Tahm Kench vs Ashe

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 8, 2026

Overview

Use (R) to isolate Ashe or peel for your ADC against her slow chains and (R) stun.
Control brush to deny Ashe's engage angle and reduce her poke with (W) and (Q) threat.
Enable your ADC to step up safely by blocking slows and creating engage windows with your tankiness.

Trading pattern

Build passive stacks with short trades before threatening (Q) stun or (R) for pick or peel.
Time (Q) to slow or stun Ashe when your ADC can immediately follow up on the engage.
Hold (R) to protect your ADC from (R) stun or to isolate Ashe after she overextends.

Danger windows

(R) stun with follow-up slows creates high vulnerability for your ADC; hold peel cooldowns.
Ashe's poke with (W) and autos denies your ADC access when you lack brush control.
Losing brush or vision near river allows Ashe to set up long-range picks and zone your ADC.

Early game

Contest level 2 to secure brush control and open engage angles for your ADC follow-up.
Use early wave crash to create lane space and deny Ashe's autos on your ADC.
Ward river and tri-brush to track (E) and prevent her from setting up picks with (R).

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks (R) for decisive (R) plays to save your ADC or pick Ashe.
First tank item boosts (E) shield durability, enabling safer short trades and better peel.
Post-level 6, use (R) proactively to force Ashe to respect your engage and limit her poke.

Win conditions

Convert brush control and (Q) stack threat into forced recalls or kills on Ashe's ADC.
Use (R) to isolate Ashe or protect your ADC during dragon setups and skirmishes.
Roam after wave crash with vision to pressure mid and secure objective control while your ADC safely holds lane.
