Who Wins
- You lose levels 1-3 heavily due to your melee form and limited trading tools against Ambessa's superior early game kit.
- At level 6, you're still disadvantaged as Ambessa's R provides strong all-in potential while your ranged form lacks sufficient damage to match her burst potential.
How to Trade
- Your best trading pattern is to use Q when Ambessa goes for CS or uses her Q, then immediately W away to avoid her E gap-close.
- Only take extended trades if she wastes her E cooldown, allowing you to kite with autos and Q while maintaining distance with W movement speed.
Wave Control
- Focus on farming safely under tower and giving up CS when necessary to avoid Ambessa's all-in potential.
- After level 6, you can start to contest waves more actively with your range advantage, but avoid pushing too aggressively as Ambessa can still run you down with her mobility.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't try to match Ambessa's early aggression or fight in extended trades during levels 1-5, as her kit is designed for early game dominance.
- Avoid using your R reactively to her R, as good Ambessa players will bait it out and re-engage when it's on cooldown with their superior mobility.
