Who Wins
- Ashe + Pyke wins pre-6 through superior engage potential and Ashe's range advantage negating your poke.
- Post-6 remains difficult as Pyke's R execute threshold often negates your healing, though your R can counter-engage if positioned properly.
Synergy & Trading
- Use Q + auto when Pyke is out of hook range, then immediately W for the shield and movement speed to retreat safely.
- Your best trades happen when you can Q + auto + power chord then instantly W for the shield before Pyke can follow up.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Roam only when the wave is pushing toward your tower and Pyke has backed or shown elsewhere on the map.
- Optimal timings are after successful recalls when you have mobility boots, targeting mid lane ganks or river skirmishes where your R can be game-changing.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't face-check brushes or walk up for poke when Pyke's Q is available, as his hook into E combo will chunk you for 60% of your health.
- Avoid using R defensively unless it's guaranteed to save multiple lives, as wasting it gives them a massive window to engage.
