How to play it

Her E executes
Her E is an execute that does more the lower you are: top off with potions so she can't delete you.
Bait then reengage
Bait out her ult, then reengage with R: or reaction-test her with R and burst her down before she can panic-ult.
Don't over-dash
Don't spend all your cooldowns dashing in: if she catches you empty she can all-in and run you down with Lethal Tempo and her passive.
Never expend all your cooldowns dashing into her: an empty Ambessa gets run down by her Lethal Tempo all-in.
