Champion Build Guide

My playstyle explained

Im an Ambessa player that rarly builds any boots cause my setup allows me to skip them.

The reason is simple if i go bluepet and then complete my jungle quest i will already get good movespeed and my champ already has so many dashes to gapclose. The only reason i would build boots is if im not able to get close to enemy with my build.

And the second reason is cause of Top and Adc rolequest. As Top you are most of the time 1 or 2 sometimes 3 lvl ahead and as jungle i cant compete against them cause of that. As ADC you get 6 items and more gold and you are able to still have boots. My logic behind it is if i skip boots i am able to get my itempowerspikes faster and Ambessa is one of those champs with the craziest Stats scaeling in the game in my opinion.

What to build when...!?

I have a very unique playstyle compared to other Ambessa players so you dont have to replicate everything i do.

If you cant play the way i play thats totally fine!!!

Hubris or Profanehydra

If you are able to get 2+ kills after your first or second jungle clear you can go for hubris. If you dont manage to get those kills you go for Profanehydra.

(But if you have to go for spezial items you cant build hubris even if you snowball!!!) It will take an item slot you eventually need for a spezial item.

Serpants Fang

Serpants fang is a very good item against champions that have shields for example Kaisa, Lulu, Karma. Most of the time your the only champ that can build it.
I recomend to build it either as 2 or 3 Item it depends on how quick you need it.

In rare situations i build it first!!!

Qss

Qss can be very important in matchups like malzahar or morgana.
I also recomend it in heavy cc matchups. But still prio the other items befor building it.

(you can also build the first part of the item and the rest later)

Dont forget it doesnt help against ground or knockup!!!

Mortalreminder

Mortalreminder is the kind of item i would build if i need antiheal and armorpen and cant aford to waste itemslots.

I dont want to build blackcleaver and chempunkchainsaw. I only build that if i go more supportive/tankier and my team will carry me anyways.

Its a 6k+ Gold buy vs a 3k Gold buy so its way better!!!

Shieldbow

Shieldbow i very rarly buy. Its only value i get against champs with executes like Darius or Garen.

(only in squishy builds i buy it)

Umbral Glaive

Umbral Glaive i go when i have enemys like Teemo or Shaco as example.

(or sometimes if the enemy is warding alot)

Guardian Angle

Guardian Angle is an item i build to deny reset champions as example Jinx, Viego, Darius and more.

Also good to buy time in teamfights or into heavy AD enemy teams.

Spirit Visage

Spirit Visage is a good item in combination together with Maw of Malmortius into heavy AP enemy teams.

(can be good if enemy team is playing with 2 AP carrys)

(can also be build if your team has many enchanter/support/squishy champs and your the only champ with the capability to frontline for the team)

Edge of Night

Edge of Night is such a good item against Fiddlesticks, Twisted Fate or any champ with an AOE or single targed cc spell ability.

I dont recomend it against to many cc champs cause you lose the shield and then get followup cc anyways. (no value at that point anymore)

Threats explained

Your biggest threats are champs with ground and heavy longlasting cc and shieldbreaker champs.

Against Ground you can only really build tankier(Armor or Magicresist or Health) but its basically unplayable if you sit inside a cassiopeia W as an example.

Against CC you can either go Edge of Night, Qss or you build Tenacity Items like Steraks Cage, Endless Hunger or Mercs.

If enemy team has champs like Renekton, Rell or any Serpants Fang users like Talon, Khazix or Zed then you sould start building more of a sutain based build and more health. (Bruiser and Tank Items combined)

Synergies explained

The best way to snowball for Ambessa is if you have good synergies in your team as example Top: Shen, Mid: Orianna, Adc: Kaisa and Support: Renata.

The point of it is they have either Utility that is Supportive and agressive or they can follow up on your engage with dmg or further cc spells.
