Who Wins
- You win early trades levels 1-3 due to your Q poke and vital proc damage, but Ambessa becomes significantly stronger post-6 with her R engage potential and energy management.
- Post-6 she can all-in you reliably if you're not positioned near walls for W riposte opportunities.
How to Trade
- Your optimal trading pattern is Q to proc vitals then immediately back off, avoiding extended trades where she can stack her passive and energy.
- Look for W riposte opportunities when she uses her dash abilities to engage, as landing the stun gives you a favorable trade window.
Wave Control
- You want to maintain wave control and keep minions on your side of the lane to have wall access for W escapes.
- Avoid hard shoving as Ambessa excels at all-ins in the middle of the lane where you have limited escape options.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't try to match her roaming potential or fight her in river/jungle skirmishes where walls are limited.
- Avoid using W reactively to her Q poke - save it for her actual engage combos or you'll be vulnerable to her all-in.
