Early game (levels 1–5)

Levels 1-2 you out-trade Ashe cleanly. Your Lightslinger passive doubles every ability into an auto, so a quick Q plus weave beats her single Frost Shot autos, and she has zero mobility to disengage. Only real threat is her Volley slow into a support all-in, so stay behind minions and last-hit safely.
