Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 8, 2026

Overview

Control brush to threaten (Q) hook angles and deny Ashe's slow chains.
Enable ADC follow-up by layering passive root and saving (R) for unavoidable engages.
Use engage pressure to force Ashe's ADC into melee range, exposing them to lockdown.

Trading pattern

Threaten engages from brush when (Q) and passive root are ready, ensuring ADC can follow.
Hold (R) to guarantee lockdown on Ashe or her ADC when they try to sidestep (Q).
Avoid engaging into large waves or without ADC range to prevent easy punishes after missed (Q).

Danger windows

(R) stun can start picks; respect angles and hold peel cooldowns accordingly.
Ashe's slows from (W) and passive reduce ADC disengage; deny her brush control to limit this.
Missed (Q) leaves you vulnerable to poke and counters; avoid overcommitting without ADC support.

Early game

Win level 2 by hitting (Q) with ADC follow-up to capitalize on Ashe's immobility.
Thin the wave early to create favorable hook angles and limit Ashe's poke from (W).
Maintain brush control to deny Ashe's slow setup and protect your ADC's positioning.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks (Q) plus passive root, enabling strong all-ins with ADC follow-up.
Level 3 adds (W) shield and (E) slow, increasing engage safety and peel potential.
Level 6 (R) forces picks or disengages, especially when combined with river vision and ADC readiness.

Win conditions

Convert brush control and hook pressure into denied Ashe ADC positioning and forced recalls.
Roam after crashing wave with ADC safe to apply mid pressure and secure river vision for dragon.
Use (R) to start fights when ADC follow-up is confirmed, locking targets for easy kills or objective setups.
