Question 1

Match his Q

Accepted Answer

Always keep W up to match his Q: once your ability is cast his silence can't cancel your dash, and if your W is ready you should never get clipped by his E.

Question 2

When to engage

Accepted Answer

Engage when his W is down, or when both his Q and E are on cooldown: those are your open windows to commit.

Question 3

WE out of his combo

Accepted Answer

To escape his Q→E combo, W then instant E before his Q lands: the E cancels your W dash and pulls you clear.

Question 4

Go bruiser to hold

Accepted Answer

You're stronger in lane, but he outscales pre-rework: go full bruiser (Death's Dance, Endless Hunger) to keep beating him into mid and late game.

Question 5

What should you never do as Ambessa vs Garen?

Accepted Answer

Never fight him without your W available: matching his Q with W is the whole lane, and getting silenced and ulted is how he kills you in teamfights.
