Playing as Ambessa

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Weave an auto between spells

    Weave an auto between spells: Drakehound's Step (passive) empowers it and refunds energy, while your three basic spells cost 70 each.

  2. Hit with the edge of your sweep

    Hit with the edge of Cunning Sweep (Q): enemies caught by the edge take much more damage, and landing it readies Sundering Slam (Q).

  3. Short trades with your dash

    Take a short trade: Cunning Sweep (Q), an auto, then Lacerate (E) with a dash backward, which adds a strike at the end of the dash.

  4. Jump on their carry

    Cast Public Execution (R) toward the enemy carry: you blink to the farthest enemy champion in the line you choose, nothing can stop you, and you suppress them.

Playing against Bel'Veth

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Back off from her true form

    Back off when she takes her true form with Endless Banquet (R): she gains health, range and attack speed, and with enough stacks, the form lasts until she dies.

  2. Dodge her tail slam

    Dodge Above and Below (W): if it hits you, you take a knock-up and her Void Surge (Q) in your direction is refreshed instantly.

  3. Don't be the lowest on health

    If you're the lowest-health enemy near her, get out of Royal Maelstrom (E) range: every slash targets you, and she gains lifesteal and damage reduction.

  4. Deny her camps and kills

    Deny her large monsters and kills: Death in Lavender (passive) gives her permanent attack speed for each one.
