Lunar Empress Ashe

Saw my duo lock in Lunar Empress Ashe for the fifth game straight yesterday and finally understood why she wouldn't shut up about it. After borrowing her account for a week of spam games, I'm probably buying this skin myself even though I usually stick to base skins.

The auto attacks feel insanely smooth compared to other Ashe skins, especially PROJECT which always felt clunky to me. Her W animation has this subtle wind up that makes it easier to time for wave clear, and the ult actually feels faster even though it's not. During a baron fight yesterday, I landed a cross map arrow on their fed Katarina purely because the projectile is so much clearer than base skin. You can track exactly where it's going without squinting at your screen. The E hawk is whatever, but at least it doesn't block your vision like some of her other skins do when you're trying to CS under tower.

Is Lunar Empress Ashe worth it compared to High Noon or Fae Dragon? Absolutely. The 1350 RP price stings a bit but the cleaner animation cancels alone make it worth. I've been popping off in lane trades because the auto attack reset after Q feels more responsive. It's not exactly pay to win, but there's definitely a clarity advantage that helps you land more skillshots.

My experience with Lunar Empress Ashe convinced me that sometimes skins actually do make a difference. If you're an ADC main who plays Ashe regularly, grab it next time it's in the shop. The technical improvements over her older skins are too good to pass up.
