Who this champion beats in lane, and who beats it.Who counters Ambessa and who Ambessa beats
Ambessa is dripping with mobility, but she still has to win her fights at melee range, and that is where she can be punished. Her damage is sustained rather than instant, so anyone who can out-duel her in a long brawl or simply refuse to die in her kill window flips the matchup. The brace on her W only rewards her when she blocks a big committed hit, so steady damage over time and effects that ignore that window chew right through her. Her slow on E is short range and her ultimate is her one real lockdown tool, so once it is down she is much easier to fight straight up. To beat Ambessa, bring a duelist who out-sustains her, a way to survive her all in, or enough toughness that her dive simply stalls out. When you pick her, respect that diving the wrong target into a fight you cannot finish quickly is how she gets blown up.
