Read from Twisted Fate's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Ahri.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Ahri | Level 1 goes to Ahri because her Charm and Orb poke punish your feeble early autos before Stacked Deck exists. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Level 2 tips to you as Wild Cards plus a second point lets you clear and match her push. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 is even once both spike; your stun answers her Charm on cooldown. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 stay a skill lane where trades hinge on landing your Yellow card versus her Charm. |
| Level 6 | Ahri | Level 6 favours Ahri because Spirit Rush lets her dodge your one stun and out-duel you. |
| First item | Ahri | At first item Ahri's Luden's burst combo out-damages your Rod-of-Ages tempo. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | With two items Ahri's mobility and recasts win isolated picks despite your global. |
Level 1-2 favours Ahri: her Orb of Deception poke and Charm out-range your weak early auto game while your Pick a Card is still clunky, though you steady the wave by 2 once Wild Cards clears the caster minions. Track Charm is 12s flat and starts every kill pattern — when she whiffs it, you own a 12-second window to card-auto-Q. With Stacked Deck online you shove first-clear waves fast and your third-auto proc plus a Wild Cards makes trading even; hold Yellow card so any Charm attempt is answered by a stun.
