Who Wins
- You win pre-6 through superior range and poke, but Ambessa's level 2 all-in with Q-E can be dangerous if you're caught without E.
- Post-6 you maintain advantage through R engage potential and better teamfight presence, though her R gives her strong dive potential.
How to Trade
- Your optimal trading is Q poke into auto-W proc for Electrical Surge, then E away before she can gap close with her dashes.
- Never try to extended trade without your E available as escape, since her sustained damage will outduel you in melee range.
Wave Control
- Push early waves with Q-W to establish range advantage and recall timing, but be careful of overextending past river without vision.
- Maintain slow push into crash patterns to deny her farm while staying safe from jungle ganks.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste E aggressively for poke or wave clear when Ambessa has her gap closers available.
- Getting caught in melee range without your escape will result in heavy trades or death, especially post-6 when she can R-dive you.
