Zeri vs Ashe

Confidence highUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

Zeri wins extended fights by kiting around walls and using (R) for sustained DPS and mobility.
Ashe controls lane with slows and poke, forcing Zeri into predictable CS paths for (W) punishes.
Zeri needs to manage wave states to keep wall access for (E) escapes and punish Ashe's last-hit windows.

Trading pattern

Step forward to auto or (Q) when Ashe commits to last hits on melee or cannon minions if support threat is low.
Use (W) through walls to punish Ashe's predictable CS paths but back off if enemy support zones aggressively.
Avoid short trades without (R) active; instead, stretch fights to leverage your mobility and poke.

Danger windows

Avoid stepping up when (R) is available and enemy support can follow for a pick.
Respect enemy support control of brush or river, which blocks your last-hit punish windows.
Do not use (E) aggressively without a safe wall escape; Ashe's slows and (R) can trap you otherwise.

Early game

Use the first three waves to farm safely near walls, avoiding stepping up without (E) ready.
Punish Ashe's last-hit attempts on caster minions when her support can't immediately trade back.
Avoid fighting at level 2 if Ashe's support controls brush or can engage; hold wave near your tower.

Power spikes

Level 6 (R) unlocks extended fights where Zeri's mobility and DPS outpace Ashe's poke.
First completed marksman item strengthens Zeri's poke and wave control, enabling safer plate pressure.
Two-item spike enhances kiting and sustained damage, making objective fights around walls favorable.

Win conditions

Convert health and poke advantages into crashing waves to take turret plates before recalls.
Use wall (W) poke and (R) mobility to secure safe recalls and item spikes.
Kite extended fights around terrain during dragon setups to maximize DPS and avoid Ashe's slows and pick threats.
