Introduction
In Teamfight Tactics (TFT) Set 13, the Ambusher trait is designed to amplify the critical strike potential of your champions, making them formidable damage dealers. Ambushers' abilities can critically strike, which significantly boosts their damage output. On top of this, the trait provides scaling bonuses to Critical Strike Chance and Critical Strike Damage, allowing Ambushers to hit even harder as you unlock more trait tiers. Whether you're building around a few high-damage Ambushers or committing fully to the trait, their ability to deal devastating critical hits can help you dominate the battlefield.

Game plan
- Early game
Play around early Scrap Ambushers while focusing on econ. Slam Fighter items and prepare for a big level 6 rolldown if you are lose streaking.
Augment priority: Items > Econ > Combat
- Mid game
Level at 3-2 and roll until you hit Camille 2, 3 Ambusher, and Sentinels. Leftover AD on Smeech. Powder can hold AP items until Ekko.
- Late game
Keep rolling on 6 for Camille 3. Level to 7 and add Ekko. If you have good AD items, chase Smeech 3, otherwise duo Ekko. Always play Jinx.
Position towards enemy weak sides to crush frontline and jump on their backline carries. Powder provides Wounding so anti-heal items lower priority. Illaoi / Loris are flexible spots. Anomaly priority: Camille > Smeech > Ekko.

The Ambusher trait in TFT Set 13 offers a powerful offensive toolkit that rewards players who want to maximize critical strike damage. With increasing Crit Chance and Crit Multiplier as the trait levels up, Ambushers become even more lethal as the game progresses. At the highest tier, Ambushers gain 15% Durability, making them not only damage dealers but also more resilient. This makes Ambusher an excellent choice for players aiming to create a high-damage, high-risk team composition that can potentially outlast and overwhelm opponents with a flurry of critical hits. Mastering Ambusher could provide the necessary burst to secure victories in TFT Set 13.
