I recently had a game where the nexus was literally one or two autos away from exploding and I was playing Ambessa, and since she is an AD champ she kind of tickles the nexus, and I tped in and lost the game because I couldn't take it with 1 auto. I was just curious if I sold all my items and bought all AP items could I have taken it in one auto or what

Unmodified basic attacks' damage against turrets is equal to 100% base AD (+ 100% bonus AD) (+ 60% AP).

#

Same applies for inhibitors and the nexus.

You get around 90-100 ap for ap items. You get 40-50 ad for ad items.

A lot of AP champs that are good tower takers have effects with AP ratios they can apply those autos that count v. towers (e.g., Jax R passive, Diana passive). Also, most of those champs also itemize and/or gain from their kit significant AS.

# ivory shore NO but syndra's aa like delete towers

her AS is significantly slower than most AD champs later in the game (even the ones that don't really itemize any AS). Also, if it's late/endgame she may have Elixir of Sorcery, which also has a bonus damage to towers effect on it.

If you sold your items you will also lose out on gold so its more like going from 4 ad items to 3 ap items.

#

So 180 vs 20, and the ad items sometimes give attack speed.

I wonder, does Ambessa innate apply to towers? If not, maybe it should like Riven's?

The attack speed does

Did you tp?

Then getting a sheen item might have been right

Depends on the champ

What lv

Did you get even 1 ability off? If yes, sheen (or sheen item) would be great, otherwise, more AD in general.

#

You could also have used an ability before the TP to have the sheen ready (it stays long enough)

You can use the ability before tp

#

Its 10 second period to proc sheen
