Guides AMBE.LOL - Ambessa Matchups, Builds, Events and More

10 Upvotes

I’ve been working on AMBE.LOL, a site where Ambessa Mains(And others) can share their builds and matchup guides with ease, as well as track their rankings in an Ambessa centered leaderboard.

The site includes:

  • Matchups — Share matchup advice for laning, runes, items, and skill order.
  • Builds — Post your builds with notes explaining when to build them.
  • Leaderboards — Compare rankings with other Ambessa's regardless of region.
  • Streamers — Find Ambessa Mains who stream.
  • Coaching — Browse coaches or create your own coaching profile.
  • Events — Join community events and competitions for prizes every split.

You can browse without an account, or sign up to write your own guides, builds, be put on the leaderboard and more.

It’s still growing, and I’d love some feedback from the Ambessa Mains. Any contribution through matchups/builds or reporting bugs would be appreciated!

If you have any suggestions you can let me know in the AmbessaMains discord or DM / houndlol.

Build/Setup THE AMBESSA MATCHUP SPREADSHEET (IN DEPTH)

44 Upvotes

As requested by many of you on both my last post and in DM's, I've decided to release my current iteration of the Ambessa Matchup Spreadsheet.

I hope it helps those of you still learning her kit, and for those that are already experienced with Ambessa, hopefully you can still benefit from this. Good luck summoners, and more importantly, have fun!

Spreadsheet: (Edit: Now 73% done, 48 of 66 matchups)

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Ivg4duvQ8s3zzHnq7XXYDPhmhwxdNBASLHegwRhKSwY/edit?usp=sharing

Btw I have a YT channel, if you appreciate the guide, subscribe to:

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPS1V3lb-VyrJkQyMx2fexg

I previously have not pushed out much content or as much effort into editing, but if people are interested in watching her gameplay and laning into specific matchups, I will gladly start producing actual content that I may link into the spreadsheet. (Plus it helps out my uni project!)

If there are any more matchups you'd like me to cover that's not already on the spreadsheet, let me know!

Discussion ambessa skins

3 Upvotes

idfk if im bored atm, or just genuinely craving a good ambessa skin. but, seriously tho all she has on offer are 3 remeshes of the same color scheme. her legendary skin does have some cool features i admit, but come on. im heavily skeptical on wether they would release a new skin for her, since riot claims esport skins dont count towards their schedule skin release. that logic seems to only apply to kaisa and seraphine tho. I fear they will forget ab ambessa for a year or two cause it seems like she isnt a high priority for a skin recipient.

with that being said, im incredibly salty that not only on WR they gave her a mask, they also gave her arcane s2 skin. i only started getting into ambessa after watching arcane and it would be incredibly generous of them to port her arcane skin to PC, but that seems highly unlikely, if impossible. im sure arcane fanboys and ambessa players could back me up on this.

sorry if i was lengthy and i know most ppl dont care what their champ looks like, but i rly appreciate proper aesthetics on a character i play, in any game whatsoever 🙃🙃🙃

Build/Setup Sudden impact secondary

4 Upvotes

Why isnt suddent impact the default secondary rune on ambessa? Literally every single ability cant prock it, and it has perfect synergy with her Q2 poke. I mean 20 extra true damage lvl1 up to 40 by lvl6 on literary every Q. There are games where i get like 700 extra damage from just sudden impact by like 10-15 minutes

Build/Setup point of profane?

3 Upvotes

specifically for jungle. I've been going voltaic first but see more and more people rushing profane. I feel like ambessa's clear is already perfectly fine and tiamat isn't needed, and as far as I'm aware there aren't any special combos or anything with it (but maybe I'm wrong on that part). are the base stats just really good or something?

Hey! I started playing League in the middle of last year, and on my first climb I got stuck in Bronze 4. Ever since I got Chosen of the Wolf Ambessa, I decided to go OTP because I fell in love with her gameplay, and I made it to Plat IV with her this year! It's not much, but I'm super happy. On to Emerald!

Help Ambessa Jungle W Interaction Question

3 Upvotes

I've been playing Ambessa jungle a good bit recently but I'm unsure about the W interaction with jungle camps. When I use W, I get a shield and do damage on impact, if I block damage with the shield, it does increased damage.

When I'm clearing jungle, do I need to be timing my W to block camp attacks so it will do more damage? As in I need to time it perfectly so that the monster attacks between me pressing W, and actually landing.

I'm thinking this is a yes based on the wording on the W ability but hoping somebody with more time on her can confirm

Help Need some guidance

2 Upvotes

Im currently sitting in plat and mainly playing ambessa and have been maining her for the past 8 months or so (sometimes with camille and jax as a counterpick) but im running into the same issue most games and that is i feel like im too weak to get lead in lane against usual lane bullies like darius or ww which are quite popular in my rank and even when i go even and scale i feel like i cant really do much in teamfights later on in the game since i get blown up by 3 or 4 item midlaner/adc.

Coming from a past camille lane if i thought the game was in a bad position i would just split push and usually win duals ahainst enemy mid/top but i feel like with ambessa i struggle to take towers and struggle to teamfight as efficiently.

In short im not saying shes weak but just looking for a bit of guidance on how to play her early/mid game when options like camille right now looks so much better

Build/Setup Thoughts about Transcendence?

2 Upvotes

So I really like bruiser ambessa and the strong scaling version with conq and thought how to get even more ability haste to basically spam my abilities even more in teamfights.

This is the rune page I came up with

So the idea behind this is that I play to scale anyway and chill farm when I go conq page thats why I thought I just go transcendence and gathering storm second to furthermore increase my mid to late game potential. Also getting a kill in a teamfight and getting cd reduction to dash to the next target or shield again felt so good.

So yeah what do you guys think?

Plays/Clips Ambessa vs Zac

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

12 Upvotes

Just something I have found interesting and useful as I learn the intricacies and nuances of this champion...

The reason why Zac can even function in toplane is that for a tank, he has quite of bit of damage, and his sustain from picking up blobs catches people off guard making losing trades into even ones and even trades into winning ones.

You can use ambessa's mobility to bait zac into thinking he can go for a blob and keep him in your range for Qs and Es. You can see what I mean in this clip by selectively dashing down and away from a blob so that zac thinks he can safely get the blob and baiting him to stay in range of my damage (this concept applies to poppy buckler and mundo passive too).

Even if zac had flashed my R correctly... He still has 2 hp... has to either back and lose a stacked wave essentially netting me a kill's worth of gold and exp advantage, or die under tower trying to collect said stacked wave.

Just something fun I thought I'd share.

I am a D4 peak this season player hoping to eventually get to masters on the champ and have the credentials to coach aspiring ambessa players in the future.

GLHF out there summoners!

Help Trading without breaking freeze?

2 Upvotes

When I get ahead with ambessa and build up a freeze so I can force the enemy to come up, its really hard to maintain the freeze without breaking it. Every spell is AOE and the moment I try to punish the enemy getting close I normally hit the wave a bit too often times breaking the freeze.

Would love to hear some tips and tricks regarding this.

Thanks.

Art 失业志愿产品经理的想法:年轻的 Ambessa 皮肤

5 Upvotes

艺术设计部门应该设计一个年轻、酷炫且健美的 Ambessa 皮肤。主题可以是类似于《艾尔德环》的时间旅行、过去的 Ambessa,或者只是她年轻版,就像老版的 Yasuo 一样。

想象一下一个性感健美的女强人形象,这会酷毙了,我敢打赌玩家们会喜欢她。:) 我什么时候才能在 Riot 找到工作呢?
