Ashe vs Hwei

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

This lane turns on Ashe's ability to punish Hwei's last-hit windows with slows and (W) poke.
Ashe wins extended trades through sustained slows and (Q) empowered autos, but must avoid Hwei's root or fear setups.
Hold waves near your side to force Hwei to last-hit in range for auto slow and support follow-up.

Trading pattern

Punish Hwei's last-hit attempts on melee or cannon minions by auto-attacking with your passive slow if support threat is low.
Use (W) to poke when Hwei is forced to farm low-health caster minions, restricting his movement and enabling follow-up autos.
Avoid trades when (E) root or fear is available; wait for it to be spent before stepping up for damage.

Danger windows

Respect (E) spellbook root or fear cooldown; stepping forward during this window risks crowd control and burst.
Avoid trading when enemy support controls brush or can immediately follow your punish attempts.
Be cautious when (R) is down and support peel is unavailable, as your pick threat and disengage options drop sharply.

Early game

Use the first three waves to thin caster minions and punish Hwei stepping up for last hits with autos plus (W).
Prioritize level 2 trades only if your support can follow; otherwise, hold distance to avoid (E) root or fear.
Avoid pushing too hard early to prevent Hwei and support from engaging through your slows and (R) threat.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks (R), enabling Ashe to start picks and force Hwei to respect arrow angles and support follow-up.
First completed marksman item increases your sustained slow and DPS, allowing safer extended trades and better wave control.
Two-item utility DPS spikes strengthen your kite and pick potential, making it harder for Hwei to engage safely.

Win conditions

Convert slow chains and (W) poke into CS leads by punishing Hwei's locked-in last-hit animations.
Use (R) picks combined with support follow-up to force recalls or secure dragon control.
Crash waves near enemy turret to deny Hwei safe farm and create plate-taking opportunities before item spikes.
