Ashe is a ranged marksman champion who excels in the botlane role with exceptional control and utility capabilities.

Core Abilities Overview:

Passive - Frost Shot

• Critical strikes double the slow effect (reverts after 1 second)
• Subsequent attacks deal bonus physical damage to Frosted targets

Q - Ranger's Focus

• Converts normal attacks into 5 mini-arrows with increased damage
• Requires 4 Focus stacks from basic attacks
• Grants bonus attack speed
• Can reset auto-attack timer

W - Volley

• Fires multiple arrows in a cone
• Applies critical slow to champions
• Each target can only be damaged once per cast

E - Hawk Shot

• Reveals an area for 2-5 seconds

R - Enchanted Crystal Arrow

• Fires a global stun projectile
• Stun duration: 1-3.5 seconds based on travel distance
• Deals magic damage and slows nearby enemies
• Hitbox is located at the start of the arrow's final third

Optimal Skill Order:

1. W - Volley
2. Q - Ranger's Focus
3. E - Hawk Shot
4. Max Ultimate whenever possible (levels 6/11/16)

Lane Strategy:

• Start with W for early wave control and poke

Weaknesses:
