AMUMU – CHAMPION ANALYSIS
Strengths
- Amumu is a great champion that can be utilized by beginners who want to learn how to jungle due to his simple mechanic and high game impact. With Amumu, it is possible for a player to fully utilize his role without having any prior experience on Wild Rift or in jungling.
- Amumu has an amazing ultimate ability which is easy to use for players because of its wide-range. It is also a great crowd control ability to disengage clashes or gain the upperhand in team fights.
- Amumu has a great synergy with other magic damage dealers in the game. He can also be useful for his team by just being there during fights.
Weaknesses
- Compare to other jungler champions, Amumu is slow and weak against early invades unlike Lee Sin, Olaf, and Xin Zhao who are strong early game junglers.
- Amumu has a low turret damage potential which hurts his team because the jungler champion should usually be great a split-pushing.
- Amumu greatly depends on his blue buff. And when the blue buff gets stolen in the early game, his whole game suffers.
AMUMU – GAMEPLAY TIPS
Early Game Tips
- Amumu is often pick as the jungler champion, but he can also work in the top lane or as a support when playing against an AD champion. However, Amumu’s skill set is best efficient when playing him as jungler.
- Amumu has an HP based DPS through his 2nd skill and a spammable AoE ability with his 3rd skill. Use this as a way to clear monsters in the jungle as fast as possible.
- After getting the red buff and being at level 2, look for ways on how to gank the enemy champion in the mid lane. If the enemy champion has no mobility like Annie, go in to deal damage. You don’t necessarily have to kill when ganking, wasting the enemy’s flash is enough.
- Never attempt to do a tower drive before having at least two items.
- Before ganking during the early game, make sure to do a full clear in the jungle. When clearing monsters, aim to clear the monsters below in a following manner: Red Buff >>> Raptors >>> Wolves >>> Blue Buff >>> Scuttler.
- Look for an opportunity to gank in the Blue buff side lane then kill the Gromp then recall. After that go towards the dragon lane and try to gank the enemy dragon lane duo once you reach level 5 and have your ultimate ability.
- Never hesitate to use Amumu’s ultimate to single out champion if it is the enemy’s jungle, mid-lane, or ADC. Killing them will greatly hinder the enemy team’s progression and increase your chances of winning.
Late Game Tips
- During the late game, you will be the one to initiate team fights and lead your team in taking the Elder Dragon and Baron.
- Avoid chasing any opponents when trying to initiate a team fight. This will only lead them to disperse so you won’t be able to use your ultimate on multiple champions. It will also make you and your team vulnerable to any counter attack.
- Make use of bushes to your advantage to catch as many enemy champions as possible.
- Use your long range initiation to catch the enemies of guard to make sure your allies can follow up on you.
- Be unpredictable and do not shy away from using your team as a bait to set up the perfect ultimate. And make sure to use your 2nd skill and 3rd skill while auto-attacking.
