Champion Build Guide
basic information
This jungle ambessa build centers around her insane scalings,eairly game weakness being avoided,***ination capbililties even on the tankest of targets and insane abililty to power farm due to her clear speed and scaling on clear speed with items.
The (close too) optimal clear is provided in the attached youtube video can also clear sub 3:15 on a red side start if nesscary to path into ganksetup ambessa is always a full clearing champion who sucks at cheese ganks before first clear and also cant invade well due to lack of eairly strength. Perfering to clear until hitting her 6 and continueing to perma clear while ult is on cooldown

runes explained
phase rush is taken as the keystone rune for 2 reasons
1. phase rush itself gives her the capbililty to escape after a ***ination and also allows her to input her abilites faster due to her dash scaling with 100% ms causing them to complete faster therefor less lockout before next abililty cast.
2. ambessa generally enjoys the sorcery tree of runes with transendence and gathering storm being gold standard runes for her
domination secondary is taken for ultimate hunter giving you the abililtly to gank more often

itemisation
starting item :
green pet is by far the option as this build lacks any hp items / defensive items the sheild it provides is more useful then any other option
first back:
1k:dirk
1.050k:triple long sword (more damage then dirk)
1.350k:dirk+longsword
1.4k:4 long swords
anything more buy hubris componenets
hubris first item :
hubris is already decently stat efficent compared to most lethailty items at 98% ( not factoring passive) only going up for every passive stack what ambessa jungle accells at getting ambessa also has some of the highest ad ratios in the game
building second item:
complete voltatic > brutalizer > pickaxe > ionians boots > longswords > mote
priotize in this order
voltatic second item : its a no brainer very effective utlises passive insanely well make sure to auto weave properly in your burst
seruldas third item : comparrible pen to opportunity against base armour gives haste more effective then opportunity against anyone with bonus armour slows nice
fourth item : this is where the first real decision is offered with 3 primary options
1. opportunity : way more burst then any other option speed is great for snowballing fights or added escape best option while snowballing and not able to buy deaths dance in 1 back
2. deaths dance: best survabililty item in the game she utlises the passive incredibly well incredibly gold efficent base stats take in games where the enemy team is 40% or more ad damage and needing survabililty
3. maw of the malmordius : by far the worst option only should be taken into 70% ap or more
5th item :
apply the arguments of the previous 2 items removing the already purcahsed one
honourable mentions if your feeling spicy
blood thirster : big ad big healing
sunderred sky : big auto attack damage
both genreally worst then previous options however

first 20 minitues
for the first miniute your main objective is too farm and scale looking for leads where possible as she buys items her clear becomes insanely fast so if you get eairly gold leads you snowball out of controll however not nesscary for succes
general playstyle already covered perfering farm over anything else looking for ganks in down time between clears and when ults avalible
objective priotisation
1. grubs :too stop the lack luster eairly jungle pressence causing tower loss and to patch poteiontal bleeding of tower gold
2. drakes : scales well removes mid game pressure giving the option to give drakes
3. herald : this objective sucks *** compared to other avalible objectives unless you loose first 3 kills feat and 3 objectives and first tower arent claimed

post 20 miniutes and teamfighting
GET ATAKHAN
I CANT
EXAGRATE THIS ENOUGH
THIS OBJECTIVE IS SUPER STRONG SHE CAN KILL IT QUICKLY AND SHE LOVES LEVEL ADVANTAGES
she generally perfers to play a pick based playstyle picking off a target before the fight starts playing around vision control is very affective as face checking into her gives her the opportunity to burst someone before the rest of there team has the opportunity react
her teamfighting playstyle revolves around her abililty to isolate and 1 shot people within the chaos removing the damage threats and then obliterating any remaining frontline she doesnt discriminate in who she insta kills being able to insta kill most champions within 1 if squishy 2 if tank while also doing aoe damage able too kill multiple targets at once
priotise low mobililty backlines with ult in teamfights as there more consistent ult targets and any backline acces is better then non try to avoid entering fights head on as she can often just get cc chained or chunked hard if approaching a fight this way play around off angles
