Ambessa Matchups Overview

Ambessa General information

Ambessa tips and tricks

Try to keep the minion wave even or closer to your tower. Freezing allows you to abuse your insane mobility to take down champions who are positioned too far forward.

When committing to an all-in, check your energy bar first. Commit to all-ins when you have a lot of energy, as your full combo may be interrupted if you lack energy.

Ambessa benefits from extended trades. Instead of short ones, go for long trades where you can get multiple attacks off.
