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 Yuumi
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Stay behind your minions
Keep minions between you and her: Prowling Projectile (Q) stops on the first enemy hit, and once accelerated, it slows hard.
- CC her as soon as she detaches
If you have CC, save it for the moment she detaches: once immobilized, she can't recast You and Me! (W) for a while.
- Focus the champion carrying her
Focus the champion carrying Yuumi: attached with You and Me! (W), she can only be targeted by towers, and without them she's left exposed.
- Cut her healing
If you have Grievous Wounds, apply it to the champion carrying her: they receive her healing, including from Final Chapter (R).
