Abilities Breakdown
Passive – Drakehound’s Step
- When casting an ability, Ambessa will dash in the direction of a move or attack order after the ability resolves. Each cast grants a charge for 4 seconds (up to 3 charges), enhancing her attack range and speed. Attacks with a charge deal bonus physical damage and restore energy.
- Stored commands during ability or attack animations will be executed once resolved. Charged attacks cannot be canceled.
Q – Cunning Sweep / Sundering Slam
- Cunning Sweep deals damage to enemies at the edge and readies Sundering Slam upon hitting an enemy.
- Sundering Slam delivers damage and has additional effects based on level.
W – Repudiation
- Ambessa gains a shield and deals damage to nearby enemies, with increased damage if she braces herself against damage.
E – Lacerate
- Ambessa damages and slows enemies, triggering an additional strike when initiating Drakehound’s Step from this ability.
R – Public Execution
- Passively, Ambessa gains armor penetration and heals from damage dealt. Actively, she becomes Unstoppable, blinking to the farthest enemy champion in a line and dealing damage and stunning them.
