Ahri, the Nine-Tailed Fox, is a mage who relies on energy blasts to damage its opponents. She is very mobile for a mage class and has some sustain through her passive. Ahri isn’t a particularly hard champion to play, and you won’t need a lot of time to master the basics.
Key Info Up Front
There are 15 Ahri skins in total. Most of them are gentle and sensual, but there are also some darker themes, such as Coven Ahri. If you wish to purchase a cosmetic for the champion, you can go with something more jovial like Arcade Ahri or a colorful option such as Elderwood Ahri.
Original Ahri
Skin Lore
Ahri has formed a direct link to the invisible powers running through Runeterra. She can utilize this energy and shape it according to her whim. The Nine-Tailed Fox is a very vicious entity, manipulating and toying with its victims before completely destroying them. However, she can develop emotions for her enemies as she retains all their memories after consuming their souls.
Appearance and model
Ahri has a very interesting model. Although she is a humanoid, the champion has 9 large white shaded tails, which separates her from other characters.
Ahri wears oriental boots that combine black, white, and red colors. She has a white skirt with red edges, leaving her legs bare naked. The upper part of her garment is red with a white outline. The top has very wide sleeves, similar to those of traditional Chinese dresses. There are also a few orange details that add to its intricacy.
The Nine-Tailed Fox has long dark blue hair tied with a red ribbon. She also has fox ears.
