When an enemy moves into a space you could attack (including within your ranged reach) in the shadow phase, you may discard Ambush to attack it with 1 free success. It is not triggered by an enemy being placed on the map, and you need a suitable weapon. In the app, tap the enemy to assign hits before it attacks.
