Guide to Synergizing Nautilus and Ahri

Tips for Playing as Nautilus with Ahri

While ganking, consider aiming Dredge Line at nearby terrain and following it up with Riptide for a higher hit rate.

Riptide has a delayed blast timing on activation - you can use this while running away or when enemies are incoming to serve as a deterrent.

Advice to Understand How Ahri Will Play

Initiate team fights using Charm, and chase down stragglers with Spirit Rush.

Spirit Rush enables Ahri's abilities, it opens up paths for Charm, helps double hitting with Orb of Deception, and closes to make use of Fox-Fire.

Use Charm to set up your combos, it will make landing Orb of Deception and Fox-Fire dramatically easier.

By being on the same team as Nautilus, she decreases their win rate by -0.4% to 48.4%. This demonstrates that there is not really a strong strategic relationship between Nautilus and Ahri that allows them to perform worse together than alone.

Ahri has a lower difficulty than Nautilus. That means Nautilus players don't need to be very careful when enlisting Ahri teammates to go into battle on the same side as, as they will need a lower level of skill to play well with you.
