How to Beat Smolder as Ashe (ADC)

Difficult matchup requiring deep understanding of game mechanics and flawless execution. Patience and proper macro play are the keys to victory in this confrontation.

Except for rare builds, Ashe deals physical damage. Focus on eliminating enemy carries. Smolder deals mainly physical damage (72.95%), additional items against this damage type may be required against snowballing or aggressive play.

An important advantage of Ashe is higher farming statistics (ranked 8th among role champions) (versus 14th for Smolder), which provides a stable gold advantage in extended games and allows faster access to key items. Meanwhile, their higher KDA (2.4 versus 2.3) suggests they participate more effectively in team fights.

Key aspects of the Ashe ADC versus Smolder ADC matchup

In this difficult confrontation, it is critically important for the Ashe player to avoid attempts to force trades and all-ins with the Smolder player, as the matchup requires a patient and calculated approach. Extended trades without clear tactical advantage often lead to unfavorable consequences, and ignoring opportunities to receive team support can be a fatal mistake for game progression.

Ashe tips:

  • Try to fire Enchanted Crystal Arrow in the same direction enemies are moving, so it is more likely to hit.
  • Volley arrows are blocked by the first enemy they hit, so keep your distance to avoid having them all absorbed by enemy frontliners.
  • Hawkshot reveals units in brush. If a team fight is occuring in the jungle it can give you a significant advantage.

Playing Against Smolder

  • Smolder relies on his team for safety. Attack him when his team can't save him.
  • Don't group up when facing Smolder!
  • Smolder is very vulnerable in the early stages. Try to take advantage of his weakness before he can learn how to be a dragon!
  • Smolders flight can be interrupted by hard CC and impacted by slows.
