Ashe is a marksman who can play in the Dragon Lane. She's a versatile champion who offers a mix of both utility and damage to your team. Ashe's Frost Shot allows her auto attacks and Volley to slow enemies, furthermore her Enchanted Crystal Arrow is a great initiate tool which can create great opportunities for her team. With all of Ashe's Crowd Control, she becomes a valuable asset to any team. Her kit is pretty straightforward but offers depth in mastering positioning and timing.
Ashe's auto attacks and Volley slow targets hit for a few seconds. Attacks against enemies slowed by Frost Shot deal bonus damage. Ashe's critical strikes do not deal extra damage. Instead, they increased Frost Shot's slow.
Frost Shot makes kiting with Ashe much smoother. The slows makes it difficult for enemies to chase you down. However, it does mean that Ashe doesn't deal as much damage compared to other marksmen since her crits don't deal additional damage.
Passive: Whilst Ranger's Focus is not active, Ashe stores 2 Focus. Attacks grant an additional stack of Focus (up to 6).
Active: For the next few seconds, attacks consume a stack of Focus to fire with additional Attack Speed and Damage.
You usually want to wait until you have max stacks (6) with Ranger's Focus before activating it. This will give you the most damage possible. You can tell how many stacks you have by looking at the number above the ability.
Ashe fires 5 arrows in a cone, dealing physical damage and slowing the enemies thanks to her Frost Shot. Volley can be blocked by minions and monsters. Enemies can also block multiple arrows but only take damage once.
Using Volley is all about getting the timing and accuracy right. As you level up Volley, the area increases, making it much stronger and easier to hit multiple enemies with different arrows. Always use Volley to check brushes; it has a very low cooldown and can save your life.
Ashe fires a hawk that grants vision of enemies along its path.
Recast: Explodes the hawk, granting vision of the area for a few seconds.
In the early game, look to fire Hawkshot towards the enemy jungle to spot where the enemy jungler is heading. Hawkshot makes playing Ashe a lot safer since you can spot enemy threats that might be close by. Hawkshot can also reveal invisible enemies and wards, which can be destroyed if attacked quickly enough.
Ashes launches an arrow of ice that suns the first champion hit and deals magic damage. The stun increases with the distance of the arrow's flight.
Recast: You can hold and drag to steer the arrow's flight path. The arrow can only be steered from its original launch angle by a fixed amount.
When steering Enchanted Crystal Arrow, Ashe can still move around, so be wary of where you are positioned. Look to use Ashe's ultimate when available to catch out enemies. Aiming the arrow down narrow choke points will make your chances of hitting the arrow much higher.
Terminus gives Ashe Armor Penetration to help with her damage vs Tanks and Armor and Magic Resist when auto attacking, helping with her survivability.
Runaan's Hurricane has extra bolts that spread to nearby enemies, which also works with Ashe's Frost Shot, allowing you to slow multiple enemies simultaneously.
Wit's End gives Ashe a lot of attack speed and on-hit damage from the passive, helping her damage output.
Onto the runes, we have:
Lethal Tempo synergizes exceptionally well with Ashe since she wants to auto-attack a lot to slow enemies and benefit from her item build.
Brutal gives Ashe more auto-attack damage throughout the game, helping with her damage output.
Coup de Grace provides additional damage that helps burst enemies when they are low on health.
Giant Slayer is another good option when playing against bruisers and Tanks that build a lot of health.
Alacrity gives Ashe attack speed, which synergizes well with her kit and build to help her deal more damage.
Bone Plating is a great choice for surviving all-ins from enemy champions. As the carry for your team, you'll get a lot of focus from the enemies.
Ashe's early game isn't the best. She doesn't deal a lot of damage until she gets a few levels and items. When last hitting minions, use Volley to poke enemies and take advantage of your extra range. Only look to engage and trade onto enemies when your support goes in or once you have max stacks of Ranger's Focus. Remember that your Hawkshot has long range, so aim for the maximum range when you use it to get more vision. In the early game, use Hawkshot in the enemy jungle or river to spot where the enemy jungler is going.
Late Game is where Ashe can shine. At this stage of the game, you will have a lot of attack speed to help with her kiting and damage output. You will need to play around the objectives and play with your team. Enchanted Crystal Arrow is a game-changer for Ashe in the Late Game. If you can catch a target with your arrow, your team can follow up to help you deal damage. When in a teamfight, ensure you stay in the backline as you are one of the main damage sources for your team.
Ashe is a great starter champion to start your adventures in the Dragon Lane. Her abilities are super simple and she has a great play style for beginners that are just starting to play Wild Rift.
