How to play it

All-in on her W
When Ambessa uses her W, that's your window to all-in her.
W her burst
Use Irelia's W to eat her burst: her Q and E when she's in melee range.
Pick your moment
Outside of her W being down, respect her burst trade: only commit when that window is open.
Never commit the all-in before Ambessa has used her W: that's the one window where she can't burst you back.
