Conqueror is a solid rune choice for Ambess because she is all about sustained bruiser fights.

Big heals in a sustain fight are the key to Ambessa staying alive and dealing damage.

Ambessa lives and dies by her getting off as many abilities as possible.

Last Stand is a great choice for extended fights where you are trying to eek out as much damage as possible.

Because Ambessa is constantly dashing around, Sudden Impact is a great choice to proc on cooldown to amplify her damage.

Ambessa's [R] is fairly string, but this rune choice is simply better than the alternatives.
