Abilities
Passive, Drakehound's Step
Entering an attack or movement command while casting an ability will cause Ambessa to dash a short distance once the ability is cast, granting her next attack bonus range, damage, and attack speed, and refunding energy.
Q, Cunning Sweep / Sundering Slam
Ambessa sweeps her twin drakehounds in a semicircle in front of her, dealing bonus damage to enemies hit by the blades. Striking an enemy will transform the next cast of this ability for a short period of time, causing her to slam her twin drakehounds down in a line in front of her, dealing bonus damage to the first enemy hit.
Cooldown: 14 / 13 / 12 / 11 / 10 seconds. Cost: 70 / 70 / 70 / 70 / 70 Energy.
W, Repudiation
Ambessa gains a shield, briefly braces herself, and then slams the ground to damage nearby enemies. If she blocked any non-minion damage while bracing herself, this ability will deal increased damage.
Cooldown: 18 / 17 / 16 / 15 / 14 seconds. Cost: 70 / 70 / 70 / 70 / 70 Energy.
E, Lacerate
Ambessa whips her twin drakehounds around herself, damaging and slowing nearby enemies. Initiating Drakehound's Step from this ability causes her to strike a second time at the end of its dash.
Cooldown: 13 / 12 / 11 / 10 / 9 seconds. Cost: 70 / 70 / 70 / 70 / 70 Energy.
R, Public Execution
Ambessa blinks to the farthest enemy champion in a line of her choosing and suppresses them upon her arrival. She then slams the enemy into the ground where they take damage and are stunned.
Cooldown: 130 / 115 / 100 seconds. Cost: 0 / 0 / 0 Energy.
