Ambessa Wild Rift Build — Patch 7.2e

Public Execution (R) drops you alone behind their team, and your own card says a bad engage there just gets you killed: Stand United (R) shields you and teleports him in from half a map away, while Shadow Dash (E) taunts whoever was jumping you.

The Hextech Ultimatum (R) seals a carry inside a zone their team can't step into to save them. While she holds that one, you spend Public Execution (R) on another: two prisons in one fight, and neither target gets peeled.

Your dashes are short and telegraphed, so anything that slows you keeps you out of range: Searing Charge (E) crashed into the Volcanic Rupture (Q) wall is a guaranteed knock-up every skirmish, and on a still target you catch Cunning Sweep (Q)'s outer edge.

On your own you have no peel and no way to hold a group still: Unstoppable Force (R) hands it over floored and stacked, and Lacerate (E) with the Drakehound's Step (P) reset hits the whole pile twice while he soaks instead of you.

All Out (R) hurls a carry away from their team and roots it: that's a second isolated target while Public Execution (R) is down, and exactly the kind of prey your full rotation actually finishes off.

He's for the games where stacked armor shuts you down, your stated counter: Judgment (E) shreds it the longer it spins, so your physical damage bites again. Against a normal composition he's just another body up front.

You fly behind their line with Public Execution (R) and then you're stuck there alone: Hero's Entrance (R) lands on you from anywhere on the map, knocks up everyone closing in and leaves a shield. It's the lifeline your kit doesn't have.

Public Execution (R) grabs the farthest champion in a straight line, so the real problem is knowing where they are: Destiny (R) shows you all of them and brings him to your flank, and a Gold Card from Pick a Card (W) stuns while you close.

After the grab you get one window for Cunning Sweep (Q), the Sundering Slam (Q) recast and Lacerate (E): Ring of Frost (W) into Frozen Tomb (R) pins that same target for nearly three seconds, more than you need.

Charm (E) takes the target's movement away for 1.4 seconds: that's exactly the window where Cunning Sweep (Q)'s outer edge stops being a gamble, and a moving enemy is what you whiff it on almost every time.

Only worth it if you agree to fight with the team instead of flanking: with the ball on you, Command: Protect (E) shields you and adds resistances exactly as you go in, and Command: Shockwave (R) collects whoever was collapsing on you. Flank far and the ball is wasted.

Enchanted Crystal Arrow (R) pins the isolated champion at the back for up to 3.5 seconds, which is exactly what Public Execution (R) hunts. And Frost Shot (P) slows on every hit, so nobody keeps you outside your short dashes.

Deadly Flourish (W) turns into a root on anyone who has just taken damage from an ally: one Lacerate (E) tick hands it to him for free. Curtain Call (R) then closes out the target you're holding, from a range nobody else reaches.

Allied crowd control applies Second Skin (P) Plasma for her on its own: the stun from Public Execution (R) opens Killer Instinct (R), which brings her onto that same isolated target with a shield. She's at a 48.2% win rate in China: you take her for the link, not the stats.

Your problem is closing the gap: Arc of Judgment (W) leaves a near-total slow that keeps the target inside your dash range, and Transcend One's Self (R) gives her fifteen seconds to finish whoever walks out of your rotation alive.

Stand Aside (E) knocks back and slows without spending an ultimate, keeping the target inside your short dash range, and your early jungle kills fund League of Draven (P). If the game starts badly, though, you're two champions who only live off a lead.

If Public Execution (R) whiffs you're stranded in the middle of them with no escape: the Dark Passage (W) lantern is the exit your kit doesn't have. When it lands, The Box (R) stops their team from walking in to take the target back.

Zenith Blade (E) into Shield of Daybreak (Q) holds the target still for your entire rotation, and Sunlight (P) detonates on your first follow-up hit. Above all she goes in first, which is the part of the fight that gets you killed.

Grand Entrance (W) into The Quickness (R) chains nearly two seconds of control to drop onto, and Battle Dance (E) recasts within five seconds: that's two shields on you in the moments when Repudiation (W) is already spent.

Focused Resolve (W) roots up to two champions from range so your short dashes don't come up empty, and an empowered Inspire (E) gives you a shield and the speed to get in and back out: that's the retreat you don't have.

Concussive Blows (P) reaches four marks off his attacks and yours, and Drakehound's Step (P) gives you an empowered auto after every single ability: the stun lands far sooner than usual. Unbreakable (E) meanwhile eats the burst that deletes you.

He's for when you're the champion the team invests in: Time In A Bottle (P) hands you free experience and pushes your jungle level ahead, and Chronoshift (R) stands you back up after a bad flank. He has to be near you, though, and he usually isn't.
