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 Xayah

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Stay out of her feathers' path

    Don't stand between Xayah and her feathers on the ground: Bladecaller (E) pulls them back to her, and 3 feathers passing through you root you.

  2. Engage when the ground is clear

    If you can engage, go in when she has no feathers on the ground: without them, Bladecaller (E) can't root you.

  3. Wait for her to land

    During Featherstorm (R), hold your spells: she's untargetable for 1.5 seconds, then lands, leaving a line of feathers.
