Playstyle

Q (Bandage Toss) in, then R (Curse of the Sad Mummy) for an AoE stun to open fights. Mana and move speed are tight so path carefully; ganks depend on landing Q. Build tanky and one ult can set up your whole team's damage.

Champion Tips

Riot official

Playing as

  • Amumu is highly dependent on teammates, so try laning with your friends for maximum effectiveness.
  • Cooldown Reduction on Amumu is very strong, but it's often difficult to itemize for it. Grab the Golem buff whenever possible to gain Cooldown Reduction without sacrificing stats.
  • Despair is very effective against other tanks, so make sure you're in range of opponents with the highest Health.

Playing against

  • Avoid bunching up with other allies when Amumu has his ultimate available.
  • Erratic movement, or hiding behind creep waves can make it difficult for Amumu to instigate a fight with Bandage Toss.
  • Amumu's Despair makes purchasing primarily Health items a risky proposition.

Lore

Perhaps one of the oddest champions in the League of Legends is the yordle known as Amumu. His life before joining the League remains unknown... especially to Amumu. All he remembers is that he woke up alone inside a pyramid within the Shurima Desert. ...
