Ambessa Guide
Tips for Playing Against Ambessa
- -Her Q does a ridiculous amount of percent max health damage. You'll have to be careful of that throughout the game, and I would completely avoid fighting her when it's up.
- -If she uses Q on waveclear you have a window to try and mess her up, but be careful as the cooldown goes down to like 10s without ability haste at rank 5, and the CD starts on cast.
- -Her ult is her only form of immobilizing CC, and it isn't easy to hit, so sometimes you can play a bit risky if they don't have a jungler that can CC/catch you. Just make sure you know if you need to keep W up to get out.
Good Items to Use Against Ambessa
-
Iceborn Gauntlet
Iceborn is probably a decent option. I haven't tried it, but the idea is that it gives you a little bit of survivability with armor vs her max HP, while also giving enough health and making it so she has trouble escaping if you can beat her.
-
Swiftness Boots
Swifties! I love Swifties! I almost always take Swifties anyways, but it's really nice for being able to keep distance from her, or run her down if she messes up.
-
Heartsteel
Heartsteel jumpscare. I know she does a lot of %HP damage, but I think if you're careful this item is great anyways if you can stay even or ahead, especially if they have squishy targets you can pop elsewhere.
