Ambush is a movement spell that causes the player to teleport to an enemy, blinding them and causing your next one-handed melee attack to be exerted, gaining a large boost to critical strike chance and multiplier.
Ambush can be used regardless of the weapon equipped, as long as there is a nearby enemy.
Only melee attacks with one-handed weapons are able to be exerted, providing a large amount of critical strike chance and critical strike multiplier for the exerted attack.

Note that helmet enchantments are no longer obtainable since version 3.23.0 and can only be obtained in permanent leagues as already enchanted items from before this patch.
