How to Play Ambessa in ARAM Mayhem

You play Ambessa as a diver. Wait for your front line to engage, then aim Public Execution (R) so a carry is the farthest enemy champion in the line, blinking to them and locking them down. While casting each ability, enter a movement command to trigger Drakehound's Step (passive) for a dash and an energy refund, and time Repudiation (W) to brace against champion damage.
