Levels 4-5AsheLevels 4-5 favour you: sustained W range and slow uptime out-trade her Q.
Level 6Even / skillLevel 6 is even: her On the Hunt and Spell Shield offset your Crystal Arrow engage.

How to beat Sivir as Ashe: the early game

You own levels 1-3: W out-ranges her Boomerang Blade and your passive Frost slows every hit, so she can't trade back without eating free poke as she walks up to CS. Spell Shield is a 24-second cooldown at rank 1 and it eats Volley, Enchanted Crystal Arrow or a support's engage, whichever lands first. Throw a deliberately cheap Volley to strip it, then commit. Her Boomerang Blade costs a lot of mana early, so a shoved wave forces her to spend it on the minions instead of you.
