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.

LuluAshe has no escape at all, which is the condition Lulu is built for. Wild Growth is the answer to every dive her lack of mobility invites.
OriannaEnchanted Crystal Arrow stuns from across the map and Shockwave gathers whoever it hits. Two area setups from range, neither needing anyone to walk in.COMMUNITY LAYER
