Ambessa: copy Marauders for repeated protected attacks
Ambessa · from r/LegendsOfRuneterra · 2026-10-14
Draw an affordable Marauder, copy it with the champion spell and use repeated attacks to grow matching allies and remove backrow enemies.
Build
Overview
Ambessa grows allies with matching names whenever they attack. This six-star version uses champion-spell copies and a predictable follower draw to establish multiple scaling attackers. The main alternative to this Marauder plan is more control through the starting
Stun follower. The best opening depends on investment and enemy aggression.
The build
Echoing Spirit
Adds champion copies for better access to
Ambessa and cheaper champion spells.
Found Fortune
Fetches an eligible follower with an epic item and a discount. The intended target is
Legion Marauder; drafting another competing follower can change the draw.
Hidden Tome
Refills spell mana when you play or level up a champion. This funds
Conscription after
Ambessa arrives.
How to play
Play
Ambessa when you can afford the follow-up. The follower relic supplies the intended
Legion Marauder, then
Conscription creates additional copies with temporary protection. Attack with matching bodies so the three-star growth accumulates across copies.
At six stars, attacking with ten or more total Power kills the strongest backrow enemy. The check is total attacking Power, not ten on one unit. Select blockers so the target you want removed remains in the backrow. Keep an answer for early pressure before this board is established.
Drafting and alternatives
Avoid adding competing follower draws when you want the Marauder reliably. Some lower-star players prefer copying the starting
Stun follower to prevent huge attackers from acting; others value the Marauder's scaling. A free attack without freshly granted
Barrier can expose a fragile copy to a large blocker.
An attack-focused alternative uses
Death's Foil and
Spectral Scissors.
Azir is a good support pick for more attackers. Support packages and stat upgrades depend on your draft, so the opening won't be the same every run.
Star-power checkpoint
Out of my way! kills the strongest backrow enemy when your attack has ten or more total Power. This build assumes six stars; the matching-name growth from
Military Training II works earlier.
