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 Fiddlesticks

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Stay out of his fear range

    Stay out of range of Terrify (Q), a targeted spell that reaches 575: if your range is longer, hit him from there without risking the fear.

  2. Cut his harvest short

    If you have CC, interrupt Bountiful Harvest (W): he heals during the channel, and if he finishes it, the remaining cooldown drops by 60%.

  3. Spread out from your allies

    Spread out from your allies when he arrives: Crowstorm (R) hits every enemy around him, and Bountiful Harvest (W) drains them all.

  4. Ward around objectives

    Ward the brushes and flanks around objectives: spotted in time, he loses the surprise of Crowstorm (R) and the passive fear of Terrify (Q).
