Ambessa Top Build

Ambessa Top Guide | Patch 26.16

Ambessa dominates the top lane with relentless pressure and tower-destroying power. Her high sustain and waveclear make her a top-tier juggernaut in ranked play.

How to play Ambessa?

Ambessa thrives in extended fights where her sustain and lifesteal shine. Early game, focus on trading with your Q to whittle down enemies while maintaining health with your passive. In the mid-game, use your E to dive under towers or apply pressure in side lanes. Late game, Ambessa excels in teamfights where her durability and damage output can turn the tide. Position carefully to avoid crowd control and prioritize diving squishy targets with your ultimate.
