Best Ashe Build?

msk51·6/30/2017, 2:18:57 AM·2 votes·3,852 views

As an Ashe main, I always pay special attention to her when she is played in the professional scene for League. The first thing I noticed is that many pros and high level players (diamond, master, challenger) have different core builds when playing Ashe. I've been researching all the different builds and these are the ones I found. Which one do you guys think is the best?

(Note: I will try to keep the build order the same, but sometimes it will be off. Also, assume that every build uses Berserkers Greaves)

Build 1 - Essence Reaver -> AS/Crit Item -> Infinity Edge

Build 2 - Essence Reaver -> Double AS/Crit Item -> Infinity Edge

Build 3 - Essence Reaver -> AS/Crit Item

Build 4 - Essence Reaver -> Double AS/Crit Item

Build 5 - Infinity Edge -> AS/Crit Item

Build 6 - Infinity Edge -> Double AS/Crit Item

Build 7 (Less so since BOTRK nerfs) - Blade of the Ruined King -> Double AS/Crit Item

Build 8 (Less so since BOTRK nerfs) - Blade of the Ruined King -> Double AS/Crit Item -> Infinity Edge

Build 9 (Very rare) - Blade of the Ruined King -> Black Cleaver -> AS/Crit Item

These builds only contain the core, as the rest of the items are varied.

Which one do you guys think is the best?

I don't play much ashe (only Rank 4 on her) but my personal build is reaver > runnans > IE > Bt > Tabi/Berserkers and either PD, LDR or merc scim. Probably not the best, but its what I run, tends to work when I need it to ¯_(ツ)_/¯

The best ADC build right now is what's called the Energized build. Now, I'm not sure if it's good on Ashe specifically, but it's pretty legit on every other ADC, so why not?

Keystone: Warlord's Bloodlust (gives Energized for lifesteal) First Item: BORK or BF Sword Second Item: Statikk Shiv (damage on Energized from Warlord's, can crit) Third Item: Rapid Firecannon (increased range on Energized, hits turrets) Fourth Item: Infinity Edge (because damage)

First, understand that these builds will do slightly different things. You could pick a build based on the style you want to play. (Can't say much about which style is best)

The ER builds are your utility builds. It will give you ample use of your utility spells, namely your ult. But you will sacrifice your higher end damage chosing ER over IE.

BotRK is probably your best Early game option. It will allow for more sustain early, which is useful if your support doesn't offer sustain. BC might be a good second item. It synergizes with her Q, and the combined two items will make you a Tank shreder.

And then there's your IE build, which will probably offer the best late game damage. Personally, I would only start with the BF sword, then complete your AS/Crit item, before completing IE.

imo

Best damage build... item 3153 item 3085 item 3046, LW item/ item 3031

Best Ult bot utility build... item 3508 item 3085, item 3031, LW item/item 3153

most of the time for Solo Q ops, I just go for the damage build, if Ashe Ult is what your team is relying on for hard CC the game's probably lost in any event
