They are an excellent choice against teams with heavy magic damage and strong CC.TIPS: Finally, for your items, you should build Eclipse (Gain a shield and deal bonus damage) as your first item, followed by Plated Steelcaps (Reduces damage from champion attacks) or Mercury's Treads (Reduces Magic Damage) depending on the situation. (sometimes it will still be better to build a boot as the first item, which significantly increases the mobility of your champion) the third key element in our build is Black Cleaver (Physical Damage reduces Armor).
Maybe now it's time to think about upgrading your boot, invest in Armored Advance (Grants Armor and a shield). You may want to replace it with Chainlaced Crushers (Gain a magic shield upon taking magic damage), it all depends on your playstyle and the situation on the battlefield.
The remaining last three items are situational, of course you can use the example builds above. But for a more effective game you will need to pay attention to the situation on the battlefield.

CHAMPION GUIDE / JUNGLE PATH
AMBESSA Jungle Path
Explore AMBESSA jungle clear routes, camp orders and pathing tips for Wild Rift.
01 / JUNGLE CLEAR / PATHING
full clear with a Red Buff start
GANK
GANKThe Ambessa Pro path features a full clear that starts on the Red Buff. Unlock (Q) CUNNING SWEEP / SUNDERING SLAM for your first skill, and after killing it you can unlock (E) LACERATE. This makes your Krugs and Raptor camp clear really quick due to the huge AoE damage output both of these skills have. These kills grant you level three, upgrading (Q) CUNNING SWEEP / SUNDERING SLAM after which you will path towards the Blue Buff side of the jungle to clear Murk Wolves, Blue Sentinel and the Gromp.
These get you to level four so go ahead and unlock (W) REPUDIATION. Now kill the Rift Scuttler and any enemy trying to duel you because Ambessa wins most duels. This is a relatively healthy Ambessa jungle clear, and it's highly modular which is why most players love it. You can start with raptors as well, and do Krugs, Red Brambleback and go to the Blue Buff side.
It's also possible to do an early gank with this pathing, simply do Raptors → Red Brambleback → Krugs → Gank Bot/Top lane depending on your side.
