Who Wins
- You lose early trades levels 1-3 as Ambessa has superior base stats and mobility to stick onto you.
- At level 6, you win the all-in if you can land your ultimate properly and use W to negate her burst damage.
How to Trade
- You want to take short trades using Q stacks on minions then Q-auto-E to proc your passive and disengage immediately.
- Never extended trade without your W up as Ambessa will run you down with her mobility and sustained damage.
Wave Control
- You should focus on farming safely and building up minion waves to crash into her tower, then recall for items.
- Avoid fighting in long lanes early and try to keep the wave closer to your side where you can use W defensively.
Mistakes to Avoid
- You must not waste your W cooldown on minion clear or use it too early in trades when Ambessa hasn't committed yet.
- Getting caught without W up against Ambessa's engage tools will result in you taking massive damage or dying.
