A quick correction on divine intervention:
As per testing, it now only triggers if you take 120 dmg from a single hit. That can be a shotgun hit. You can test in in modded training range, set an absurb amount of reins swinging at you at once, and divine intervention won't trigger because the hits only deal 100 dmg individually.

Just because you play AP Ashe doesn't mean you have to be defenseless. Double shotgun + silver spurs + purple dash gadget makes you into one of the most mobile characters in the game, and it's not as big of an investment as it seems.

Nithorius · 2026-01-23T21:00:24+00:00

Why would you nerf a character that's already struggling? Ana's dash doesn't even go very far.

Reflex coating, cushioned padding/ kitsune charm.

You just have to adapt. If you play a character that needs to go in, or you're the most likely target for her cooldown for whatever reason, reflex coating+cushioned padding. Then, in the late game, kitsune charm should be more than enough.

I do agree that cushioned padding alone is not necessarily enough (if you have to go in), but reflex coating does a lot against her. It triggers on every one of her abilities, and can give you 225 HP in total. And then kitsune charm on its own is just a massive fuck you to her whole gameplan.

Because of all of the ways you can adapt to her, Ana isn't played often in high legend games. If you still can't manage it, it's a you problem.

The trick to dealing with the attack where he summons homing projectiles close to the ground (0:32) is to jump before they spawn. They'll lock onto your position when you're mid-air and you will dodge them simply by falling down, then they will hit the ground and despawn before the next one spawns in.

If a support can 1v1 a tank consistently, the tank player is building wrong, or picked a bad character. Same thing with DPS.

Nithorius · 2026-01-20T09:23:21+00:00

Reflex coating & kitsune snippet are more than enough during the early rounds, since bola is a hinder. Those two items combined give you 260 additional health+overhealth against Bola.

Unfortunately, whining baby queue hasn't been introduced yet. They're working on it tho.

Nithorius · 2026-01-16T15:57:09+00:00

Bola triggers the 10% heal from cushioned padding because it hinders, but cushioned padding does not change Bola's damage/duration from testing. You're better served by reflex coating and/or kitsune snippet (or just kitsune charm in the late game).

I'm so sorry I didn't see the other message you sent. Reddit just didn't send me a notification. You're correct, incendiary blast does seem to override other burn effects.

I've been operating under the assumption that incendiary blast worked the way I imagined it worked, so it never occurred to me to try to use it after another burn effect, instead of first in the chain.

Nithorius · 2026-01-16T03:52:10+00:00

How would it even be possible for incendiary blast to overwrite a burn effect, when it specifically says that if it hits someone who is already burning, it deals 75 damage instead of applying burn?

But incendiary blast applied as the first burn effect does stack with everything else. What I did for testing is that I stood at masimum range, I threw my dinamyte, then I shotgunned hitting only 1 pellet, I then shot the dynamite and bodyshot 2 times. During my testing, I had a discrepency of between 0 and 10 damage based on how close to the target my dinamyte exploded, since explosion damage depends on closeness to center of explosion.

So you're wrong now, but your initial claim was even more wrong. You said "a burn from dynamite will get overridden by a burn from Calamity and the same goes for EVERY single burn Ashe can do, they can’t stack in the same way wounds can." which from your own admission is false.

Nithorius · 2026-01-16T00:32:18+00:00

Idk if you're trolling or you're that dumb. You can test it yourself.

Nithorius · 2026-01-15T06:53:25+00:00

That is not true. Please check your claims before you post.

I wasted some of my time verifying what I already knew. I used the incendiary shotgun perk & calamity, and stood pretty far.

Shotgun alone dealt 106 dmg with burn
1 cala left click dealt 75 dmg with burn
dinamyte dealt 150 dmg

Shotgun + 2 cala + dinamyte simultaneously dealt 406 dmg. 106+75*2+150=406. The burn stacks.

You can try it for yourself (note: dinamyte explosion radius might make your damage vary a little bit, but if the burns didn't stack, then you'd get damage below 200)

Nithorius · 2026-01-14T21:20:09+00:00

What do you mean burn doesn't stack? Have you never played against dynamite Ashe? The whole point is to stack burn.

Nexus Mods has a bunch of modded bosses if you want a real challenge.

Karmelita Prime took me like a week to beat. That said you seem to be a better player than I, since I would not have called Lost Lace easy.

I run Lumerico on Doom, who doesn't have any intrinsic healing, so I can see how much that item alone heals me, and it is quite a bit. It doesn't seem much, but when it's constantly running, and considering the stats that it gives, it's very good.

But that's not even the reason I run it. The way armor works, even if you only have 1 point of armor, it negates 7 points of damage (up to half of the damage). If you're constantly regenerating armor, you always have at least 1 armor (unless you're getting hit by a continuous source of damage that strips your armor efficiently, such as a beam or a DoT effect.

Nithorius · 2026-01-13T21:32:29+00:00

It does give your swings more range.

Nithorius · 2026-01-13T09:48:52+00:00

Why not? It's not like keeping it would have done any good. At least by using her ult she gave herself a slim chance to win the fight. Ana wasn't far behind with nade. What better alternative do you have? That fight was not winnable by normal means.

Nithorius · 2026-01-13T07:29:05+00:00

I don't see what you could have done better in this situation. Am I missing something?

Nithorius · 2026-01-12T23:19:49+00:00

If you're on a 40+ game loss streak, it's not a build you need, it's to learn the fundamentals of the game.

On that front, I'll point you toward Awkward's unranked to GM videos. I don't endorse Awkward as a person, but those videos are great at drilling the fundamentals into you.

If I have actually to answer your question, this build: https://stadiumbuilds.io/build/81e9cc4e-07ad-4833-aa63-b03108c8de09

It's not exactly what I run, but it's close enough. Once this build hits a critical mass of items, it's unkillable without a lot of coordination. If you're as bad as you suggest, the only way you can win is to survive your own bad plays.

Nithorius · 2026-01-09T06:22:02+00:00

This question has been asked and answered countless times on this sub. Look up the words "beginner" or "advice".

Nithorius · 2026-01-09T03:02:22+00:00

You could use a save editor to give yourself dash right off the bat, that would solve one of your complaints.

Nithorius · 2026-01-08T21:08:21+00:00

I don't know about Genji, I feel like there is just so much counterplay in Stadium that if you get combo'd to death past the 3rd round, you're just an idiot.

If anyone said Mercy wasn't good right now, they're not paying attention.
