Hey!! Although you did not provide situational items and provided just one build, which may as well be good for beginners who need to take it step by step, and the runes are typical, but what you did with the Q W E R and Passive... Dude, I have to thank you! That's quite an effort and quite useful! Thanks a lot!

Heya guys, I am thinking of updating this entirely for the 2021 Preseason as the incoming items make me itch to play League again. I'll keep you posted :) If I do update, it will be a complete overhaul, including a dissection of the new items and how they may affect gameplay. I'll also update the match-up section. Cheers, jhoi

Hi! Your guide is great and I can't thank you enough for making it.
As I see you've already updated the upper item section, I was wondering if you were still planning on doing a complete overhaul for season 11, or if this was it?
Either way the guide is still incredibly useful so thank you for having made it.

I'm pretty sure I've already commented on this guide lots of times before, but it just keeps getting more gorgeous every single time. Your guide is just so beautiful Jhoi, thanks for making it for any interested Ashe players to learn from and congratulations on winning the contest as well. :P

how do i download the build to load in LOL client?

You can import an item set into your client if given the code. I couldn't find one in the guide so I made a code for you to use, hopefully it is the way you want it to be:

Item Set Code



Under the collection tab, click on items, then import item sets. Select the option "Paste copied set" and copy paste the code in there. You should have the build now whenever you get into a game. :)

thank you alot! might be a stupid question but which is the order of buying? like first i would buy all the Spawn options items and then go to example build and buy greaves then reaver and so on? cause it takes a while to get to that amount of gold..
like when would i buy the utility ones? or defense?

Why isn't essence reaver core in your build, let alone an option?

Was planning on adding a mention of it in my guide and cheat sheet, as well as a better comparison between Zeal items. But as for why it's not a core item, I'm hesitant to suggest ER as it requires an IE AND Zeal OR Zeal upgrade before the full 30% cooldown reduction kicks in and Ashe doesn't need the mana component. That's a lot of gold and time before the payoff. Additionally, it's a problem about which to build first/build order in general.

If you build ER first, you get 70 AD, 20% crit chance and 10% CDR. It's obviously the passive you're looking for: 30% CDR (with 30% crit from other items) and 3% mana regen on hit.

If you build IE first, you get 70 AD, 20% crit chance. Again, it's the passive you're looking for: 250% damage on critical strikes.

So when you look at it, you're building ER for the CDR. I already have CDR in my build - Black Cleaver. I talk about BC in my guide, about why I think it's a great item on Ashe, not least that you can apply all stacks with Q and apply armour reduction with W to multiple people.

Anyway, after your first main item you want to get attack speed and life steal (even if it's just a Vamp Scepter). So if you're looking to buy attack speed and life steal, building those would take priority over either IE or ER. Building IE then ER (or the opposite way around) would be detrimental to damage over all due to lack of attack speed and survivability.

tldr;
> A build with IE and RE is too expensive
> If you're looking for CDR, get BC
> Building both IE and RE is counter-intuitive to building attack speed and surivivability

Therefore, I haven't replaced or included RE in my core build.

Let me know your thoughts.

People take that into consideration when building it, it's not much of a deterrent. 20% CDR with Essence Reaver and Zeal is pretty good, and 30% with Essence Reaver and Runaan's Hurricane is even better. It would be awesome if you could get the 30% CDR with just the 1 item, but needing to build a Zeal upgrade for it isn't a tragedy.

While it's not strictly necessary, an infinite mana pool is still a very attractive option for a champion like Ashe who is both reliant on her spells and also tends to spam them.

IE suffers from the exact same problem though, and to an even worse extent. People don't even rush IE on IE champions, they rush BF Sword and Pickaxe then build Zeal, since IE gains so few stats when you upgrade it from BF and Pickaxe. ER as a 1st item is stronger and people at least rush it because although it gives the same stats as IE (minus the enhanced crit chance), it restores mana every single time you crit on a minion. That means you get a lot more out of that 20% crit chance than you would from IE's 20% crit chance, since you don't even need to be interacting with champions for it to do work. And while it's more obvious that ER doesn't reach its full potential until you complete Runaan's, IE is in the same boat since it's a crit multiplier and it therefore requires more crit items to go along with it, it just doesn't spell that out for you in the item description like ER does.

ER is generally considered the better of the two items to rush, though IE rush certainly isn't bad.

It's been over a year since her rework and BC Ashe is still not a thing (among good players). It's not that people don't understand how good it is, everyone's well aware of the interaction with her Q applying stacks so quickly, but it's still just not as good Lord Dominik's Regards, and besides the fact that no one builds it that's also shown through the fact that even its win rate doesn't stand out amongst the players that do build it. She is the best ADC to build Cleaver on, yes (aside from the recent Youmuu Cleaver build ADC's), but that still doesn't make it the best % armor pen item to build on her. It's just too expensive and the armor shred doesn't even come into play until you invest the full 3k gold, and rather than saying "ER's CDR is obsolete because I already get CDR from BC", you should be saying "BC's CDR is obsolete because I already get CDR from ER".

Lifesteal doesn't need to be taken as early as your 2nd/3rd item, and sometimes you'll see ADC's not even get any until they upgrade Quicksilver Sash into Mercurial Scimitar as their 6th item. I wouldn't build a Vamp Scepter before IE/ER (whichever you didn't rush) unless I were building Mercurial Scimitar as a 3rd item.

And sure you need an AS item before you build that IE/ER, but in most games you would want to build one of those 3rd, since it's what gives the most damage.




I'm still of the opinion that you should be consulting your prospective changes with people that know what they're talking about. Every time I comment here it's because I or someone else has to point out that your guide is wrong about something(s) yet again/still.

While we're at it remove Statikk Shiv as an option since specifically on Ashe there's no reason to build it over Runaan's Hurricane so you shouldn't be advocating it as an alternative. And I would remove Phantom Dancer too since while they fill different niches Runaan's is still by far the superior Zeal upgrade on Ashe, and there's no reason to give readers the impression that PD is a viable alternative if they want to be stronger duellists.
