Amumu Build Guide for Wild Rift

How to play Amumu

Amumu is an AP tank jungler. He is not the best champion before level 5, but as soon as you get access to Curse of the Sad Mummy he becomes a team fight god! In the early game, With Amumu, you want to play passive and farm in the early game to get to level 5 as soon as possible. When you reach level 5 you can look to gank any lane with his Bandage Toss and follow that up with his ultimate, Curse of the Sad Mummy. This allows your teammate/s to follow up and get an easy kill. One important thing to note with Amumu is that Despair is a toggle ability. This means you need to make sure you turn it off if there is no one nearby or you will waste a lot of mana!

Amumu's Abilities

Cursed Touch (Passive)

Attacks curse the target to take additional true damage from incoming magic damage for a few seconds. Subsequent applications of Curse Touch will refresh its duration.

This means that 10% of magic damage that the enemies take won't be reduced by magic resistance so this works great with the more ability power damage you have on your team.

Bandage Toss (1)

Amumu launches a bandage that deals magic damage and stuns the target for a second, pulling himself to the target. Amumu can use this ability to get over walls which makes it very useful when moving around in the jungle, and you can use this on enemies as well as a surprise factor.

Bandage Toss also works great with Flash as you can Flash just after you activate Bandage Toss and your projective will go even further forward so you can use this to catch enemies out.

Despair (2)

This ability is a toggle, meaning you can turn it on or off at any time. When activated, Amumu begins to weep and deal magic damage to nearby enemies every second. Note that you should turn off this ability when there are no enemies nearby, as you can drain through your mana if kept on during the whole game.

Despair works well with Sunfire Aegis as both the ability and item deal damage when close to enemies.

Tantrum (3)

This ability has a passive that when it is first learned, you take reduced physical damage, which makes Amumu a bit tankier. The active deals magic damage to nearby enemies and slows them for just under a second. This is your main damage ability when moving around the jungle.

Also, Tantrum's cooldown is reduced by just under a second when Amumu is hit by an attack. This includes jungle monsters so make sure to always use Tantrum so the cooldown can be reduced when being hit by jungle monsters.

Curse of the Sad Mummy (Ultimate)

This is the game-changer ability for Amumu and what can win games with the click of a button. Amumu deals magic damage to all nearby enemies and stuns them for over a second.

This ability has a large area and has a huge AoE stun when used correctly. If you can get a big engagement off with your Bandage Toss, followed by Curse of the Sad Mummy, you can carry a teamfight and win the game.

Amumu Build Breakdown

Searing Crown

Sunfire Aegis

Amaranth Twinguard

Thornmail

Force of Nature

Mercury's Treads - Protobelt

Amumu is known as a big team fight champion that can change a fight in an instant with his insane damage and crowd control, and this reflects on the build. Sunfire Aegis is a perfect item for Amumu. This item helps Amumu when clearing through the jungle and damages enemy champions when he sticks close to them, trying to deal damage with Despair and Tantrum. Searing Crown also works very similarly to Sunfire Aegis, where it does damage when you deal damage with an auto attack or ability, so it works with every tick of damage from Despair.

For runes we have:

Aftershock

Amumu's Bandage Toss and Curse of the Sad Mummy both can immobilize enemies, which means Amumu can easily gain extra resistance and deal additional damage when near enemy champions.

Weakness

Same as Aftershock, Amumu can immobilize with his 1st and ultimate ability. If you can hit a 5 man ultimate the whole team will take more damage from weakness.

Bone Plating

Since Amumu loves to engage and is generally at the front during team fights he will take a lot of damage. Bone Plating will help Amumu take reduced damage from the first three instances of damage.

Mastermind

Amumu is one of the best champions to quickly take major objectives (Dragons, Herald and Baron Nashor). With Mastermind, this will help you take major objectives faster to give your team bonus stats.

Flash

Smite

For summoner spells, Flash is a must on most champions. Work's well with Amumu because if you see the whole team grouped you can use your Flash with Curse of the Sad Mummy to get a huge team fight ultimates. Smite is a must for when you are playing jungle. Help's you out a lot when clearing the jungle and securing the epic monsters.

Jungle Path

With Amumu he doesn't have the best 1 vs 1 potential vs other junglers. This means that most of the time you want to go for a full clear in the jungle which means you work your way through your jungle and kill every camp. When you finish killing every camp in your jungle you will get close to Level 5 and can easily gank any lane. Amumu benefits a lot from starting at Blue Sentinel! This helps a lot with Amumu and his mana problems early.

This is what the jungle path would look like:

1. Blue Sentinel 
2. Gromp
3. Wolves
4. Raptors
5. Red Brambleback
6. Krugs

Below is a beginner's guide I did for jungle in Wild Rift. It goes in-depth about every jungle camp. Epic monsters and more!:

Late Game

Amumu is a great team fight champion in the late game. Amumu wants to stay with his team at all times as he has great abilities to help the team. As a jungler, your main objective is to keep track of when Dragon's, Rift Herald, and Baron spawn. Taking these epic monsters will give you and your team an advantage in the game. When a team fight happens Amumu is great at being in the front line protecting his team. Amumu is a tank that has a lot of crowd control and as mentioned before a great ability called Curse of the Sad Mummy that can change a team fight.

Conclusion

Overall Amumu is a great starter champion if you want to play jungle! He has some easy abilities that you can learn straight away and you can have a big impact on the game with his abilities and playstyle.
