How to play it

Don't get caught
She wins if she's on top of you with abilities up: her damage is all AOE, so never let her dash on and freeze you.
Punish her dash-in
If she burns her dashes to chase you, punish it: trade back heavily or even kill her while she's committed and her abilities are down.
Bait onto the wave
Stand on top of the minion wave to bait her AOE out safely, so it lands on creeps instead of freezing onto you.
Never let Ambessa get on top of you with her abilities up: that's exactly when she wins.
