Playing as Amumu
Tips to maximize your impact
- 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.
- 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.
- Burn tanks with Despair
Keep Despair (W) on against tanks: every second, it deals a percentage of their max health to nearby enemies.
- 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 Trundle
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Draw him out of his domain
Don't fight in Frozen Domain (W): he gains move speed, attack speed and increased healing inside. Back off to draw him out of the zone.
- Back off after his Chomp
If you deal physical damage, back off after his Chomp (Q): it steals some of your attack damage for a few seconds, and he gains it.
- Get away from his pillar fast
Get away from Pillar of Ice (E) as fast as you can: it slows nearby enemies and blocks the path while it stands.
- Back off when he steals your resists
Back off when he casts Subjugate (R) on you: he steals part of your armor and magic resist, and gains what you lose.
