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 Yone

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Back off after two Mortal Steels

    Get out of his line after two Mortal Steel (Q) hits: the next one makes him dash forward and knocks the enemies hit into the air.

  2. Avoid his hits in spirit form

    During Soul Unbound (E), avoid taking hits: when he snaps back, part of all the damage he dealt you is repeated.

  3. Trap his return

    If you have ground-targeted CC, place it on the body he left behind: when Soul Unbound (E) ends, he has to return there.

  4. Judge him by his crit items

    Judge his threat by his crit items more than his level: Way of the Hunter (passive) raises his critical strike chance, so each crit item does more for him.

  5. Don't line up with your allies

    In teamfights, don't line up with your allies in front of him: Fate Sealed (R) hits every enemy in a line and knocks them into the air toward him.
