Ambessa's abilities

Passive, spells and ultimate

Drakehound's Step (P)

Entering an attack or movement command while casting an ability will cause Ambessa to dash a short distance once the ability is cast, granting her next attack bonus range, damage, and attack speed, and refunding energy.

Playing against Ambessa

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

1

Ambessa is very mobile but predictable: each dash follows an auto-attack. If she misses an ability, her mobility is reduced.

2

Avoid fighting in tight spaces: her mobility lets her catch up to you easily in the jungle.

3

Respect her ult: the suppression cannot be cleansed by Cleanse. Only QSS works.
