Tips Against Ambessa in Top Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors

DemicleasTTV says “Generally annoying and bad, scales ABSURDLY well but it weak early so shouldnt be too opressive, killable pre 11 afterwards she will not die UPDATE : Moved up to 5, honestly might be the worst matchup against good ambessa players. IF BELOW MASTER DODGE. IF ABOVE GOOD LUCK HAVE FUN!!!!”

Jellybombs says “Ambessa has a lot of dashes, she can easily dodge your skills but she's not as strong when you ult her”

Glenn Silver says “go cosmic insight. don't ever use E to start a fight. give her a W if she's in auto range and walk behind her. Only use autos now until you have full stacks. then you can give her a quick AA + W + Q combo (with animation canceling) and hook her back into the fight if she tries to escape. you can also buy serpents fang if you want, but not as 2nd or 3rd.”

Saneryus says “Same early game as irelia. Only you don't need ignite. Start E, and poke her if she gets in range. Then stack passive. Then walk up and contest (try not to do it in her wave though). Then shove cannon. Once 6, only fight her if wave is on your side and your passive stacked. If she engages on you without your passive stacked, simialr to irelia, you will lose. Level 16, you should auto win. Becareful as she has 4 dashes, 2 on Q, W, and E (technically 2 short dashes). Standard PTA | (AS / Adaptive / 65HP DBlade Q Max Swifty Rush”
Trundledaddy says “Really hard matchup, second wind -> dshield and chill pray for team gap ”
Claude Rains says “Can be annoying, esp. if you do not keep the distance proper. Make sure to get boots early, prolly the small zhonya item (1600g) to have more armor and more sustain on lane.”

zwartebliksem says “Flash + Ignite Not one of Kled's best matchups, but it is one of Ambessa's worst matchups. Ambessa will look for a short trade with her passive stack and grasp, then get out, but this won't work against Kled. She has no CC, so she cannot really run from you if you land your Q + E. Her cooldowns have a really long cooldown early, so look to punish her for using them. If Ambessa is holding her abilities, look for a short trade, even if it's a bad trade for you. Your abilities will be up sooner than hers, so zone her from the wave until then.”

TENSION019 says “This might sound funny, but I’ve never actually faced an Ambessa Top in a real game. Still, I can imagine what the lane would be like. Take Grasp of the Undying and Ignite. Start with Plated Steelcaps as your first item. She’s quite an unbalanced champion early on, so avoid extended trades and play safe in lane. Try to use your R to kidnap her and toss her under your turret. She’ll likely escape quickly using one of her dashes, so to prevent that, you can cast your W slightly behind her escape route to block her path. But be careful because that’s a risky move, and missing it could backfire badly. If she has her shield up, don’t hit her she’ll reflect the damage back at you. Make sure to play around that and punish only when it’s safe.”

G Experience Requem says “Thts surprise, but current Top1 Toplaner is not a problem. Why? You are stronger on lvl1 and can play very agressive on first wave. Only thing you need to beware of - her E spell, its bigF dmg on close combat fights”

Inting Briar says “Honestly, no comment. A billion dashes. Don't fall for her ult bait. She will always dive you under tower. Build boots first if you are falling off.”

L0ganJG says “Ambessa has decent clear speed but her ganks are pretty weak. Early game you should be able to generate a decent advantage by default clearing and regular ganks. W1 towards her and let her use some spells to create distance then use your Q that you saved. Try to W2 late if she shields herself early. Her mid/late game around 3+ items, she can start to kite you while dealing more damage. Be aware of this and start changing targets or punishing her with your team. ”
PeteMKT says “ambessa, ahhh, ambessa, um personagem ridículo de forte, dificil de se manter longe dela ela tem muita mobilidade terrena, diferente dos kindred que tem mobilidade aérea podendo pular quase todos os terrenos. ela causa muito dano, tem um alto sustein e consegue utilizar suas habilidades consegue ter uma utilidade em TFs muito grande.”

heybeyoo says “Same as aatrox you need to care lvl 1 on raptors. Also buy Serpent 3rd item bcs ambessa have a strong shiled on W and shes most likely going eclipse first item.”

Amothertruckingunicorn says “Reaches you from super far and when you're fighting her her shields are super good into your plant damage+dashes make it easy for her to stick. ”

MiniBlue says “Even if she has so many jumps thanks to her passive, she has to play it with caution as you do against her; with patience you can win.”
MiniBlue says “Aun si tiene muchos saltos gracias a su pasiva, debe jugar con cabeza contra ti y tu debes jugar con paciencia contra ella.”
ludenbergangel says “Not worth 1v1ing her unless she's behind or you land your R on her. You can W dash to dodge her R”
raphnalin says “We clear faster, have stronger 1v1s, and better scaling. Just don't let her get fed.”

Hazardist says “Ambessa's wide array of dashes makes it near impossible to land skillshots on her reliably, but her damage isn't much greater than yours and she loses easily if outnumbered. Runeset to take: Phase Rush.”
