her before the ball can travel back for a setup |
| Two+ items | Orianna | Command: Shockwave drags your whole team into one point and flips the fight |
Levels 1-2 you eat Command: Attack with no way to punish her positioning, and Command: Protect self-shields her out of every trade you start, giving her the clear early edge. Track Orianna Command: Shockwave: 110s at rank 1, 410 radius, and it launches you toward the BALL — so track the ball, not her. Orianna's Command: Attack harass and her Command: Protect self-shield make early trades hers since she zones you off the wave for free, but by level 3 charm at 975 answers the poke pattern.
