How to play it

✓ DO

Don't over-chase

Her dashes let her slip away — chasing before your first item just burns your cooldowns and mana.

Item spike

Once you get Iceborn, its slow cuts her dash speed so you can finally stick to her — by Navori she can't escape the 1v1.

Play slow early

Her cooldowns are long and don't hit hard, so just farm the lane until your first item comes online.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never hard-chase Ambessa early — you can't catch her before your first item and you'll just waste cooldowns.
