Who Wins
- You lose level 2 trades due to Ashe's superior range and Bard's Q stun setup, but you can win level 6 if you land E engage onto Ashe while avoiding Bard's ultimate.
- Your burst potential with R becomes significant once you have items and can quickly eliminate Ashe.
Synergy & Trading
- Use Q through minions to poke Ashe while staying behind creeps to avoid her W, then look for E swings when Bard roams or mispositions.
- Your best trades involve Q poke followed by auto-attacks with your passive, then disengaging before Bard can respond.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Push waves aggressively early to deny Ashe farm and create roam opportunities when she's under tower.
- Focus on slow-pushing into crashes rather than freezing, as your mobility allows you to escape ganks while Ashe struggles to match your roam potential.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never E engage when Bard has Q available and is positioned to stun you mid-swing against terrain or minions.
- Avoid extended trades without your W shield active, as Ashe's sustained DPS with Q will outdamage your burst if the fight drags on.
