Ashe's Strengths & Weaknesses
Strengths
Can reduce incoming damage by making use of small peeks.
Because Ashe's primary fire is single-shot, she can shoot and immediately hide, repeating small peeks. This makes it easier for her to take less damage than other hitscan heroes.
High AOE damage from Dynamite
.Dynamite
has a very wide blast radius, so it can put tremendous temporary pressure on the enemy backline. By placing Dynamite in the center of the enemy formation, it can also be used to split them up.Access to high ground via Coach Gun
.Ashe can fly quite high with Coach Gun
, giving her very easy access to high ground. It also knocks back enemies, so it can be used to disengage.
How to Counter
Apply repeated pressure with dive tanks or flankers.
Ashe is not that strong at close range, so focusing her down with dive tanks or flankers makes it easy to gain an advantage. Also, Coach Gun
has a long 10-second cooldown, making it difficult for her to escape when approached by multiple enemies.Lock her down with a poke composition.
By stacking poke heroes like Wuyang or Sigma, Ashe has a harder time peeking, making it easier to win the damage trade. However, be careful with heroes like Pharah or Junkrat, as their weakness to hitscan can put you at a disadvantage.
