Fiddlesticks vs Ambessa Matchup Summary

The Fiddlesticks vs Ambessa matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 29 recent matches analyzed, Ambessa wins with a 65.5% win rate compared to Fiddlesticks's 34.5%, giving Ambessa a 31.0 percentage point advantage. Ambessa dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights.

Fiddlesticks players should play defensively, prioritize safe farming under tower, and look for opportunities created by jungle pressure or Ambessa overextending. Avoid prolonged trades and wait for team fights where positioning and coordination matter more. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.
