Favour timeline — the windows in Ashe's game plan

Read from Ashe's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Seraphine.

This is Ashe's own plan; across 18,825 pooled games the lane is even.

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1AsheLevel 1 is yours because your auto DPS out-trades her enchanter-mage kit.
Level 2AsheLevel 2 stays yours as W lets you win extended exchanges against her poke.
Level 3AsheLevel 3 favours you since Q shreds her while she lacks mobility to answer.
Levels 4-5Even / skillLevels 4-5 are even as her Encore and E CC threaten a catch-out all-in.
Level 6Even / skillLevel 6 is even because Encore can chain into a root but she has no escape from your R.
First itemAsheFirst item favours you as sustained damage and permaslow overpower her shields.
Two+ itemsAsheTwo-plus items stays yours since R and slow lock the immobile Seraphine for the burst.

How to beat Seraphine as Ashe: the early game

Levels 1-3 are yours: Seraphine plays like an enchanter-mage, so as the real ADC your W (Volley) and Frost Shot out-DPS her in every extended trade while she relies on Q (High Note) poke and Note stacks. Stand behind minions to eat her skillshots and use your slow to punish her lack of mobility. Her Note stacks come off ability hits, so stand where a skillshot cannot catch you and a minion at the same time. Surround Sound is the shield that turns your all-in into a lost trade, so force it with poke, then commit on the second window with your support already past the wave.
