How to play it

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