| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Ambessa | Ambessa's dash combo out-trades your unmobile level-1 while Wind Wall can't block melee. |
| Level 2 | Ambessa | Level 2 still favours Ambessa — her mobility lets her weave damage you can't answer. |
| Level 3 | Ambessa | At 3 her full dash combo controls the trade pattern. |
| Levels 4-5 | Ambessa | Levels 4-5 her sustained dash pressure keeps her ahead in every duel. |
| Level 6 | Ambessa | Public Execution at 6 lets Ambessa lock and burst you. |
| First item | Yasuo | With your first crit item your DPS and E resets flip the duel. |
| Two+ items | Yasuo | Late, Skirmisher Yasuo kites her dashes and out-DPS her burst combo. |
Levels 1-2 favour Ambessa — her dash combo weaves in and out while you have no mobility until E, and Wind Wall does nothing against her melee damage. Farm from range with Steel Tempest and don't walk up for CS into her all-in threat.
