Ambush in the TCG.
Ambush is a level 7 rogue ability. It is a powerful instant attack performed while Stealthed.
Subtlety rogues replace it with 
[Shadowstrike] at level 12.
Tips and tactics
- Very effective in taking out cloth-wearing targets quickly.
- Ambush is arguably preferable over
[Cheap Shot] in PvP as an opener against mages, as a mage's 
[Blink] ability is usable while under a stun effect. - A critical hit with an Ambush followed by an
[Improved Sinister Strike] (or a well-timed [Backstab]) can put an enemy at a severe health disadvantage from the beginning of the fight, in addition to starting you off with 2-3 Combo Points. - A quickly-executed "Ambush -> Vanish -> Ambush" combo attack can inflict severe damage on any single target.
Trivia
- Ambush is one of Valeera's basic abilities in Heroes of the Storm.
