DRAKEHOUND'S STEPPassive

Feint: Pushing the left joystick right after casting an ability causes Ambessa to dash a short distance in that direction. Drakehound's Step: Ambessa's next attack within 4 seconds of triggering Feint gains 50% Attack Speed and increased range, deals 5 + 2.5 (based on level) (+25% bonus AD) bonus physical damage, and restores 50 Energy (based on level) (increases at levels 1/6/11). Stacks up to 3 times.

Q

CUNNING SWEEPSkill 1

Cunning Sweep: Swings her Twin Drakehounds around herself, dealing 30 (+30% bonus AD) physical damage + 2% (+0.02% bonus AD) of the target's max Health. Damage is increased to 60 (+60% bonus AD) physical damage + 4% (+0.04% bonus AD) of the target's max Health for enemies at the edge of the strike. If Cunning Sweep hits an enemy, after a brief delay, it transforms into Sundering Slam for 3.5 seconds. Sundering Slam: Ruthlessly cleaves enemies in a line, dealing 70 (+90% bonus AD) physical damage + 4% (+0.04% bonus AD) of the target's max Health against the first enemy hit. All other targets take 35 (+45% bonus AD) physical damage + 2% (+0.02% bonus AD) of their max Health. The percent of max Health damage against monsters is capped at 55 (based on level).

She then unleashes a shockwave, dealing 70 (+80% bonus AD) physical damage to nearby enemies. If she braced herself from an immobilizing effect, the shockwave deals 105 (+120% bonus AD) physical damage.

PUBLIC EXECUTIONUltimate

Passive: Gains 10% Armor Pen. Her active abilities heal her for 12.5% of the damage she deals. Damaging minions heals her for 25% of the original heal, and damaging monsters heals her for 40% of the original heal. The empowered attacks of Drakehound's Step grant the same healing bonus. Active: Seizes the farthest enemy champion in a line in front of her and blinks to them, suppressing the target for 1 second. During this time, she gains 10% damage reduction and is Unstoppable. Ambessa then slams the target into the ground, dealing physical damage equal to 200 plus 10% of their missing Health (10% +0.05% bonus AD +0.05% AP) and stunning them for 0.4 seconds. If Public Execution does not hit an enemy champion, 35% of its cooldown will be refunded.

The combos in the tables below, grouped by shape; not a ranking or a verdict. Each item goes to the family its stats are worth the most gold in, and a shape is how many of the 3 core items fall in each family. Effects (passives) are not counted, and items without stats are left out. Runes are grouped by keystone and the most common tree among the rest. The icons show the most common combo of each shape. A shape at 10% or more counts as a pattern; shapes under 3% get no card. Less common item families are families whose items appear in under 10% of the Chinese combos but do show up in overseas guides or streamer and pro builds. Their icons are separate item options seen in those sources, not one build. Families are listed by how many sources they appear in.

Assumptions

Combat only: 50%

Effects that only work in combat or under a condition are counted as active half the time. The same rule applies to every rune and spell.

At most once per 8s

Effects that re-trigger on attacks are counted at most once every 8 seconds, since a single fight only allows so many procs.

Skill ranks from level

A champion's ability values depend on rank, so rank is derived from level. The ultimate ranks up at levels 5 / 9 / 13. Remaining points go to abilities 1 → 2 → 3 in turn (1 / 0 / 0 at level 1, 4 / 4 / 4 at level 15). Which ability to max first is a judgement call, so every champion uses the same order. Abilities with a different number of ranks (such as Jayce's 5) follow the same rule, raising the lowest-ranked ability one point at a time; an ability learned from level 1 starts at rank 1.

Survival factor

Moving faster by some % is counted as that % more effective health, since speed lets you dodge and escape. Value = median max health × the speed gain × the health price.

Move speed % as flat

Move speed % is converted to flat move speed against the median base speed of 350, then priced at the flat rate.

Champion median

Values that depend on the champion, such as health, use the median of all champions at level 1 and level 15.

One fight per 90s

A 15-minute match is assumed to have 10 fights. Shields and damage blocks that work once per fight are counted as extra health in every fight.

Fight length: 10 s

Crowd control that stops the enemy (stun, charm, etc.) is treated as time you aren't being hit. A fight is assumed to last 10 s, so it counts as holding seconds ÷ 10 × median max health in extra health each fight. Uses are capped like shields: the fewer of cooldown uses and fights.
