How KR Challengers Use Ambessa

[@LoLDobby]

If you know how to use it properly, it’s quite a strong champ You can check the current Ambessa build here▼ www.deeplol.gg/champions/ambessa/build/top?tier=Diamond+&version=14.22 www.deeplol.gg/summoner/KR/1vsAll-KR1

[@RBisRacingBoynotRedBull]

Renekton is a hard counter to her with his sustain, deleting shield, undodgeable stun and a dashing tool. He can cast Q while moving is a thing. Furthermore, Renekton can abuse Stridebreaker to slow which counter Ambessa's passive scaling on her movement speed.

[@eebbaa5560]

another similarity between ambessa and riven: renekton is the worst matchup

[@blacklight1104]

I've used Mordekaiser against her and she was surprisingly easy to deal with. Just bonk her for days since she needs to close in while staving off her harass with the shield. Once your ult comes she becomes free dinner. With Darius it's how much damage you can take and how fast you can stack before all-in with ult.

[@sleepypotato7183]

A lot of simple champs counters her. Garen, poppy, voli, and pretty much most juggernauts who could counter her dash and tanky enough to outlive her first rotation. Even Nasus could somewhat fight her back. On the other hand, she counters some champs hard. Sion for example is Ambessa’s prime target. All of his skills are easily dodgeable and he cant even escape with ult as Ambessa’s teleports her to his back.

[@musicaltarrasque]

@@sleepypotato7183 Into sion is a 50/50 at best. If its tank sion, sion wins, if its baus' assassin sion, ambessa win

[@sleepypotato7183]

@@musicaltarrasque If the Ambessa still builds arpen like usual, then she deserved to lose. The Ambessa I've seen adapted to his build and rush Black cleaver with Ravenous Hydra or just plain Eclipse depending how fed you are. She poked him to death and dance around like he's nothing more like a punching bag. It was an emerald ranked match, mind you. Mordekaiser is also a similar case to her. She doesn't even let Mord get the 3rd stack of his passive at some fights. As the jungler at the time, it was painful to watch.

[@ahmadafizzubairee9812]

Ambessa seems to be a hard counter with champs that are highskill ceiling. Like I cant seem to brain how they made a champ that counters other champs that requires skills while she gets rekt with champions that are simple and basic. Like I'd lose in scaling vs juggernauts like Sett, Garen or Sion but I seem to easily beat champs like Riven, Fiora or Yone toplane. Ppl dont like Ambessa or says shes OP cuz shes new is kinda of a stretch. Shes very weak against champs with high mobility and she cant really sustain in fights very long in the early to midgame. And she is easily gankable and weak against hard cc.

This seems interesting I will try it out but I think the resilience tree is really necessary in top lane as she gets easily Stat checked by half the toplaners but I imagine it can be good mid or in a good match-up

[@lordfaust352]

I know the videos recommends sudden impact for the extra damage and a lot of people use it but resilience also feels good on her due to weak early bone plating can make the difference

[@Shikatsuyatsuke]

@@lordfaust352 I always take Resilience tree with the Shield Bash rune. I honestly think it's her most powerful sub-rune. With the amount of shielding she gets from her W, and how short the cooldown gets into the late game, she's proc'ing Shield Bash constantly, and getting very respectable damage off of it since the rune's damage scales off of 15% of the shield. And Ambessa can get some pretty massive shields. I've been averaging 1500-3000 damage off Shield Bash every game with her, depending on game length.

[@user-bf7td1gn3t]

[@Gannoth]

There's already a list of Ambessa counters based on Korean Ambessa mains(aka Master+ otp degens with over 500 games+ on her alr) sharing their experience on Korean forums and their equivalent of Reddit. It is the same few champs that high elo players believe will be unplayable on paper for her pre-release. *Absolute unplayable*: Cassiopeia(HARDEST COUNTER), Wukong, Olaf, Ryze, Kennen, Zac, Riven, Heimerdinger, Renekton(HARDEST MOST PICKED META COUNTER), Quinn, Warwick, Shen, Kled, Camille, Volibear *Very hard*: Irelia, Ornn, Illaoi, Darius, Vayne, Gragas, Tryndamere, Malphite, Mordekaiser, Tahm Kench, Swain, Pantheon, Garen, Poppy, Vlad, Teemo, Sett, Maokai, Urgot, Aatrox, Gangplank, Gwen, Singed, Trundle, Jayce Everyone other champ is skill based. Varus top is still a thing in Korea and is apparently the single hardest counter to Ambessa, even harder than Cass who disables your passive whenever you try to engage or run. At least she counters Fiora, Jax, K'sante, Aurora and the wind brothers I guess, they got out dashed basically.

[@God-KingDarius]

Couple things to note: Her ult seems to place you just outside of tower range if it can when ulting an enemy under tower. I personally have had amazing success with shield bash thanks to the massive 175% bonus ad scaling on her w, adding on to the passive damage buff as well as eclipse/steraks/maw shields. Ult is amazing for catching early flashes when enemies flee a fight. GP W can negate the suppress and damage of her ult all in one, so be extra careful.

[@wilsonlee4658]

can confirm shield bash is insane on her with how much shield she is getting

[@ThiqqOrangeLeria]

The counters mentioned arent her counters from my games with her, she goes really well into anything woth no range and is also fne into garen flash q since her w after takes so much dmg away from him - renekton, yorick & yone were truly toxic so far for her. She struggles into any ranged mage and even worse if the opponent has a mobility spell on top of range. Aurora is pain as usual for her too. Her early is similar to Riven but you can poke and harass easier yet ur all in is worse until items arrive. If you mess up you lost for the rest of the game and if you get your item first you can snowball like crazy. Don't be afraid of darius garen or k'sante anymore, she fights these well tbh. Most important: abuse cyclosword and some matchups like k'sante are rewarding with grasp.

[@sleepypotato7183]

Like the video said, against range mage and adc top, bush tactics are key. I also prefer ignite over teleport if they're squishy. Forget CS early and go for poke 100%. Trade > CS until they're on kill range. Get pink ward on your 1st back and put it on the center top bush. ggwp.

im surprised people arent using trinity force, it kinda fits perfectly with her passive and the skill-auto cycling, also the ability haste rune from blue rune page seems to fit her too, getting extra cd reduction after a kill could extend her time fighting just a bit

[@mbernys4353]

poersonally after trying pretty much all of her builds i would say that ecipse shoijin cleaver is the best 3 item core for ambessa, you get so much fighting power with eclipse, a ton of ah with shoijin and cleaver synergizes rly nice with her passive ult pen making u deal almost truedmg to enemies, she benefits from ad ah and hp so amazing just like riven voltaic hydra seryldas is worth trying vs full squsihy teams tho

[@blobs819901]

PC Ambessa can't dash through wall? Damn I guess they specifically made her broken in wild rift then 😂

[@TheGabbia]

"Shes extremely squishy" well yeah, if you build Cyclosword 🤦 I'm maining her and I'm stomping almost every game cause she has great laning, dmg, movement, durability and 1v5 capability. Obviously you need to be ahead but with the right itemization and usage of her kit you will be. The first 3 items i'm having more success with are: 1st Eclipse (dmg, shield and ah, great to snowball the lane and 1v2 early); 2nd Spear of shojin (she spams abilities so its great on her and gives also hp); 3 death's dance (if youre just a little bit ahead you can 1v5 easily after this). Cyclosword can be used, sure, but only against more squishy comps and I belive its good only if you're behind to try to cheese some kills and get back in the game.

[@Dragonsoft]

Out of curiousity, what is the rank that you're basing your experiences off? I'm silver scrub btw so no shame if it's low rank

[@TheGabbia]

@Dragonsoft I've tried her in bronze, gold, diamond and at gm. Now I'm trying to 1trick her on an old account that peeked at gold2 last time I left it, and I'm having a lot of fun. Obviously the items I mention are not set in stone and you can switch something based on the matchup and enemy comp. Also KR challenger is a bubble with special metas and play style so while it's interesting it's not something that you have to base your play style on. Btw you being silver doesn't matter that much cause there are many reasons on why you might be there while knowing much more than the average silver player. I hope it is all clear even if my English isn't perfect 😅

I think she's one of those champs where she'll have to stay intentionally weak because she's unfun to fight (kinda like Zed)

[@user-ck9tb4fv2x]

So the way I've done it so far: max q > w > e, that shield on the w is so much more valuable than the healing/damage you get from e. I like to q in then w dash in. They usually react the the first q with their own damage and so the w is big here. They waste stuff. I still have e dash and the second q to follow.

she seems very similar to riven, very mobile, super snowbally, but can be forced out of the game if she falls behind due to ganks or hard counters

[@GilfOlenna]

Her legendery skin is giving epic

[@Exodus_44]

it's mel's mom from arcane

[@ckpn4771]

Several people are complaining while they're probably in queue for their 7th game of the day. You know what? Just delete the game if you already hate it so much. Don't waste your time here.

[@Erik1495]

Looks awfully fun

[@devranalacam6728]

what about wukong i feel like his trade pattern is better into ambessa so she gets stomped

[@n45a_]

nah my man kled messed up his Q 💀

[@samgregory9968]

Just a melee sylas with her ult just being some solid engage 😅

[@isuke9281]

Sylas is melee...

[@samgregory9968]

@ you right. An AD* sylas is what I meant

[@leek5682]

So I should just play rammus and proxy. Got it!

[@dariusenjoyer0311]

I enjoy using Poppy laning against Ambessa xD

[@bau9894]

what do you guys think about bringing her bot? I've had my fair share of renektons and volis demolish me so i decided to run bot and have been finding success. despite the lack of adcin the team, her backline access and burst late game makes up for it. her lvl 1-3 makes it easy to mow down and snowball the lanes aswell if you have an engage support. W with barrier is nuts btw my only gripe is that eclipse rush is mandatory and building tank items feels awful on her

[@Skylark0000]

Eclipse is awful on her. cyclosword and hydra perform much better in the stats and everybody forcing eclipse is part of why her winrate is so low.

[@theteamxxx3142]

maybe with senna

[@op_mang]

What's the song at the very end?

[@toespider]

Ambessa How Korean Challengers uses

[@musicaltarrasque]

Cho'gath is another big counter

[@vlexvv8186]

She is so broken. I’m an adc main and now I leave yone alone and start permabanning her instead

[@donger9]

Is that AMBUSSY from ARCANUSSY?!

[@MarshaloftheSky]

Why is Corki's machine gun noise bugged at 8:16 😭

[@seyconrad9757]

Her w makes her shild all the fking damage and she's insane when she's not even limited with mp restriction. Having her with conquerer just keeps her from dying for each successful kill. Way to broken honestly with her high mobility and damaga and tanky-ness. Mage type will be instant gg without mobility skills or cc

[@cosmichope3596]

should have named the champion Dash-essa

[@GreenPoaceae]

I played ambessa with Grasp of Undying/Presence of mind Stride/Black cleave She so busted af

[@eebbaa5560]

presence of mind is overkill imo. you should never run out of energy if you’re using your passive autos properly. even if you use all of your energy on her dashes to leave the fountain you’ll end up with about half your energy back by the time you reach your tower. legend: haste and last stand are much better runes for her if you’re going precision secondary.

[@01Grytz]

i think cleaver is bait on this champ, unless theres like multiple tanks.

[@eebbaa5560]

i somewhat agree with you. she already has passive armor penetration on her ultimate, but it only starts out at 10%. so there are probably more efficient options, especially against squishy champions.

[@01Grytz]

@eebbaa5560 yeah thats true, waiting till 16 is a gamble. Champs like Darius and mord don't normally build pen because it's on normal skill rank up rather than r. The only reason I'd see something like cleaver being good is if it actually allows you to do 2 combo cycles to kill someone rather than 3 if you brought another ad item.

[@theteamxxx3142]

@@eebbaa5560 against tank u need HP armor pen and sustain so i think BC is still a must in those cases otherwise u get stat check even with 10% amror pen but for bruiser matchups i agree
