Playing as Ashe
Tips to maximize your impact
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 Seraphine
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Dodge her Beat Drop
Dodge Beat Drop (E), especially if you're already slowed: it roots a slowed target and stuns an immobilized one.
- Back off before her third spell
Count her basic spells and back off before the third: Stage Presence (passive) casts it twice, whether it damages, slows or shields.
- Spread out from your allies
Spread out from your allies against Encore (R): each champion hit extends its range, and a charmed ally near you lets it reach you.
- Target her: she has no dash
If you can engage, target Seraphine: her kit has no dash to escape.
