Abilities
Ability text as Riot writes it, in both languages.
Ranger's Focus
Ashe builds up Focus by attacking. At maximum Focus, Ashe can cast Ranger's Focus to consume all stacks of Focus, temporarily increasing her Attack Speed and transforming her basic attack into a powerful flurry attack for the duration.
Volley
Ashe fires arrows in a cone for increased damage. Also applies Frost Shot.
Hawkshot
Ashe sends her Hawk Spirit on a scouting mission anywhere on the map.
Enchanted Crystal Arrow
Ashe fires a missile of ice in a straight line. If the arrow collides with an enemy Champion, it deals damage and stuns the Champion, stunning for longer the farther arrow has traveled. In addition, surrounding enemy units take damage and are slowed.

Prepare Focus first
Q requires maximum Focus built through attacks. W supplies a slow, not the missing Focus stacks. Activate Q only after checking its availability.
R hit → W → attacks → Q when ready
Arrow follow-up
Confirm the arrow hit before advancing. Continue with W and attacks; Q still depends on Focus even when the target is stunned.
E scout → choose R angle
Information before arrow
Hawkshot informs the angle but does not immobilize. Account for travel time and movement instead of treating a revealed position as a guaranteed hit.
