These grant experience, restore mana, and provide out of combat Move Speed.

Playing as Amumu

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Save your second bandage

    Save a charge of Bandage Toss (Q) after your engage: the spell has two, and the second catches an enemy who escapes with a dash or Flash.

  2. Wait until your R can hit several

    Wait until several enemies are in range to cast Curse of the Sad Mummy (R): it stuns every enemy around you and curses them.

  3. Burn tanks with Despair

    Keep Despair (W) on against tanks: every second, it deals a percentage of their max health to nearby enemies.

  4. Full clear, then gank

    Full clear with Despair (W) and Tantrum (E), then gank: both hit every nearby monster, and Tantrum's cooldown drops when you get hit.

Playing against Bard

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. No wall or ally behind you

    Facing him, don't stand with your back to a wall or lined up with an ally or minion: Cosmic Binding (Q) stuns you if it then hits a wall or a second enemy.

  2. Wait for the stasis to end

    Don't waste your spells on a target frozen by Tempered Fate (R): wait for the stasis to end, then strike.

  3. Ward the walls when he disappears

    Ward the walls near you when he disappears: Magical Journey (E) opens a one-way path for him through terrain.

  4. Play hard when he leaves

    When he leaves lane to collect his Traveler's Call (passive) Chimes, play hard on the ally he left alone.
