Ambessa is one of the scariest early lane bullies you'll face — her mobility and chained Q spins let her engage, burst, and dash back out before you can answer. Levels 1-2 you should concede short trades and focus on not dying: her W dash tools make her all-in far stronger than yours this early. Don't get greedy on CS inside her engage range.
