| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Ashe | Volley outranges her short-range primary fire and slow kills her level-1 skirmish. |
| Level 2 | Ashe | At 2 Frost Shot already neuters the mobility Zeri is built around. |
| Level 3 | Ashe | By 3 your slow plus support CC punishes her fragile early game. |
| Levels 4-5 | Ashe | Levels 4-5 she still can't kite through a permanent slow. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | At 6 Lightning Crash overdrive lets her dodge a single arrow, making it even. |
| First item | Ashe | Your first item restores sustained DPS on a slow-locked, un-kiting Zeri. |
| Two+ items | Ashe | Late your perma-slow and max-range R shut down her hyper-mobile scaling. |
Levels 1-3 are yours: Volley outranges her short primary fire and Frost Shot cripples the mobility Zeri's whole kit depends on, so bully her weak early.
