The Annoyance of Ashe – Spirit of the Chosen
Since the launch of season 9, Ashe has often been used as a support champion to activate the Marksman system. Essentially, players will have a high Freljord threshold with strong effects when this unit is part of their team. However, masters on the LPL server recently discovered Ashe’s potential as a main damage dealer.
Ashe’s strength lies in the range of her skills being equal to her attack range. Therefore, Ashe can target the backline of the opponent if positioned cleverly. Furthermore, Ashe’s abilities also reduce the attack speed of her enemies. If equipped properly, Ashe can deal significant damage while also greatly reducing the opponent’s attack capability.
Building the Ashe – Spirit of the Chosen Composition
Players can start with a powerful setup of 3 Ionia combined with Ashe. If not, units like Maokai and Poppy, which are 1-cost Champions, should be utilized to ensure survivability. By level 5, Soraka and Taric should be added to the team.
In the mid-game phase, players should aim for the 4 Spirit of the Chosen threshold to ensure energy regeneration for Ashe. Shen will be a crucial champion at this stage, ensuring both survivability and activating the 4 Spirit of the Chosen bonus. Players can stop buying experience at level 7 to focus on upgrading Ashe, Taric, and Soraka to 3 stars.
By level 8, players can replace Jhin with Aphelios to add more damage. Sejuani is also a strong option at this point to activate the 3 Freljord bonus and increase durability. If reaching level 9 is possible, players should aim to add Ahri to the team to boost damage output.
Additionally, a good tip for this composition is to place Ashe in the middle position, at the back row instead of in the corners of the battlefield. If Ashe is placed in a corner, this champion’s skill can easily be blocked. Furthermore, this arrangement allows Ashe to deal damage to champions standing at the corners of the opponent’s battlefield.
With this composition, the Legendary Ornn is very suitable as players can effectively utilize most of the items from it. Additionally, players should prioritize selecting the supportive traits of Spirit of the Chosen and Freljord. For items, Ashe will need Infinity Edge, Rapid Firecannon, and Spear of Shojin to deal the most effective damage.
Conclusion
With the large energy supply from the Spirit of the Chosen, Ashe can continuously cast spells and deal significant damage. This promises to be an effective ranking strategy that Teamfight Tactics players should take advantage of in the upcoming period.
