Who Wins
- Ambessa wins levels 1-3 with superior mobility and burst damage from her Q combos and E dash.
- At level 6, you gain significant power with R's lifesteal and resistances, but Ambessa still holds advantage if she can kite properly with her mobility.
How to Trade
- Focus on short trades using Q when Ambessa uses abilities on minions or mispositions.
- Your W slow can help you disengage after landing Q, but avoid extended trades as her Q resets and mobility will outdamage your sustain early.
Wave Control
- Freeze the wave near your tower to force Ambessa to overextend for farm and stacks.
- Push only when you have R available and can contest her all-ins, as slow pushing gives her opportunities to zone you from minions.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't chase Ambessa with W when she has Q charges available, as she can easily kite you and turn the trade.
- Avoid fighting in her minion waves early game where her Q can hit both you and minions for energy refund.
