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 Varus

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Back off with his Blight on you

    Back off after taking a few autos: each one applies a Blight stack from Blighted Quiver (W), and his spells detonate them for damage based on your max health.

  2. Engage while he charges

    If you can engage, go in while he charges Piercing Arrow (Q): charging slows him, and he has no dash to escape.

  3. Leave his hail of arrows

    Get out of the Hail of Arrows (E) zone fast: the desecrated ground slows you and reduces the healing you receive.

  4. Spread out from the chained ally

    When an ally is caught by Chain of Corruption (R), move away from them fast: the corruption spreads to nearby champions, but dies out if you get far enough in time.
