Read from Pantheon's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Ahri.
This is Pantheon's own plan; across 3,975 pooled games the lane is leaning Ahri.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Pantheon | Level 1 favours you because your Comet Spear poke and Mortal Will out-trade Ahri's weak early Q harass. |
| Level 2 | Pantheon | Level 2 favours you since W stun plus empowered Q punishes any step-up while Ahri still lacks Charm. |
| Level 3 | Pantheon | Level 3 favours you as the full E-W-Q point-and-click combo gives a guaranteed all-in she cannot escape. |
| Levels 4-5 | Pantheon | Levels 4-5 favour you because Ahri still has no dash and every whiffed Charm opens a lethal dive. |
| Level 6 | Ahri | Level 6 flips to Ahri: Spirit Rush dodges your W stun and slow Starfall while she pokes from range. |
| First item | Ahri | At first item Ahri favours because Ludens/Malignance lets her one-shot you from outside your gap-close. |
| Two+ items | Ahri | With 2+ items Ahri favours as she kites your single-target dive all fight with Rush and Charm peel. |
Levels 1-2 are yours: you out-trade Ahri's early Q poke with Comet Spear and Mortal Will stacks, and she has no charm yet to punish you. Walk up, last-hit safely, and start chunking her whenever she steps to farm. Track Ahri Charm (E): 12s — every kill pattern starts with it; stay behind minions while it is up. With all three abilities you have a full point-and-click combo: E onto her, W stun, empowered Q. Ahri's Charm (E) is a slow skillshot on a long cooldown, so bait it with a W juke or eat it on minions, then dive her before it comes back.
