How to win lane as Ambessa against Master Yi · 52.19% win rate over 228 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Ambessa | Ambessa owns level 1 — dashes plus burst out-trade a Yi who has nothing but basic attacks yet. |
| Level 2 | Ambessa | Level 2 stays yours: the Q-W chain keeps you ahead in every exchange he dares to take. |
| Level 3 | Ambessa | Level 3 is yours outright — the full E stun combo lands and he has no tool to punish or escape it. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | By 4 his Wuju Style points even the lane — trades turn honest, so bank your lead and stop coin-flipping. |
| Level 6 | Master Yi | Master Yi takes level 6: Highlander and his catching-up true damage start to bite through your stats. Time W on his burst and keep exits ready. |
| First item | Master Yi | First item is his — Wuju true damage out-DPSes you in any stuck fight. Hit-and-run or don't fight at all. |
| Two+ items | Master Yi | Late stays Master Yi's: Highlander resets and true damage shred straight through your mobility. Burst him early in fights or stay out of his path. |
Everything you get from this game is earned before level 6. Your dashes and burst out-trade his kit-less basics at 1-2, and the level 3 E stun combo gives you kill windows he can't answer. Bully every wave, take plates, and force him under tower — by 4 his Wuju points even it and the clock starts.
