Tricks

Use of skills

• Frost Shot is good for staying close to enemies trying to escape. Performing basic attacks and using abilities reset the slow.
• Frost Shot makes it easier to last hit minions. Because the basic attacks of Ashe against enemies that are affected by his passive slow deal bonus damage, it is much easier to deal deadly blows to minions.
  • Attempts to auto-attack once when the minion is less than half health and once immediately after.
• Ranger Concentration is a great skill to prevent enemies from escaping. The bonus attack speed and quick burst of basic attacks cause the slow of Frost Shot continually resets, making it much easier to stay close to targets.
• Ranger Concentration can be used to take down turrets quickly. This is even more deadly if there are minions nearby to help Ashe in acumular Concentration.
  • Attacking turrets does not generate stacks, so Ashe will have to rely on nearby enemy minions to be able to cast Concentration of the Ranger without stopping.
• Download is the safest and most reliable way to apply Frost Shot at multiple targets.
• Shock can be used as a kind of basic attack resetter. Launching it immediately after a basic attack will allow Ashe launches another attack faster than waiting between attacks.
• Falcon Shot is a scouting tool that is much safer than using sentries, as it has a global range and charges. It can be used to explore bushes and fog of war without having to move too much.
  • Cooldown reduction does not reduce the time between casts of Falcon Shot, but it does affect reload time.
  • Try to conserve charges during the first levels.
• Enchanted Crystal Arrow is a global stun that can be used to save yourself or allies from a long distance, initiate team fights, or kill enemy champions (although the damage is not very good). However, it is quite difficult to aim. Unlike ¡¡Supermegacohete Requetemortal !! of Jinx, the arrow doesn't pick up speed as it travels.
  • When you are about to use Enchanted Crystal Arrow, try to guess where your target will move and aim there instead of directly aiming where they are standing. Doing this increases the chances of landing the shot.
  • The closer you are to the enemy, the less effective it will be Enchanted Crystal Arrow.

Use of master's degrees

• Warlord's Bloodlust Warlord's Bloodlust works well with Ashe due to extra lifesteal, especially when low on health. It also allows you to stay online and depend less on Potions of Life.
• Decree of the Thunderlord is good if Ashe is capable of constantly attacking enemy champions.
• Fervor of Battle Fervor of Battle requires that Ashe continuously attacks enemy champions in order to get the most bonus attack damage.

Use of objects

• Given that Ashe is a marksman, she greatly benefits from stacking attack damage, attack speed, and critical strike chance.
  • Building critical hit chance not only gives you Ashe's chance to critically hit with your basic attacks, but also improve your damage against targets hit by Frosty Shot.
• Your starting object should be a Doran's sword or one Sacrifice.
  • La Sword of Doran is for early game durability while Sacrifice is for a gold advantage at the start of the game.
• The boots of choice for Ashe are almost always the Greaves of the Berserker, as it grants a good amount of attack speed.
• Infinity Edge is an essential item because it not only increases the attack damage of Ashe, but also buff bonus damage against targets affected by Frosty Shot.
• El Rapid Fire Cannon is good for taking down turrets faster while the Runaan Hurricane is good to apply Frost Shot at multiple enemies at once.
• Depending on the composition of the enemy team, Ashe can buy Memories of Lord Dominik o Deadly Reminder. Memories of Lord Dominik is most useful against teams with tanks that accumulate a lot of health; if not then Deadly Reminder works just the same for life.
• Bloodthirsty works well due to the high amount of lifesteal and the shield's passive.
  • Dance of Death is an alternative due to damage reduction, cooldown reduction, and bleed effect.
• Defensive items include the Mercurial Scimitar for the active cleanser, the Veil of the Banshee for protection against enemy skill and Guardian Angel for resuscitation.

Counter

• Ashe is a very soft champion with very little mobility. Concentrate on killing her as quickly as possible.
• Frost Shot is very dangerous, especially due to its heavy late-game slow. Try as much as possible to avoid getting hit by any of the basic attacks or abilities of Ashe.
• Ranger's Concentration is a pretty strong pushing tool, and if Ashe goes unnoticed, she can take down turrets with almost no problem. However, using this ability forces her to stand still similar to Kog'Maw when you use Download Bioarcana. Catch her as fast as possible and kill her before she can push.
• There are spaces between the arrows Download. If you cannot escape the arrows, try to hide behind the minions or position yourself between those spaces.
• Enchanted Crystal Arrow is deadly if you are hit with it, but it is fairly easy to evade. Don't move straight as it gives Ashe a much easier chance to hit it. Instead, make erratic movement patterns to make it harder for him to predict where you will go.
• Given that Ashe relies on basic attacks to do most of its damage, tanks that can build a Coat of Thorns should be purchased to reduce the damage you deal to them as well as return it to you.
