How to win lane as Samira against Ashe · 54.12% win rate over 5,538 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Samira | Ashe has no dash at level 1, so you freely walk her down and stack passive without fear of retaliation. |
| Level 2 | Samira | At 2 your trades win because she cannot escape and only has slows to answer your step-ups. |
| Level 3 | Samira | Level 3 E dashes straight through Frost Shot, letting you stick to a fully immobile target. |
| Levels 4-5 | Samira | Through 4-5 she still has no repositioning tool, so your all-in threat keeps her pinned. |
| Level 6 | Samira | Your Inferno converts any missed or misused Crystal Arrow into a lethal Flawless Duet. |
| First item | Samira | A first-item spike lets you E through her kite and delete her before her poke matters. |
| Two+ items | Samira | In teamfights she remains a stationary sniper you can dive off any unit, keeping the edge yours. |
Levels 1-2 are yours. Ashe has no dash and relies on Frost Shot slows and Volley to zone, but she cannot punish you for stepping up because you can walk out or dash later; last-hit under tower behind your casters so her W poke and Ranger's Focus autos do not chunk you. Respect her lane bully potential only if she has an engage support, and keep your E fully off cooldown for the all-in.
