Ability text as Riot writes it, in both languages.
Orb of Deception
Ahri sends out and pulls back her orb, dealing magic damage on the way out and true damage on the way back.
Fox-Fire

Combos
E → Q → W
Charm opener
Find an unobstructed E line, then aim Q through the target. W adds nearby damage; Charm improves the window but does not guarantee the full sequence.
R → E → Q → W
Angle before commitment
Use an available R cast for the E angle. Check remaining recasts and an exit before advancing; a takedown is not guaranteed to replenish them.
Q → move → optional R
Return-path practice
Q deals true damage on return. Compare walking and an available R to align that return; do not spend your only escape to chase a missed orb.
