Tips & Tricks

  • 1.Weave auto attacks between abilities to maximize damage output and proc on-hit effects
  • 2.Use your dash from E to reposition aggressively in trades, then disengage before the enemy can retaliate
  • 3.Ambessa excels in extended trades — commit to all-ins when you have Conqueror stacked
  • 4.Your ultimate is a strong teamfight engage tool; flank from fog of war for maximum impact
  • 5.Manage your resource bar carefully; going all-in without enough stamina leaves you unable to combo
