None Low Ok Strong Ideal

Ideal Synergies

Aatrox

Major

Skill matchup. Dodge his sweet spots with your own passive. Try to get ahead. He scales better than you.

Aurora

Even

You both don't have a lot of damage early on, but try not to get poked down to death. Avoid her skills, get close and burn her down. Save E for her W.

Camille

Even

Lane phase is ok, try to play around her E and make her misuse her Q. She scales better than you.

Cho'Gath

Even

Can be scary if you get caught on his Q + E. Play carefully and take advantage of missplay.

Darius

Extreme

Ambessa can't trade back against him. You will not die if playing safe, but can't kill him either. Try to play safe on tower and never get close to his.

Dr. Mundo

Even

Just a massive wall of health. Can't really kill him, he can't kill you either, unless you get caught on his Q.

Fiora

Major

She can dash after you and slow you. A good Fiora will cancel your R with her W. Do your best to keep moving and don't allow her to hit the spots. Late game she can easily kill you.

Gangplank

Extreme

Ambessa can't really avoid the barrels. GP can cleanse your ultimate and will outscale your pretty hard.

Garen

Even

Even lane, keep pressure and poke him down. Don't let him restore health with passive.

Gnar

Minor

Gnar is actually pretty easy to deal with. Avoid his Q and chase him down, specially after he uses his E. Mega Gnar is not a threat too, dash around avoiding everything. Don't get caught on his CC chain.

Gragas

Even

A skilled Gragas can be hard to deal in lane. Try to avoid his Q and counter his engage damage with your W. Run him down and fall back. Rinse and repeat until he's at kill threshold.

Gwen

Even

Try to get advantage before 6. After 6, bait her R and fight after. She scales better and can ignore your R if you're too far from her.

Illaoi

Major

Ambessa feels like it should be easy to deal with her, but it is actually a tough match. You can't really commit to a duel after 6, specially after Illaoi gets Iceborn Gauntlet.

Irelia

Major

Don't do extended trades against Irelia. Get caught by her stun and you're almost certainly dead. Do your best to do short and safe trades.

Jax

Even

Skill matchup, a good Jax will save Q to EQ after you dash away. Poke him down on lane and all-in once he is low. He will scale better than you, be careful on side lanes.

Jayce

Minor

Don't get poked down and you have big chances of killing him. W his QEAAA burst and chase him down.

K'Sante

Even

K'Sante is a strange matchup. Space him and low his health. Don't get caught on his CC chain. R K'Sante is a worse version of yourself, kite him back until it is over or all-in if you're strong enough.

Kennen

Major

Kennen will not get close to you and will poke you down until he can burst you. Pay attention to any errors and stick to him, you have enough damage to kill him.

Kled

Major

His double E can make it hard to decide where to dash and his Q can hook you back. Avoid Q, poke him down, burst him fast when he's on mini.

Malphite

Major

The big rock dude will be anoying on lane with his Q. You can't really him, but Malphite can run you down if you disrespect him.

Mordekaiser

Major

Lane is easy until he finishes Rylai, try to get ahead before it and make it hard for him to hit Q/E with your dashes.

Nasus

Minor

Abuse the early game. You must not fall behind. He will outscale you, win before that happens.

Olaf

Major

Who need dashes when you got a big axe? Olaf will run you down, don't get close to his tower and avoid his axes the best you can. Poke him down and kill him, only short trades.

Ornn

Even

Ok. Ornn is not a big deal on lane, but you can't kill him either. He's a best toplaner than you overall and scales better.

Pantheon

Major

Skill matchup. Early game Pantheon is strong and early game Ambess is weak. Don't die and you will be able to trade back after 6. Die to him and he will kill you with a WEQ combo.

Poppy

Extreme

Poppy can lock you down and kill you. A great ban.

Quinn

Even

A good Quinn won't let you close with her E and spacing, try to punish her mistakes with your E and R.

Renekton

Extreme

Renekton is dangerous. His W will break your precious W shield, and he can follow you around with E. To be honest this champion can and will kill you. A great ban option.

Riven

Major

Riven deals almost everything Ambessa does and DEALS DAMAGE. Don't disrespect her damage, play safe avoiding her Q and trading back and only all-in when you're healthy enough not to get killed instead.

Rumble

Minor

Avoid his E. Counter his W with your E. W his Q and run him down. Fall behind and you're doomed.

Sett

Major

You can poke Sett down and kill him, but get caught once and he's going to break your legs with Stridebreaker + E + R. Always avoid his W sweet spot with your dashes.

Shen

Minor

Easy and fun to play lane. Play around when he's using Q, bait him away from his W and avoid his E. You can cancel his ult with R and make him mad.

Singed

Even

You can't chase him and he can't get you unless you let him. Call jungler and farm.

Sion

Minor

Avoid Q and E with your dashes. Poke him down and kill.

Skarner

Even

Not a hard laning phase but Skarner will deal a lot of damage if he catches you. Getting caught by his CC on a teamfight is a death sentence.

Tahm Kench

Even

Shouldn't be hard to lane against him but you can't really kill him. Poke down and farm, try to keep the wave close to your tower. Don't all-in unless you're really sure you can kill TK, otherwise he will run you down.

Teemo

Minor

Play safe and abuse his errors. You can kill him with your jungler help or after 6.

Trundle

Extreme

Feels like Olaf/Darius, overextended and he will WE + Ghost and run you down.

Tryndamere

Extreme

Same as Darius/Olaf/Trundle, play safe. Don't go close towards his tower or he will pop Ghost and run you down.

Urgot

Even

Skill matchup, play safe and poke him down. Fail and he will burst you. Be specially careful when using E to deal damage.

Volibear

Even

Not a hard lane and you can abuse him a lot. Kite his Q and avoid his E. Always be careful, if he manages to catch you without dashes, you're probably dead. Respect his scaling.

Wukong

Major

Wukong can be really anoying, his Q range is slighty bigger than your empowered Q range, use your skills and dashes wisely or he will run you down.

Yorick

Even

Conqueror. TP. Skill matchup. Avoid his E. Poke him with Q. After 6 be careful with Maiden. Don't fall behind. ATM you can dash through his wall, but I'm not sure if it is intended.

Zac

Major

Zac can be anoying and combo you a lot, try to dash around taking his blobs and punishing him. Do your best to avoid Q and E and you have a chance to kill him.
