This is my goto Ashe build intend for Solo Ranked play in League of Legends which is up-to-date as of Sejuani patch. Ashe never really changes much so this guide will probably hold unless major changes are made to Ashe.
Item Build
Starting the game you will want to start with Boots of Speed and 3 Health Potions. Alternatively, you can go with Doran’s Sword, but only go with Doran’s if you can really count on your support. This build guide is mainly intended for Solo play so I recommend boots and pots. While, I do prefer Boots/pots if you think your lane will be really tough you could go Cloth Armor and 5 Health Potions.
Next item for Ashe should be Bloodthirster. When you have enough money for the B.F. Sword part you should buy it. Bloodthirster will give you pleanty Attack Damage for a while and also give you some sustain which is really important for ranged carry.
After that you can build Berserker Greeves to help your DPS early. Later game you should sell these and buy Merc Treads, however.
Phantom Dancer should be built next. It will give you lots of crit and attack speed as well as movement speed.
Next build Infinity Edge, after you’ve built this you should be very dangerous and can now focus on defensive items. I recommend at least getting a Bashee’s Veil for bonus HP, Magic Res and of course blocking one spell is nice.
Summoner Spells
Always get Flash, its necessary for escaping ganks as well as setting up kills for yourself and chasing over walls.
I would go with Exhaust usually because its just really useful. Alternatively, use Heal.
Runes
Go with 9 Armor Penetration Reds. Armor pen is very important for a ranged physical carry. Also do 3 Armor Penetration Quints.
For your yellows and blues, I like to go with all Flat Armor. Just because in bot lane you’ll most of the time be going against another physical carry. And the extra armor should give you an edge. Otherwise go 9 Flat Armor Yellows and 9 Flat Magic Res Blues.
Masteries
In the Offensive tree, go 3 points in Brute Force and 1 in Butcher, these will help a little with last hitting early game. Next 4 points in Alacrity. 4 points in Deadly, 1 in Weapon Expertise for those crits! Put 2 points in Vampirism to get to the next tier and because Life Steal is pretty nice. Lastly, for this Ashe build you will need 3 points in Sunder. That does it for the Offensive Tree.
In the Defensive tree, 3 points in Hardiness and 1 point in Resistence. Now, 4 points in Durability and 1 in Veteran’s Scars.
You should have 2 points left over for whatever you think will do you best.
How to Play
I won’t go into much detail on how to play Ashe. But, if I had to give some advice it would be… FARM! Make sure you’re getting last hits. Focus on farming over killing or harassing your lane opponents. After lane phase is pretty much over. Farm every chance you can. Be looking for farm always! Its your job late game to do the real damage and you will need all your items to do it!
I hope this Ashe build will be of use to someone. If you think it sucks or have some suggestions or maybe you used the build and it worked for you, feel free to comment!
