Ambessa Abilities

We will take a look at League of Legends' next champion Ambessa as well as her abilities:

Drakehound's Step (Passive)
- When Ambessa casts an ability, issuing a move or Attack order will cause her to dash after the Ability finishes.
- Casting an ability also gives Ambessa a charge, which increases her attack range and speed. Attacks consume a charge to deal additional damage and restore Energy.

Cunning Sweep (Q1)
- Ambessa sweeps her blades forward in a semi-circle, dealing extra damage to enemies at the edge. If you hit an enemy, it readies Sundering Slam.

Sundering Slam (Q2)
- Sundering Slam (Recast): Ambessa slams down her blades, dealing bonus damage to the first enemy hit.

Repudiation (W)
- Ambessa gains a shield, braces herself, then slams the ground. If she braces herself from damage by an enemy champion, large monster, or structure, she does more damage with her slam.

Lacerate (E)
- Ambessa whips her chains in a circle, damaging and briefly slowing enemies. Using Drakehound’s Step (Passive) will trigger an additional strike.

Public Execution (R)
- Passive: Ambessa gains Armor Penetration and her Abilities heal her.
- Active: Ambessa becomes unstoppable and blinks to the farthest enemy champion in a line. She suppresses the target before slamming them for damage and a Stun.
And that covers all of Ambessa's abilities. She is suited for the top lane, but might find success in the jungle and mid lane. Riot Games has finally released a new energy-based champion, and although she has a lot of mobility, she seems to have a very aggressive all-in playstyle.
