Who Wins
- You lose most 1v1s pre-6 due to Ambessa's superior mobility and burst damage, especially after her level 2 power spike with Q-E combo.
- Post-6, you still struggle in extended fights but can potentially win with perfect barrel combos and R usage for the slow.
How to Trade
- Focus on Q poke when she's farming and immediately back away, never allowing her to gap close with E.
- If she engages, use barrel combos to slow her and create distance rather than trying to trade damage directly.
Wave Control
- Maintain a slow push or freeze near your tower to deny her all-in opportunities while farming safely with Q.
- Avoid hard shoving unless you can recall immediately, as she excels at punishing overextended positions.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never face-check bushes or fight in minion waves where she can use creeps for E resets.
- Don't waste your W cleanse on her initial engage - save it for when she commits fully with multiple abilities.
