Ahri on Spellweaver: five Spellweavers at level 8, and six with an emblem on Sett or Lillia, which most games build. Every cast adds Ability Power, and Ahri casts the most. It places in the lower half at high ranks.

Overview

Take it when Ahri comes early and a Frying Pan with a Rod can make the Spellweaver Emblem for Sett or Lillia. Invoker Ahri Morgana and Blossom Ahri use the same Ahri and place better, so this is the line for when their Invoker or Blossom units do not come.
