Who Wins
- You win level 2 all-ins with your hook combos and Ashe's follow-up damage, but you lose level 6 trades when Bard's ultimate can interrupt your engages and Caitlyn can trap your exit points.
- Your execute potential keeps you relevant, but their disengage tools limit your opportunities.
Synergy & Trading
- Look for hook angles when Bard steps up for harass or chime collection, then follow with E stun while Ashe slows them.
- Your best trades happen when you can hook one enemy away from minions, allowing Ashe to follow up with W and auto-attacks for extended trades.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Roam when the wave is pushed against you and Ashe can farm safely, typically after successful recalls or when your ultimate is available.
- Focus on mid lane ganks or river skirmishes where your hook and execute can secure kills.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't hook through minions early game as Bard can easily Q-stun you during your animation, leaving you vulnerable to Caitlyn's follow-up.
- Avoid using your E aggressively without flash available, as Caitlyn's traps can block your escape routes and leave you stranded.
