Amumu Build Guide for Wild Rift

How to play Amumu

Amumu is a tank who can play in the Jungle or in the Duo Lane as a Support. Amumu has one of the fastest jungle clears out of all champions in the game. With this in mind, he can reach level 5 extremely quickly and look for ganks with his Ultimate Curse of the Sad Mummy. Speaking of his Ultimate, Amumu excels thanks to his incredible Crowd Control and high damage over time from his abilities. Two charges on Bandage Toss and an Area of Effect stun as an ultimate make for a great combo when it comes to late-game teamfights.

Amumu's Abilities

Cursed Touch

(Passive)

Amumu's auto attacks and his ultimate Curse of the Sad Mummy mark enemies with a curse for a few seconds, refreshing on subsequent applications. Cursed targets take additional true damage from all incoming magic damage. This includes magic damage coming from your team.

Cursed Touch works as a damage buff for Amumu and his teammates. You don't really have to pay too much attention to this passive.

Bandage Toss

(1)

Amumu launches a bandage that deals magic damage and stuns the first target hit for a second, pulling himself to the target. This ability has 2 charges that are stored over time.

In the jungle, Bandage Toss can be used to make clearing the jungle faster since Amumu can throw himself over walls allowing him to get to jungle camps quicker. Bandage Toss is also an effective way to gank enemies.

Despair

(2)

Despair is a toggle that activates an AOE of Amumu's tears around him, which do percent health magic damage every second to nearby enemies.

Despair is excellent at helping Amumu clear jungle camps and objectives quickly. It also synergises well with Searing Crown, as Amumu needs to be close to enemies to deal damage with both the ability and items. Remember that Despair can be turned off when not being used to save mana, which is important during the early game.

Tantrum

(3)

Passive: Amumu reduces Physical Damage Taken

Active: Amumu does magic damage in a circle around him to nearby enemies and slows them. The cooldown is reduced whenever Amumu is hit by an attack from anyone, including monsters in the jungle.

Tantrum is one of Amumu's main damaging abilities for both enemies and monsters in the jungle. It's important to keep an eye on the cooldown of this ability, as it is usually up way more than you'd expect it to be.

Curse of the Sad Mummy

(Ultimate)

Amumu deals magic damage and stuns all nearby enemies.

Curse of the Sad Mummy is used to win 1vs1s against squishy targets, to whom Amumu can deal a lot of damage. In teamfights, Amumu can use Bandage Toss to throw himself at the enemy team and use Curse of the Sad Mummy on multiple targets.

Amumu Build Breakdown

Searing Crown

Zeke's Convergence

Thornmail

Frozen Heart

Force of Nature

Plated Steelcaps - Gargoyle

Searing Crown synergizes incredibly well with Amumu's abilities. Every time Amumu deals damage to an enemy with an ability, they will burn to take additional damage. Since Amumu wants to stick close to enemies to damage them, this makes for a great combo with Despair and Tantrum.

Zeke's Convergence has incredible synergy with Curse of the Sad Mummy. The slow after the ultimate makes it extremely difficult for enemies to escape, helping Amumu deal more damage by sticking to them in team fights.

Thornmail increases Amumu's tankiness in teamfights whilst also dealing damage to champions that auto attack you and also reduces enemy's healing.

For runes we have:

Aftershock

Aftershock gives Amumu some tankiness and extra damage when immobilizing an enemy. Bandage Toss has two charges; even if you miss them, Curse of the Sad Mummy can also guarantee the Crowd Control needed.

Nullifying Orb

Nullifying Orb is the most reliable rune that gives you a shield when you drop low on health.

Bone Plating

Bone Plating helps Amumu take reduced damage when engaging in teamfights and looking for ganks.

Overgrowth

Overgrowth allows Amumu to gain permanent health throughout the game when killing jungle camps. This will help his survivability in teamfights.

Sudden Impact

Sudden Impact synergizes well with Bandage Toss, allowing you to deal true damage with your other abilities after hitting Bandage Toss.

Flash

Smite

Flash is needed on Amumu because it allows him to engage and disengage. There are some great combos when using Bandage Toss and Curse of the Sad Mummy with Flash that can be used to surprise enemies.

As a jungler, you always want to take Smite. Smite will help you clear through the jungle quicker and secure major objectives.

Jungle Path

Amumu's early game focus is getting Level 5 as soon as possible so you can access Curse of the Sad Mummy. This will increase the pressure you can offer and kill potential when ganking. You should also be aware of early invades and duels near scuttle crabs. Amumu's 1v1 is not the best in the early stages. However, when joined by his team for 2v2 or 3v3, he can set them up for success.

At the start of the game, Amumu always wants to start at Blue Sentinel. The extra mana regeneration will help him with his early mana problems, allowing him to keep Despair up at all times and help him use his other abilities more often.

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 for Jungle in Wild Rift. It goes in-depth about Jungle clearing, epic monsters, ganking and more!

Late Game

In the Late Game, Amumu becomes a powerful engage tool for his team. With Bandage Toss and Flash, Amumu can reach the backline and use Curse of the Sad Mummy on high-value targets. His two core items, Searing Crown and Zeke's Convergence, also surprisingly give him a lot of damage when standing close to enemies, and with the tank stats he gets, he'll be able to do this for long periods. As a jungler, it's important to always keep track of when Dragon, Herald, and Baron spawn. Taking these epic monsters will give you and your team an advantage throughout the game.

Conclusion

Overall, Amumu is an excellent starter champion if you want to learn how to play jungle. His abilities are easy to understand, and you can focus more on how to gank and get an advantage for your team.
