Patch 16.2.1

What They Do

Ashe is a utility-focused marksman who provides constant crowd control through and . She lacks mobility but can initiate fights from across the map using and provides global vision for her team with .

Abilities (What to Watch For)

Ability	What You'll See	What It Means For You
	Frosty visual effects on her arrows and the targets she hits	Every attack slows you. She deals more damage to targets already slowed by her. Her critical strikes don't do extra damage but instead apply a significantly stronger slow.
	Ashe's bow glows and she begins firing a rapid-fire flurry of arrows	After 4 basic attacks, she can activate to gain a massive Attack Speed boost. Do not attempt to stat-check her while this flurry is active as her DPS spikes tremendously.
	A wide cone of arrows fired in a direction	This is her primary poke and waveclear. It applies her slow to everyone hit. It can be blocked by minions, so always stay behind your wave to avoid the damage and slow.
	A hawk spirit flying in a straight line, granting vision	This provides zero combat stats but grants her team vision across the entire map. If she uses this, she is effectively down an ability for the next 90-50 seconds in an all-in.
	A massive crystal arrow flying across the map	A global ultimate that stuns the first champion hit. The stun duration increases based on distance traveled, up to 3.5 seconds. It also slows and damages enemies near the impact site.

Respect

!
Level 6 Power Spike→Once she has , any hit from her arrow usually results in a kill if her support or jungler is nearby to follow up.
!
Extended Auto-Attack Trades→Between the slow from and the flurry damage from , she is the queen of kiting. If you can't burst her, she will run you down.
!
Global Pick Potential→Even if she isn't in your lane, can hit you from across the map. Always keep an eye on the minimap if she is missing or in another lane.
!
Vision Advantage→Using , she can track your jungler easily, making it very difficult for your team to execute surprise ganks against her.

Punish

+
is on cooldown→Her only reliable way to poke or slow you from distance is gone. This is your window to walk up and contest the wave or look for a trade.
+
She has zero stacks of →She needs 4 autos to activate her flurry. If you jump on her before she can stack it on minions, her DPS is significantly lower.
+
is missed or on cooldown→Without her arrow, she has no hard CC or self-peel. She is an immobile target with no dash; dive her or force an all-in immediately.
+
She is isolated without peel→Because she has no built-in mobility, she is incredibly vulnerable to assassins and bruisers. Flank her while is on cooldown to ensure she doesn't see you coming.

Laning Tips

•Always stand behind your minions to ensure hits the wave instead of you.
•Take Cleanse or buy Quicksilver Sash to instantly remove the stun from .
•Her base range is 600, which is longer than most ADCs. Be careful of 'tethering' where she hits you and moves back before you can retaliate.
•If you get hit by and don't have a dash, don't try to run away—you will just be slowed and kited. Either commit to the fight or stay out of her range entirely.
•Watch the 'Focus' stacks under her mana bar. If it's at 4 stacks, her is ready to be activated.
•Ashe has very low base health. High-burst supports like Leona or Nautilus can easily lock her down and kill her in one rotation.

Teamfight Warning

⚠Don't group too tightly in narrow corridors; the impact deals AoE damage and slows everyone nearby.
⚠Ashe will often look to start a fight by firing at a priority target from fog of war.
⚠If she hits a max-range , the stun lasts for 3.5 seconds, which is a guaranteed death sentence in a teamfight.
⚠Focus her first. Her slows can ruin your frontline's ability to engage or peel for your own backline.
⚠Dodge sideways, not backwards, when you see coming. The hitbox is large and travels fast.
