Ashe Build

Ever since Ashe's reworks and updates I've been confused on what to build her now. For season 6 I've encountered many builds. Firstly is Infinity Edge still good on Ashe? Would Essence Reaver be better subtitute for Infinity Edge because of how much we can abuse ashe's w? I would like some pros and cons of building them or if its viable to build both if the case arises. Secondly I've seen people try to build Black Cleaver on Ashe saying that her q is such a good armor shred and it senergizes well. I fail to see the logic in this since I feel that instant armor shred from the last whisper items look better. Another weird item that people say is good on Ashe is the boots of swiftness because of how immobile Ashe is so building that and having the AA slow should make a good combination. Thirdly is Death's Dance any good on Ashe, I was curious on much I can abuse the W with 40% cdr with both Death's Dance and Essese Reaver . So in respect to this discussion I was thinking of a build somewhere around like this item 3508 item 3087 item 3006 item 3072 ( Some Kind of Armor Shred ) item 3031 if i don't need any defensive item.

Yes item 3031 is still good on her due to it still increasing her crit damage (even though it now has a unique scaling it still boosts it). Another good item to replace item 3087 with is item 3085 since the latter works really well with her Q.

item 3071 is probably being built so that the whole team can benefit (especially if built with Runaan's Hurricane) from the % Total Armor shred the Cleave passive provides. The item 3035 and its upgrades only benefit you though and only affect Bonus Armor.

item 3009 is suggested since she has a near perma-slow on her auto attacks allowing her to kite for DAYS! And if she "crits" instead she critically slows at a much more punishing slow percentage allowing her to continue kiting like that while autoing and backing away and still dealing good damage.

NOTE: I may be missing some other things of note but these where the ones I felt I could answer easily.

Thanks for the replay! Though I do like to add the fact I've tried Runaan's on Ashe for some time and other than being able to slow 3 ppl at a time ( which could be done already with only her W ). Other than I was wondering if the bolts had their damage modified since they turn into a flurry of bolts when Ashe activates her q.

Yes they do become a flurry as well! Its quite entertaining! The item 3085 bolts even become blue as well. Though of course builds as of right now are up for debate due to the recent changes to the Marksmen Itemization changes. Find what works for you though would be my best advice.

Infinity Edge is still the rush item of choice.

She synergizes better with RFC than any of the other crit items (yes, including Runaans).

Black Cleaver isn't good on her.

Swiftness might work, but I honestly wouldn't ever choose it except against a team with no hard CC whatsoever.
