Ashe vs Zeri

Confidence highUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

Ashe wins short trades by using (W) slows and punishing Zeri's forced CS paths.
Control wave near mid to keep Zeri last-hitting inside Ashe's auto range for slows.
Ashe benefits from stable lane states where she can poke and set up (R) picks before Zeri scales.

Trading pattern

Punish Zeri's last-hit attempts on melee or cannon minions with slowed autos plus (W) if support can't zone.
Avoid trading when (E) dash is available to prevent her closing distance or escaping.
Use (W) poke when Zeri walks predictable paths, especially near walls where she relies on (E).

Danger windows

(E) dash cooldown down means she can engage or escape; avoid stepping forward without support peel.
When (R) is active, respect her extended fight potential and avoid chasing her through terrain.
Enemy support controlling brush or engage zones negates last-hit punish windows; back off to avoid unfavorable trades.

Early game

Use first three waves to thin casters and force Zeri to last-hit near you for (W) poke.
Level 2, punish Zeri stepping up for melee-range cannon minions if enemy support can't punish.
Position near brush with support slightly ahead to chain slows and deter (E) dash escapes.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks (R), enabling Ashe to initiate picks and punish Zeri stepping up without support follow-up.
First completed marksman item increases Ashe's sustained slow and DPS, allowing longer trades if support peel is ready.
Two-item power spike lets Ashe kite extended fights better, countering Zeri's mobility and scaling threat.

Win conditions

Convert poke and slow chains into health leads to force Zeri recalls and crash waves for turret plates.
Use (R) picks combined with support follow-up to secure dragon control and objective setups.
Maintain wave near mid to deny Zeri free farm and leverage Ashe's range and slows to scale safely into teamfights.
