Ashe Wild Rift Build with Highest Winrate - Guide Runes, Items, and Skill Order

Ashe's Runes

Ashe thrives on runes that amplify her icy arrows. If you're facing a standard team composition, the best way to maximize her damage is this potent combo:

Main Rune: Water Demon Hunter – This rune bolsters her early-game power and gives her the sustain to dominate her lane.

Secondary Runes:

• Giant Slayer – Tanks won't stand a chance. This rune shreds through high-health foes, perfect when that enemy frontline seems impenetrable.
• Simple Shot – Essential for Ashe! This rune rewards her for peppering enemies with slows, granting her bonus true damage.

Ashe, the Support?

While unusual, Ashe can be a surprisingly disruptive support. Prioritize runes that keep her agile and resilient for maximum crowd control:

Main Rune: Water Demon Hunter – Even as support, Ashe needs a bit of bite to trade effectively in lane.

Secondary Runes:

• Revitalize – Enhances her slows and heals, transforming her into a slippery, supportive force.
• Carapace – A boost of armor and health keeps Ashe firing off those icy volleys throughout long team fights.
• Swift Hunter – Essential for any support! Helps her position for crucial slows and her stunning Enchanted Crystal Arrow ultimate.

For a champion who lacks mobility, Ghost is an indispensable choice. It is much more useful than other spells like Barrier or Heal.

Ashe Build

Ashe, the Frost Archer, thrives on precise shots and chilling slows. Here's how to choose the right runes to maximize her icy potential:

The Marksman's Path:  When you crave raw damage, look no further than the Hunter - Waterwalking rune. It fuels your early aggression in the river, while Giant Slayer helps you shred through those bulky enemy tanks later in the game. Finally, Weakness exposes slowed targets, letting you and your allies land those devastating follow-up strikes.

When Tanks Loom Large: Facing a beefy frontline? Giant Slayer becomes your primary rune for that sweet true damage.  Weakness remains your trusty sidekick, ensuring your icy arrows always leave a mark.

The Support Mindset: Ashe can be a surprisingly potent support, raining down slows and vision for her team. For this, Font of Life amps up your team's healing after a successful volley.  Loyalty grants a defensive edge for you and your carry, while Pack Hunter gives everyone a bit of bonus movement speed when working together – perfect for those well-timed ambushes from the brush!

Ashe abilities

Frost Shot:

• Chill Out: Imagine a blizzard in your hands – every shot leaves enemies shivering in a frosty slowdown.
• Bonus Bite: The colder they get, the harder you hit. Plan your attacks for an icy, extra-damage punch!
• Crit for Control: Critical strikes don't just hurt, they practically freeze enemies solid. Forget burst damage, focus on building an impenetrable wall of ice.
• Heads Up: Think snowball fight – your slow weakens if you stop pelting your target!
• Tip: Use your icy powers to trap enemies in fights, making them easy pickings, or to slip away unscathed yourself. A well-timed critical strike can lock them down longer than raw damage will.

Example: Freeze a pesky champion in their tracks, then chase them down with chilling attacks for a frosty finish.  In a messy team fight, blanket the battlefield with icy arrows, forcing your enemies to crawl while your team closes in.

Ranger's Focus:

• Power Up!: Each attack is like charging a laser cannon. Get those stacks up for supercharged, rapid-fire blasts!
• Big Boom: Once that energy meter is full, unleash destruction! A single, massive shot can obliterate your targets.
• Reset Attack!: This isn't just about damage. Imagine a flurry of lightning-fast strikes following that big blast!
• Charge Time: Think before you blast. Maxing out those stacks takes time, so find a safe moment before going for the big hit.
• Stand Still: You're a sitting duck while charging. Don't get caught with your pants down and that energy bar rising!
• Tip: Build those Ranger's Focus stacks in the build-up to a fight, then wham! – unload with a devastating attack combo.

Example: Stack up your focus clearing jungle camps, then melt enemy minions like butter with a supercharged blast and some quick follow-up shots. During a team fight, get those stacks charged, then blow away their squishy carry for maximum chaos.

Volley:

• Cone of Pain: Unleash a hailstorm of arrows, showering the battlefield with icy arrows and a crippling slow.
• Double Chill: Your Frost Shot gets a wintry upgrade, making escape nearly impossible for your icy prey.
• Combo Time: Chain your Volley with regular attacks for a blizzard of pain, those frozen foes won't stand a chance.
• Watch Out: Enemy minions (or even their beefy tank!) can shield them from your arrows. Think like a sniper, finding those clear lines of fire.
• Long Wait: Early on, this bad boy needs time to recharge. Choose your volleys wisely!

Tip: Poke enemies under their tower with Volley, forcing them to back off or suffer a frosty follow-up assault. In a brawl,  blanket the area with arrows, slowing their whole team and setting your allies up for easy pickings.

Hawkshot:

• See All: Imagine an owl's watchful gaze, but one that can soar across the entire map! Spy on your enemies, claim those objectives.
• Reveal Secrets: Invisible enemies? Hiding in the brush? Hawkshot sees through their tricks, giving you the upper hand.
• Track the Enemy: Forget footprints, track the enemy jungler's every move. Knowledge is power in this jungle!
• Long Wait: You can't spam this ability, use each shot carefully to gain crucial information.
• No Damage: This arrow's about intel, not brawling. Keep this in mind when your team craves a fight!

Tip: Hawkshot those early jungle camps, predict the enemy path and claim those buffs before they can.  Later, keep the pressure on by revealing their backline, allowing your assassins to get the jump.

Enchanted Crystal Arrow:

• Long Shot Stun: Imagine the thrill of launching a shimmering arrow across the battlefield, freezing an enemy in their tracks and leaving them vulnerable.  That's Enchanted Crystal Arrow.
• Area Blast:  But wait, there's more! This arrow packs a punch - it explodes on impact, showering surrounding enemies with a burst of magical energy.
• Steer It!: This isn't just any arrow.  You're the archer, guiding its flight path with expert precision.  Weave it around obstacles and thread it perfectly for those satisfying long-range stuns.
• Big Cooldown: This ability is your trump card – powerful but precious. A well-timed Enchanted Crystal Arrow can turn the tide of battle, so use it wisely.
• Shorter Stun: Think strategically! The farther that arrow flies, the longer that glorious stun lasts. Plan your shots, considering distance for maximum impact.

Tips for Victory:

The Grand Opening: Surprise the enemy with a stunning Enchanted Crystal Arrow to kick off a team fight, crippling their main damage dealer and leaving them disoriented.
Hunting the Strays: See an overconfident enemy pushing too far out alone? Punish their recklessness! Land a well-aimed arrow and watch them panic as your team closes in.

How to play Ashe

Ashe, the Frost Archer, thrives on one guiding principle: distance is your greatest weapon.  Her icy arrows may lack raw power, but her ability to kite and harass from afar makes her a formidable opponent in the right hands.

Here's how to dominate with Ashe:

• Dance on the Frost: Stay on the move, always maintaining a safe distance from your enemies. Ashe's strength lies in her range, not her health.
• Weave a Blizzard of Arrows: Your basic attacks, empowered by your passive, slow your foes. Landing a 'Frozen Heart' volley not only chills their bones but amplifies your damage – a potent combination.
• Unleash Your Ultimate: While 'Enchanted Arrow' packs a punch, it's the stun that makes it truly devastating. Use it to pin fleeing foes or disrupt a deadly charge.

Ashe's gameplay is refreshingly straightforward. Master these core concepts, and you'll shower your enemies in a relentless hail of icy arrows.

Ashe pros and cons

Pros

• Relentless Volley: Ashe's signature ability lets her pepper foes with arrows, continuously slowing them down while she keeps a healthy distance.
• Hawk Shot Vision: Need to scout a shadowy jungle path or check an objective? Send your hawk companion for far-reaching sight!
• Enchanted Crystal Arrow: This ultimate ability can stun an enemy champion from across the map, setting up a kill for your team or saving your own life.

Cons

• Sitting Duck: If an enemy gets the jump on her, Ashe has few options to escape. Careful positioning is key!
