[4.3] Ashe Guide - Ashe, the Queen of kiting
Ashe, the Queen of kiting
Pros
- Easy to pick up (also has a great range of 600)
- Great utility (hawkshot can literally ruin the enemy jgl's day by letting your team know where he is + global ult and slow on attacks)
- can reveal invisible units (Akali in shroud, Wards, Kha'Zix ult)
- Good learning curve with high skill ceiling (Champ is depending on how good you can kite)
- useful even when playing from behind
Cons
- has no mobility skills
- has an easy kit => missing outplay mechanics
- compared to other ADC's relativly low dmg (especially no burst)
- if you are bad at kiting the champ is mediocore

Item Build Description
Additional information on the items
 Blade of the Ruined King
aka BorK | Great first item on
 Ashe
. You are guaranteed to get of the 3 attack passive and stick this way to your target even better. The high damage from BorK will often surprise other ADC's who take
 Stormrazor
as first pick. |
| Splits your AA's on multiple targets to slow? That's great for skirmishes and team fights. Runaan's also helps you to farm minions way faster. | |
Great item with the magic on-hit and heal while below 50% hp. Preparing this item against a
 Lux
or
 Seraphine
support for resistance to their poking is great. Should always be bought in games against AP champ. | |
| Great statstick. Improves her AA dmg despite that her AA does not crit in the classic way. | |
Great armor pen item. Highest raw dmg and additional grievious wounds to help your team with that (especially useful with
 Runaan's Hurricane
| |
| Only great if you play poke builds (lethality Ashe) | |
| If you need additional protection against AP comps Maw is great. Works especially good against burst champs. | |
If the team has 3 tanks you want to pick up a cleaver as addition to BorK and Mortal Reminder. You stack the passive armor shred really fast with your
 Ranger's Focus
. | |
[immortal shieldbow] | Another great defensive pick up. The lifeline often can prevent you from dying and the bonus vamp during lifeline helps you to heal up again. |
 Phantom Dancer
aka PD | Really powerful item for you. Fully stacked you gain 65% attack speed and 12 movespeed. Can be a good first item as well. |
 Lord Dominik's Regards
aka LDR | Decent option if you don't get 100% crit otherwise, else go
 Mortal Reminder
. |
| Serylda's is kinda really bad because you already got slow and it only affects your [ashe:2] | |
If you play against
 Karma
or
 Shen
you might wanna pick up this to get throu their shields. | |
 Bloodthirster
aka BT | Great as additonal sustain. The extra shield is also great against dive. |
| High AD, some AS and a big slow for 1 sec.. the item is strong but i wouldn't buy it on Ashe often |
Wit's End
Infinity Edge
Muramana
Maw of Malmortius
Black Cleaver
Serylda's Grudge
Serpent's Fang
Ashe Runes
Best Runes for Ashe
Keystone: 99.9% you wanna take
Lethal Tempo
to quickly stack [ashe:1] and stick to your targets. Thanks to
Frost Shot
you always have some extra dmg which makes your surprisingly strong in early skirmishes on the lane. The 0.1% rest percent are between
Fleet Footwork
and
Kraken Slayer
. (IMPORTANT: THIS IS FOR ADC ASHE, NOT SUPPORT ASHE)
Domination: Those are the ones i chose mostly between. Triumph is viable, but i rather stick to weakness for the constant extra dmg.
-
![Weakness]()
Weakness
: Is constantly applied with your slow, definitly the best rune for her to pick up. -
![Gathering Storm]()
Gathering Storm
: Great scaling rune, but overall weaker on Ashe, since you aren't all about damage, but your utility as well. -
![Hunter Vampirism]()
Hunter Vampirism
: Extra stats and sustain.. good rune but might take a while to stack.
Weakness
Gathering Storm
Hunter Vampirism
Resolve:
-
![Bone Plating]()
Bone Plating
great if you often wanna trade. Wait for Bone Plating to be off cooldown and go fight the enemy, retreat, farm and repeat. it is bad against poke lanes. -
![Hunter Titan]()
Hunter Titan
extra HP is always cool but mostly picked for the tenacity. Best rune against heavy cc teams. -
![Conditioning]()
Conditioning
free stats scaling into the game.. Saves you in longer games lots of gold.
Bone Plating

Inspiration:
-
![Hunter Genius]()
Hunter Genius
usually my go to rune since it gives extra ability haste to use [ashe:ult] more often. You can dictate this way when you get picks. -
![Manaflow Band]()
Manaflow Band
Ashe uses a lot of the blue juice, so this might help you poke the enemy in lane and also gives a bit extra AD if you grab
![Muramana]()
Muramana
-
![Nimbus Cloak]()
Nimbus Cloak
often underestimated rune. Can help you kite better around the enemy.

Since this guides focuses on ADC ashe i wont talk much about support Ashe and just present runes which i used.

You got longer range than
Miss Fortune
and you both scale equally. Just try to get not hit by her
Double Up
and you should be fine. If your team does not have many stuns try to position that you can interupt her ult

Blade Whirl

Why is Ashe a good ADC
Compared to other ADC's Ashe does not deliver as much damage as the most of them, but you are still an ADC which will deliver high amounts of damage once you scale into the game. Ashe's biggest value comes from her utility. You can whenever you
Hawkshot
is up scout the enemy jungle where their jungler might path to (not like ppl in solo q look at the map, but in a team it is really strong). This is a great hinderance because this way your jungler is free to counter jungle the enemy jungle before he even notices, and your laners can prepare for ganks. Another great part of Ashe's kit is her slow from
Frost Shot
which gives your team always the chance to catch up to the enemy champion and secure kills. You are even one of the few ADC's who can set up kills anywhere on the map with
Enchanted Crystal Arrow
. See your mid and jgl prey on the fed enemy
Yone
an ult from the fountain might make the kill possible with the long stun.
