Who Wins
- You lose levels 1-3 badly in direct confrontations due to Ambessa's superior damage and gap closing ability, so focus on farming safely and poking when possible.
- At level 6, you still lose all-ins but gain significant disengage potential with your ultimate to survive her burst combos.
How to Trade
- You should focus on short poke trades using W and auto-attacks when Ambessa goes for CS, then immediately back off to avoid retaliation.
- Never try to extended trade or fight in melee range, as your damage output cannot match hers in direct combat.
Wave Control
- You need to maintain the wave in a neutral or slightly pushed position to avoid being frozen on and dove, while using your range advantage to farm safely.
- Hard shove and roam when possible, as you provide much more value to your team in skirmishes than in the 1v1 lane.
Mistakes to Avoid
- You cannot afford to get caught by Ambessa's gap closers without your tornado or ultimate available, as you will likely die in a single combo.
- Avoid face-checking bushes or walking too far forward in lane, as Ambessa can easily run you down once she gets on top of you.
