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

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.”

JB says “More broken champ. her q1 deals more at the edges so try to sidestep or dash out and her q2 deals crazy dmg to first enemy it hits so try to dodge it and stand behind minions if she manages her cooldowns well and spaces well generally is playing well you cant really kill her because of her crazy shielding , gap close and disengage power and % armor pen on ult she and she outscales you on top. But she can hardly kill you if you play smart. if you can hit w on her you win the trade but you need to use e to dodge her q. she also has long cooldowns early game and you can punish her easly punish her if she misteps. also you can cancel her dashes with your w and ult so you can lock her down quite effectively. if you ever get ahead it becomes much easier.”

RandumPersin says “Take conq, and this champ doesn't really do anything with her poor early game damage. Our W breaks her W shield, our E matches her mobility in lane, and our Q + R super outclass hers at all stages of the laning phase through the midgame. We get to statcheck her for most of the game, and that's almost always a winning recipe for the croc.”

ShawamaO2 says “annoying aaah champ think of it as the aatrox matchup but harder and more favored for ambessa ”

Azzin says “Very annoying to play against because she's really hard to catch. Once you get stride you can just win any all-in with lethal. Try to focus on dodging her Q/ not giving her free grasp procs”
asuratop1 says “Ritmo Fatal pra jogar Side Conquistador pra TF. (Escudo de Doran sempre) A lane é do Jax até o lv9, quando ela estiver de Eclipse fechado e 5 pontos no Q fica impossível de ganhar, se a Ambessa for boa. Sabendo disso, você tem que tentar abusar o máximo possível das fraquezas dela até o primeiro item, Ritmo Fatal é a runa perfeita pra isso. Eu recomendo rush de Fago+Couraça de pano pra você ter uma lane consistente, sempre desvie do Q2 dela e tente punir quando ela não tiver o W, é a unica forma de ganhar. Na side-lane, é o mesmo da matchup vs Aatrox, trocas curtas beneficiam a Ambessa, all-win beneficia o Jax. Melhor build para Side-Lane: Trinity > Tiamat > Presa da Serpente > Quebrapassos (bota de cdr) Melhor build para Team-Fight: Trinity, Céu Dividido, Zhonyas.”
zwartebliksem says “She will pretty much always outtrade you, since you can't hit her. Her abilties have long cooldowns early, stand back and only trade when her CD's are down.”

ExiledRain says “Power level: This would be a skill matchip where Riven having a slight edge on early and it shift towards Ambessa as game goes on. Game plan: Her idea is to land abilities + AA so she can keep chaining them.But they can get dizzy jumping all the time and missposition themselves.So your plan is to look for early misspositioning and punishing it, you can fight her since lvl 1 but keep in mind she can jump in and out with poke, so dance around her damage and try to catch her.On lvl 6 you at all costs avoid being hit by her R which should be relativelly easy, then keep beating her. Tips: Her R passive gives her % Pen on each step so keep that in mind If she does not land and ability on anything she dont get refund and her chain is interrupted so in isolation making her miss her abilities is a big win, especially her R.”

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.”

Crow7420 says “Cancer champ, but has 0 mobility and terrible clear.”
Wyvernwolfy says “hard to hit a W on an always moving target. Oh, and she'll just kill you.”
AD Jhingle by Wyvernwolfy | Jhin Player
MannerlessNG says “Dangerous. She's got the Arcane treatment and will straight up out champion you most cases. If you are ahead, she's not too bad, though her tankiness never ceases to amaze me. Add to that her million dashes and great engage ulti and she can basically remove you from play. You'll need to do the best you can within a small burst window, so don't try gank her at full hp if you don't have a very CC heavy top laner, because she'll easily walk back to turret. If she wins lane, she can basically be a decent threat the whole game, with impressive damage to boot, so just exercise caution around her.”

Hazardist says “[[Ambessa]] received a change that prevented her dashes from going through player-created terrain, such as [[Yorick]]'s [[dark procession]]. Ever since then, she has become very easy for [[Yorick]] to deal with and is one of the easiest matchups you can ask for in the [[Jungle]], but you will also be suited up to keep an enemy top lane [[Ambessa]] in check. Runeset to take: [[Conqueror]].”

basrty1p says “Your E counter her so much. Just peel and avoid her ult at all costs. The rest of the game will be easy for you.”
kittygore says “Very annoying kit but a bad jungler overall. Play around bushes to dodge her dashes.”
Nyxxx says “Please. Don't let her get ahead. If she does then good luck.”
