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 Hwei

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Trade after his damage spell

    Trade after he uses a damage spell: Devastating Fire (QQ), Severing Bolt (QW) and Molten Fissure (QE) share a 10 to 6 second cooldown.

  2. Don't stand still or alone

    Don't stand still or alone: Severing Bolt (QW) strikes after a delay and deals more damage to isolated or immobilized enemies.

  3. Jump on him if you can

    If you can engage, jump on him right after one of his CC spells: Hwei has no dash or leap, and Subject: Torment (E) has a 12 to 10 second cooldown.

  4. Move away from the ally hit by his R

    If an ally is hit by Spiraling Despair (R), move away from them: the vision expands around its target, slows and damages nearby enemies, then explodes.
