Matchup plan

Against Akali, Ahri can take Aery for early poke, but Akali's Doran's Shield + Revitalize gives strong sustain, making it hard to pressure. Electrocute is better for burst and securing kills. Fast build, with CC and CDR to better limit Akali's engages and assist your jungler. Second item: choose between Horizon Focus and Lich Bane. Pick Lich Bane if enemy team is squishy and you're ahead; otherwise, Horizon Focus.
