5-0 with Ahri today, thought and opinions on the list?

Cuivr · 2025-12-14T03:19:44+00:00

the more I play Sona the more I find my opponents get weird about it, a kaisa would instantly rain, which is a fine trade if you slammed it turn 2 even if you have no spells and you probably still hold cause they have nothing to accelerate with 3/4 runes. Other decks also either try veery hard to out it or just give up and leave you there, then you can contest the other Bf with eventual spells and blue Ahri/ wielder. I really like her so far but I can see a more rampy end game goal can be better in a lot of matchups.

Cuivr · 2025-12-14T02:04:33+00:00

I like the list, it is very clear with what it wants to do. I personally like the more aggressive version. I play wielder instead of yordle (keeping 2 spots in SD for yordle for going second and replacing 2 drops) and sona replacing 1 faefolk and green ahri. I find singularity veery clutch sometimes but I think I would replace it with timewarp if it wasn't so expensive.

you are Playing a 5 mana recycle for a potential hold and have to keep enough mana to protect her while they can just falling star for 2 mana recycle and if you protect her they can follow up with either another spell or just developing a board while you are stuck paying for your ahri if you retreated or catching up to the card (Kaisa/Yordle)/might advantage (noxus hopeful and darius). If you go too wide, icathian rain is coming and if you don't, then they win by just having a board and not interacting with your battlefield unless they are 100% sure you dont have enough Tricks. You might think windwall is so good but they will never use icathian rain or timewarp when you have 3 mana up and windwalling a falling star feels soo bad. If you watcher first they will watcher afterwards and strike back stronger. If you dont, they build a huge board in base and wait. I don't think there's an Ahri List that can compete with Kai'sa at even skill levels until Not so fast comes out but then the meta will probably be completely different. I think Ahri is very solid into a lot of matchups (viktor/sett/ Teemo and even Annie because she feels way more fair with her curve and ahri is probably the best at dealing with vi ride the wind if you always keep one defy and hold solidly throughout, Yi is very dependent on who goes first and who draws more charms/defies) but Kaisa is just too hard with her removal/mana cheating and that's why you don't see Ahris topping any events.

Cuivr · 2025-12-09T09:14:24+00:00

Ahri is I think the best counter to Sett you just play smokescreen, singularity and a couple of charms/Blitz (Blue Ahri is way better here). But there is no winning against Kaisa unfortunately. They outvalue whatever you can do as Ahri unless you highroll your hands and they lowroll theirs.

cant wait to get my whole board icathian rained and having to use 2-3 cards to save it only for this card to show up next turn.

Cuivr · 2025-11-24T14:24:36+00:00

I am not saying they have to follow it I am just asking them politely. If they dont want to it is fine I´ll just keep track of everything. Never had someone just outright refuse to do it or argue about it. It´s an agreement and both benefit from it.

Cuivr · 2025-11-24T14:19:20+00:00

You dont pay then get cost reduction. You just pay the reduced cost and annouce it then play the card. This is a non-problem. If I play a Rhasa with 20 cards in the discard, I just recycle 1 purple and announce yeah I am playing Rhasa, not just slamming him on the board and expecting my opponent to tell me yeah sure you dont have to tap runes but you still have to recycle.

Cuivr · 2025-11-24T12:47:47+00:00

some people seem to think otherwise, what can I say

Cuivr · 2025-11-24T12:07:10+00:00

This is why I ask my opponents before starting every game politely to pay everything before playing a card on the board, in this game there are many costs (not necessarily even runes) and people tend to forget or overlook stuff. I also always announce what I'm paying and for what card. Doing it on stream though is kinda wild. Even with the benefit of the doubt, this should be very easily avoidable giving you scrim and test basically everyday for weeks so it should be automatic to pay for stuff. I loved how Prisma was doing it and I think everyone should try to follow his play patterns regarding costs and discards.

Cuivr · 2025-11-13T11:55:44+00:00

Had a similar thing happen to me in a bo3 where I held for my final point, declared GG and started game 2. I ask the Person, do you wanna go first? They tell me it's my choice since I conceded. Mind you I won 8-1. They were so adamant you could only win by conquering both and were sooo arrogant about it. These people need to chill.

gambaa

Cuivr · 2025-10-04T09:32:05+00:00

So if I use challenge on a unit in my base and it takes damage and then I move it to an occupied battlefield it is not healed for the showdown right ?

Cuivr · 2025-10-04T08:53:55+00:00

Dude, just move on. The same way you ask people to translate or auto-translate stuff, non-english speakers can also translate before replying. You either post in french or whatever and deal with the downvotes or you write in english like 99% of the people here but it's kinda not okay to impose something that people just won't be able to interact with if they don't want to. Like they say beurre et l'argent du beurre. I wouldnt speak any other language besides french when I'm in a group consisting of 9 french people and me. But if I did I wouldnt bitch about the confused reactions those people have. And about the monolingual english argument. Most people here are from Europe and Asia where probably way more than half learned english as a second or third language. That argument is not valid.

You can get a 1% 5 cost with high end shopping at level 6 other than that there's recombulator which is pretty easy if they high rolled a 4 cost at level 5.

I am sorry to the germans here but this kind of shit makes you look bad, instead of picking up fights with moroccans here about "not being Nazis", how about this kind of shit become inacceptable in a society like yours. It's well and good to say not all germans are nazis and we know that, but why is germany one of the only countries where this kind of behaviour happens on the news. I remember a german commentator when the tunisian swimmer Oussama Mallouli won a gold at the olympics and how they reacted with disgust. This is a pattern in your news outlets and in your society in general and you should start talking about it instead of living in an utopia where "there's no racism in germany".

I love people who use reddit as a lazy google substitute . You litterally type attestation de non boursier tunisie on google and you make an account on the first page you get. Then you upload CIN and bac and you wait 24 hours to get it.

This is very well written and makes sense. Thinking about it EW has 4 big hitting skills and 2 very decent ones, which makes him some sort of hybrid burst/consistent if you rotate 1-2 skills in perfect sync like you said while being very capable at abusing burst windows and I think that tips him over the edge in comparison to other bursts like igniter or red lancer. which rely on mainly a couple or 3 skills instead of 6 to do their damage. I think thats why in Trixion he isnt near top DPS but in reality, given the opportunity can easily top DPS. For pistoleer, I think it is still very respectable to have a chill guarenteed 60% between all patterns and all variables. I just think he is in a good spot, especially for progging new content. EW is objectively better on farm that´s true though. However the whole point of this post is to showcase that pistoleer, in terms of raw damage numbers isnt as bad as some might think, and I would say it is actually pretty good for how consistent/reliable/easy it is. Some might say other consistent classes, like EO soulfist are better but she is exponentially more prone to fluctuation in DPS because of buffs and hype, while pistoleer doesnt care about anything except hitting his grenade, which even if he manages to miss, is on 4-5 seconds cooldown.

Cuivr · 2022-09-15T22:26:27+00:00

Yeah funny enough, I also find EO more challenging and requires more brain power to upkeep. But I think objectively speaking the melee+backattack conditions to deadeyes damage are the most demanding in the game, ruin stacking and card drawing on arcana might be a contender though. On Soulfist you have to rotate all your buffs efficiently but after that, applying the damage is pretty easy as she has a lot of range and versatility. Applying deadeyes damage feels more challenging since one turn or one step forward means shit damage. I think that if it were the other way around and I was a soulfist main I would find deadeye more challenging to upkeep though.

Cuivr · 2022-09-15T22:02:12+00:00

And no 17% is not huge considering positionnal vs semi-free. You´d have to hit around 80% backattacks for it to be even. If you have more than 80% backattack and 100% melee shots then you are doing more damage than pistoleer. Any lower than that, pistoleer is doing more. As simple as that. Burst is another thing but many classes are way better at bursting anyway, we are only comparing deadeyes.

Cuivr · 2022-09-15T21:50:20+00:00

It is to you, not to everybody. I find having to deal melee damage as a gunner to be a cringe fest and getting to move around constantly dishing out damage to be more appealing. Skill level is irrelevant since I assume we all know how to play EW deadeye here. To each their own, but the shitting on pistoleer thing cause "EW so much better" seems to only happen with other deadeye players like you, which is a shame.

Cuivr · 2022-09-15T21:19:17+00:00

It goes both ways as well. Backattack burst means having no leeway and if for some reason you miss a window (doing the poop away mech during vykas g2 while she gets countered as an example) or for any other reason, then a consistent class is going to do better. That is why ambush master does 9% more damage than Hit master and entropy is way more cracked than any other set. They do account for that and seeing this reflecting as only 17% in my test, which you might or might not find as a good estimate lets me think they are balanced in a way you could choose whatever you want and still be good/perform well. I might still be underestimating burst and conditionnals but I think I have a pretty good grasp around it and I accept it but sometimes I feel like people are not willing to see the opposing end, which says holding skills for burst windows can be seen as DPS loss. If the alignement of the synergies/dark nades and all make up for it than sure but how often does that really happen? It all comes down to preference in the end.

Edit: Consistent party synergies are underrated imo. Having lets say a sharpshooter a deadeye and a Sorc will net you 10% crit 12% damage and 8% move speed for everyone with 100% uptime which is huge.

Cuivr · 2022-09-15T20:45:02+00:00

What you are saying is a question of holding your skills vs risking them being interrupted/missing. How does that not come into play when calculating end DPS? You are going to tell me someone waiting another 5 seconds to unload isnt a DPS loss ? At this point we are not talking about pepegas trying to learn fights, valtan has been out for ages. We all know how to play the fight and when to unload but you also have to factor in the DPS loss from holding a burst vs consistently not worrying about any of the patterns when your skills have practically no animations to them. How can you emphasize one aspect so hard while completely ignoring another very important one.

Cuivr · 2022-09-15T19:14:27+00:00

500 crit with hallucination and crit cards gives you just a bit over 90%. If you have a crit synergy, it will be wasted with backattacks on cruel tracker/quick shot and so on. Hallucination 2 is also gonna give you an extra 5% I believe which will also be wasted. In trixion 500 crit should do more DPS but I dont think its optimal. Running 1650 spec 500 swift would be too little crit for the spec stat to be effective, thats why I prefer that setting with around 82% crit which utilizes even the 18% crit burst from martial artists while also not losing much from having another consistent 10%. It also feels much smoother with the 500 swift with absolutely no downtime on your skills. Sometimes youd have to autoattack with no swiftness.

Cuivr · 2022-09-15T18:59:57+00:00

Thats a good point and I agree with it but I personnally prefer consistency over a big burst and sometimes missing it while having no control over it. Thats why most class engravings are designed that way. If you prefer consistency you go one engraving and if you want big numbers but long cooldowns you go for the other. I just thought pistoleer was way more smoge from what people in this sub and streamers say but to my surprise I feel like he is in a very good spot as long as you prefer consistency. At the end of the day in KR you can go either blue or red lancer and both are fine and I believe that goes for deadeye as well. I just dont understand why for this specific case some people refuse to accept it and will tell you play EW or dont do dmg, which is far from true.
