Playing as Ashe

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Poke with Volley

    Poke with Volley (W) whenever it's up: it applies the Frost Shot (passive) slow, and its cooldown drops from 18 to 4 seconds as you rank it up.

  2. Kite whoever charges you

    Kite the bruisers who run at you: each auto slows them with Frost Shot (passive), and Ranger's Focus (Q) boosts your attack speed.

  3. Fire your arrow across the map

    Fire Enchanted Crystal Arrow (R) from far away to help another lane: the farther the arrow travels, the longer the stun.

  4. Send your hawk before going in

    Send Hawkshot (E) over an objective or a brush before going in: the hawk reveals the area for 5 seconds, and the spell has two charges.

Playing against Katarina

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Stay away from her daggers

    Stay away from her daggers on the ground: when she picks one up, Voracity (passive) hits every nearby enemy, and Shunpo (E) lets her blink to it.

  2. Trade after her Shunpo

    Trade right after Shunpo (E): it's her only blink, and it has a 12 to 8 second cooldown, less if she picks up a dagger.

  3. Save your CC for her Lotus

    If you have CC, save it for Death Lotus (R): it's a channel, and interrupting it stops its damage.

  4. Don't count on your healing

    Don't count on your healing during Death Lotus (R): each knife applies Grievous Wounds, which reduces healing received.
