I think this is the worst lane for Ambessa. His kit counters you and have less CD than you. Try to survive with grasp and take W lv1. You outscales him tho.
Poppy
Bully you in lane and out of lane. Poppy is just a menace for high mobility champions. Take grasp and try to farm up. You can out perform her in teamfight if plays well.
Irelia
A good Irelia can destroy you easily. Keep one of your ability up for her E. You are better than her in teamfight.
You can catch her on side lanes, no allied minion nearby = free kill.
Kennen
Annoying rat. Nothing you can do in this lane. Take grasp and try to cs. You out-scale him at two items and mercs.
Darius
He runs you down with ghost. Use your passive to dodge his Q sweet spot and you're good to go. Matchup is hard if you're new to Ambessa.
Warwick
Aww hell nah. Try to farm up and don't get baited by his low hp.
Volibear
You can't do anything vs him and he can't do anything to you either. This lane is about who engage first that person will lose.
Olaf
Kite him with your passive during trades. You can bait his ult by using ult then jump away.
Aatrox
Abuse him with your passive. You won't ever get pulled by his W unless you fucked up really bad. Get anti-heal first back.
Illaoi
Dodge her E and you're fine.
Tryndamere
Don't let him cheese first 3 levels. You out trade him with W. Get tabi first in this match-up.
Gnar
He's really weak early when mini gnar. Spam your abilities in his face and bully him. Careful when he get his tabis and trinity force.
Camille
Save your W for her E. Camille have no wave clear so try to freeze then all-in her. Late game 1v1 she might beats you. Dodge her E and you're fine.
Gragas
Poke him with Q2 and try to farm up. Not much to do in this lane. Take grasp too.
Jax
This match up is really fun to play. Take bone plating. Always have W up when he engages. Your W have same CD as his E so try to utilize this. He might out-scale you if he gets ahead.
K'Sante
Skill-based matchup. Get grasp and sudden impact in this lane. You beats him in lane but be careful, one simple death can make him unkillable.
Singed
Farming simulator.
Nasus
Bully him before 6. Careful about his all-in post 6. This champ is stupidly strong post 6 and his W counters your passive.
Kled
Fun matchup. Don't let him get his horse back easily with your passive. Your Q hurts him really bad with its enemy health scaling.
Sion
You do a lot of damage to him until he gets his tabi. You can build BC first if he gets too much armor.
Jayce
It depends on the Jayce player. He is vulnerable to your all in post 6. Run him down with your R.
Mordekaiser
The only thing he can do is stat check you. Your ult cancel his ult.
Dr. Mundo
Bro this mundo champ is unplayable into Ambessa. Take ignite and try to kill him early game. His scaling is really good tho.
Rumble
Don't let him poke you down. Trade every chance you get. Be cautious about his rage bar. Avoid his heat autos.
Gwen
You out damage her early game. Use your passive to dodge her center Q. Abuse her in lane. Careful about her scaling.
Shen
1 dash vs 5 dashes. Its over, don't you get it.
Yone
Don't take extended trades and you're gonna beat the living out of him. Get tabis first.
Garen
Cant do anything to each other. You performs well in teamfight. He have all in potetial post 6, hold at least one of you're ability.
Aurora
Try to farm up and only trades with W. Get Hexdrinker first and you win easily.
Riven
Why play Riven when Ambessa is available. She have lower CD than you early. Get tabi and out scale her.
Malphite
Rock solid until BC and lv11. Take grasp and trades him with W and sudden impact. Not much to do in this lane.
Urgot
His lv1 is stupidly strong. Take lv1 W to counter his E.
Yasuo
Get tabis and you wins him every stage of the game. All-in him when theres no allied minions nearby.
Fiora
Fiora is weak in lane vs you and have no wave clear. Utilize your passive to dodge sweet spots and you will out trades her.
Cho'Gath
This champ is not pleasant to face. His W counters you pretty hard but you out scales him. Lane is mostly farming.
Ornn
Don't let him proc his Brittle and you wins every trade. His late game is pretty good tho.
Swain
Swain loses to Ambessa every stage of the game.
Pantheon
Give him prio early. Use passive to make it harder for him to hit Q. You outscale him pretty hard.
Vladimir
Get Hexdrinker first and you wins easily vs him. You also out scale him in a 1v1.
Gangplank
Careful about his barrels in early levels. Doran shield goes fire here. Your auto is faster than his, utilize this to get his barrel.

Hi i'm Sprdlol. I'm a challenger player currently playing in VN server.
Here's my profile: https://www.deeplol.gg/summoner/vn/forsenlol-1216
As you can see i have really high winrate with Ambessa.
This is my first time making a guide and english is not my first language so forgive me. Ambessa is a really fun champion to master. Her kit makes her flashy and overall a good carry champion. Also i like her as a character from Arcane.
Why Cyclosword? Simply a good item for Ambessa, combining with her E that makes enemy unable to run.
You can say Ambessa is a high skill ceiling champ just like Irelia, Riven. If you're good on Ambessa i think you will do well on other champs too. You can take over the game if you're fed enough.
Careful, you will be addicted to play her once you understand her kit and gameplay.
