Lore
The Drow discovered a girl and cared for Traxex after robbers killed her parents. The young woman’s abilities were valued. She might be a drow changeling. She later left the tribe that had taken care of her and moved into the forest to live alone. Many people traveling through the forest often claim to have encountered an impossibly beautiful ranger who watched them from the trees in silence and vanished before they could approach.
She moved like a quiet fog, was subtle and enigmatic, hot and cold. If you hear murmurs, it’s her frigid frozen arrows piercing the wind to strike at the adversaries’ hearts. The only indication that her frost arrows have penetrated someone’s heart will be a faint whisper in the distance.

Game Plan
Early Game:
The carry hero Traxex will be dangerous in the late game. Just continue farming responsibly. The only two requirements for Carry Heroes to succeed are two deaths and endless farming.
Mid Game:
To take down the enemy turret, push the lane or ask your allies to ward fully. You can also ask them to watch the minimap farm for safety. Keep in mind that your ultimate will lose its impact right away if enemy champions are nearby, even if they are in stealth, so keep an eye on your stats if anything out of the ordinary happens.
Late Game:
It is the moment to farm close to your teammates or stick with the team to get support or help when needed. To ensure life, urge your support team to ward you off if you want to split push fully
You take a favorable position to shoot in total combat or home defense. It’s best to Gust (W) whoever is closest to you to come out and shoot. Use Gust (W) if necessary, and activate a Frost arrow (Q) to shoot moving targets during combat.
Counters
Faceless Void:
- No-Face Vacancy
Using Time Walk to close their distance could reduce the Drow Ranger’s Marksmanship advantage. Drow Ranger’s health pool is constrained. Thus Faceless Void may utilize Chronosphere to disable her before she can strike back.
Tinker:
Drow Ranger loses her vision due to Tinker Laser, skipping her high-damage attacks. Using the Heat-Seeking Missile in a team fight, Tinker can outrange Drow Ranger and hit her in the backline.
Tusk:
Drow Ranger cannot run because of the snowflakes and ice shards smothering her. Snowball enables Tusk to get to Drow Ranger and turn off her Marksmanship enhancement. Moreover, it might be used to protect allies who Gust has injured.
Tusk might utilize the Tag Team to impede her movement and deal a devastating blow to her. PUNCH Drow Ranger receives a significant amount of damage while being slowed.
Nyx Assassin:
Nyx Assassin deals a lot of burst damage thanks to its impale ability, Mana Burn, Dagon, and additional damage from Vendetta. All of this damage will result in the death of Drow Ranger.
Commonly undetected, Nyx Assassin can easily gank Drow Ranger thanks to his ability Vendetta.
Lancer Phantom:
Phantom Lancer can use Phantom Rush to close the gap between them and neutralize Marksmanship quickly. Juxtapose has no AoE damage, so dealing with her illusions is challenging for the Drow Ranger.
Advantageous Matchups
Drow Ranger + Windranger
Focus Fire and Windrun are fantastic for weighing in the ground in the game’s early stages. To prevent your lineup from being too flimsy, you’ll need a strong third core if Drow Ranger and Windranger are both cores/carries.
Drow Ranger + Enigma
Dark Hole gives Drow Ranger plenty of opportunity to reorient herself if enemies jump her during a battle. Next, if any enemies have made it out of the Black Hole, Gust may be utilized to encircle them further.
Drow Ranger + Medusa
Split Shot and Precision Aura complement each other well. Stone Gaze aids Drow Ranger in team battles with her Marksmanship damage.
