Playing against Ambessa
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
Ambessa is very mobile but predictable: each dash follows an auto-attack. If she misses an ability, her mobility is reduced.
Avoid fighting in tight spaces: her mobility lets her catch up to you easily in the jungle.
Respect her ult: the suppression cannot be cleansed by Cleanse. Only QSS works.
