Riot Games has finally revealed the abilities that Arcane’s Ambessa will be dropping within League of Legends. She is primarily expected to be a top laner, however, with the right team composition she can be flexed into the mid lane as well as the jungle.
Below is a detailed description of all of the abilities that Ambessa will have once she goes live in the MOBA.
Ambessa’s abilities in League of Legends
| Ability | Effect |
|---|---|
 Passive – Drakehound’s Step | When Ambessa casts an ability, issuing a move or Attack order will cause her to dash after the Ability finishes. Casting an ability also gives Ambessa a charge, which increases her attack range and speed. Attacks consume a charge to deal additional damage and restore Energy. |
 Q -Cunning Sweep Q – Sundering Slam | Ambessa sweeps her blades forward in a semi-circle, dealing extra damage to enemies at the edge. If you hit an enemy, it readies Sundering Slam. Recast: Sundering Slam: Ambessa slams down her blades, dealing bonus damage to the first enemy hit. |
 W – Repudiation | Ambessa gains a shield, braces herself, then slams the ground. If she braces herself from damage by an enemy champion, large monster, or structure, she does more damage with her slam. |
 E – Lacerate | Ambessa whips her chains in a circle, damaging and briefly slowing enemies. Using Drakehound’s Step will trigger an additional strike. |
 R (Ultimate) – Public Execution | Passive: Ambessa gains Armor Penetration and her Abilities heal her. Active: Ambessa becomes unstoppable and blinks to the farthest enemy champion in a line. She suppresses the target before slamming them for damage and a Stun. |
Ambessa’s playstyle in LoL
Ambessa’s playstyle will revolve around her passive Drakehound’s Step which will allow her a lot of mobility options once she uses her abilities. She is an energy champion as well, so much of her kit will revolve around how you can play around her cooldowns.
While she is primarily considered to be a top laner, Ambessa can be flexed into the mid lane and the jungle as well. She has a very versatile playstyle and as a bruiser her abilities will let her go in and out of battle, constantly juking and kiting away from the enemies while having the capabilities to hard engage for her team.
League of Legends Ambessa release date
Ambessa will be released on November 6, 2024, with League of Legends patch 14.22. She will be the last new champion in season 14 and is expected to be followed by her daughter Mel, who leaks suggest is going to be the first champion release of Season 15.
