How to play it

Dodge her Q
Her Q hits hard and adds max-HP physical damage: dash through it or sidestep the Q2 slam, then brute-force the trade while it's on cooldown.
Your kill window
Q the wave to hit level 2 first, then crash and freeze on your side: Ambessa can't escape a frozen or extended wave, so force the all-in and run her down.
Empowered W her shield
Hold fury for an empowered W whenever she dashes in: it instantly breaks her shield and strips her damage mitigation.
Never trade into her when she has a big minion wave or the wave on her side: that's the only state where her short W-trades and dashes actually beat you.
