Innate - Feint: Within 0.275 seconds after performing an ability, Ambessa will dash in the target direction of her current attack or movement command.

Medarda Maxim: Ambessa's next basic attack on-attack gains an uncancellable windup, 75 bonus range and 50% bonus attack speed. On-hit, it restores 50 / 60 / 70 energy and deals 5 - 40 (based on level) (+ 25% bonus AD) bonus physical damage.

Cost: 70 Energy
CD: 12 / 11 / 10 / 9

Active: Ambessa braces herself with crowd control immunity for 0.5 seconds, then smashes the ground beneath her to deal physical damage to nearby enemies.

Physical Damage: 70 / 100 / 130 / 160 (+ 80% bonus AD)
Increased Physical Damage: 105 / 150 / 195 / 240 (+ 120% bonus AD)

Repudiation has a 0.225 -second lockout. Ambessa will smash the ground after Drakehound's Step if she would finish bracing during it, and otherwise always smashes the ground from wherever she is at the end of the bracing time.

CD: 11 / 10 / 9 / 8

Physical Damage: 40 / 80 / 120 / 160 (+ 0% bonus AD)

She gains incoming damage reduction while performing the suppression.

If Public Execution does not hit a target, then the cooldown is reduced by 35%.

Patch 6.1dChange

In the current patch, Ambessa’s late-game cleanup and passive damage exceed reasonable counterplay, drifting off from her core design of precise positioning to trigger her passive. We're removing her passive refresh mechanic and shifting part of the damage into her first ability’s burst for better fight rhythm, while adding armor penetration and ability vamp to balance the tradeoff, plus her second ability gains new outplay depth.

Public Execution

  • Removed - Passive: Scoring a champion takedown with 3 seconds of damaging them will restore 200 energy and reset all basic ability cooldowns. This will also heal Ambessa based on her missing health from 25/50/75 (+ 45% bonus AD) to 75/150/225 (+ 90% bonus AD).
  • New effect - Passive: Ambessa gains 10/20/30% armor penetration. Her abilities heal her for 10/12.5/15% post-mitigation damage dealt, with the amount reduced to 25% against minions and 40% against monsters.
  • New effect: Ambessa gains 30/40/50% incoming damage reduction while performing the suppression.
