Beginner Rule

If Amumu misses Bandage Toss (Q) — his long-range grab ability — he's much easier to fight.

Threat Overview

Amumu is a tank jungler who excels at starting teamfights with crowd control. He wants to land Bandage Toss (Q) — his long-range grab ability — before locking down multiple enemies with Curse of the Sad Mummy (R). Many beginners die by grouping too closely together around objectives.

Power Spikes

Level 6 – Gains one of the strongest teamfight ultimates in the game.

First Tank Item – Becomes much harder to kill.

Mid Game Teamfights – Excels in grouped fights.

Abilities — What to Dodge

Bandage TossQ
Q
Bandage Toss
▶ hover for preview

What it does

Tosses a bandage that stuns the first enemy hit and pulls him to them.

How to play against

This is his entire engage — dodge it and he has no gap-close. It's slow and telegraphed. Stand behind minions; they block it.

DespairW
W
Despair
▶ hover for preview

What it does

Passively drains a percentage of nearby enemies' max health per second while active.

How to play against

Don't stand near him for extended periods. His W deals percent-health damage — tanks and squishies both take significant damage over time.

TantrumE
E

What it does

Unleashes rage dealing AoE damage. Cooldown reduces each time he's hit.

How to play against

His E is short range. Don't hit him with rapid attacks — it reduces his E cooldown and he spams it faster.

Curse of the Sad MummyR
R
Curse of the Sad Mummy
▶ hover for preview

What it does

Entangles all surrounding enemies in bandages, applying his Curse, dealing damage and stunning them all.

How to play against

If he lands his Q on you, expect an immediate R. Flash or dash out before it comes. His R has a wide radius — don't group near him.

Common Combos

Cursed Touch: his basic attacks curse enemies, making them take bonus true damage from incoming magic damage. He shreds MR effectively in extended fights — don't let him auto you freely.
