Smolder vs Ashe

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

This lane turns on safe (Q) stacking versus Ashe's poke and slow control.
Smolder wins extended trades post-(Q) thresholds; Ashe controls short trades with (W) slows.
Hold wave near your side to punish Ashe's last-hit attempts and avoid her slow zone.

Trading pattern

Punish Ashe when she last-hits melee or cannon minions if enemy support can't countertrade.
Use (W) poke on Ashe when she clusters near minions to maximize splash damage.
Avoid trades when (W) is up and support can follow; wait for her to miss (W) or use (R).

Danger windows

Respect (R) stun when her support or jungle can follow for lethal all-ins.
Avoid stepping into (W) slow zone when support is positioned to chain cc.
Be cautious when (E) is down, as Ashe can force engage without your escape option.

Early game

Use the first three waves to stack (Q) safely without overextending into (W) poke.
Avoid stepping up on caster minions when Ashe's support controls brush or threat zone.
Delay (E) usage until Ashe's engage or (R) threat subsides to keep escape ready.

Power spikes

Prioritize safe (Q) stack thresholds for stronger poke and execute pressure in extended trades.
Level 6 (R) enables healing and lane swing; use it to punish Ashe's all-ins or protect stacks.
Post-first item, Smolder's mixed damage and poke become harder for Ashe to contest without engage.

Win conditions

Convert (Q) stack leads into safe recalls and item spikes to outscale Ashe's poke.
Crash waves under Ashe's tower to deny plates and force her to farm in vulnerable spots.
Use (R) to swing health totals during dragon setups, enabling safer objective control and teamfight DPS access.

Tip: For Smolder vs Ashe, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast ADC lane check.
