Who Wins
- You lose early trades levels 1-3 due to Ambessa's superior base stats, range advantage, and ability to trade with Q then disengage.
- At level 6, you still struggle as her R gives her massive mobility and damage that can match your Q resets in extended fights.
How to Trade
- Your best trading pattern is to Q onto her when she's used her mobility spells, then auto-W-auto for the damage reduction and healing.
- You need to commit fully to extended trades since short trades heavily favor her kit and base damages.
Wave Control
- You should focus on freezing the wave near your tower and farming safely, as pushing leaves you vulnerable to her engage potential.
- Only look to break freezes when you have jungle assistance, as solo wave clearing puts you in her optimal trading range.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't try to match her early aggression or take short trades thinking your W will sustain through her damage.
- Her Q mobility and passive allow her to dictate trade timing, and attempting to fight on her terms will put you significantly behind.
