LoL Guide: Amumu Jungle

LoL champion Amumu combines great skills as a jungler and tank. With this guide you master the sad mummy and inspire your team.

The skills of the mummy

Amumu is an excellent tank that can decide an entire team fight with its Ultimate. The mummy is also convincing in the details. The passive ability "Cursed Touch" reduces Magic Resistance and thus helps immensely in the jungle as well as with almost every gank.

1. "Bandage Toss" (Q): The be-all and end-all for each gank means the difference between a good and a bad Amumu player. A demanding skillshot that pulls Amumu straight to his stunned target when hit. Since the skill is primarily an initiate, invest a point in "Bandage Toss" at level 3 and then concentrate on other skills for the time being.
2. "Despair" (W): eats its way through thick jungle monsters from the start and in the big team battles at the end through the opposing tanks. With an early point, the blue buff is not a problem. At level 5, however, you only bring the skill to "Tantrum". If you want to kill opponents, you only have to run after them with activated aura and the problem will solve itself.
3. "Tantrum" (E): Tantrum is especially useful against fast monsters like the wolves or large mini-waves, because with the all-round blow you not only deal damage properly, but above all the cooldown decreases with every blow you collect.
4. "Curse of the sad Mummy" (R) is Amumus Ultimate, with which the mummy can decide entire team battles. In a radius around Amumu, all enemies are incapacitated and immobilized for a few seconds. The perfect introduction to completely overwhelm your opponents. A well-set "curse" does not always have to catch all five opponents. The Ultimate is already worth it against two or three opponents, because you gain a noticeable advantage if you can switch it off. However, you will be less useful for your team for a while.

The right runes for Amumu

Do not desperately try to be the hero and get all the kills. The support and initiate skills of the Amumu are far too outstanding for this. Distribute your damage especially in the jungle and concentrate on your defensive skills in team battles.

• Marks: Attack Speed ​​Marks distribute Amumu's passive ability "Cursed Touch" very quickly to all Despair and Tantrum targets. This will lower the magic resistance of your opponents. The faster you strike, the faster the young monsters in general will fall. Alternatively, invest in "Magic Penetration", which you need less in the jungle than in team battles.
• Seals: The only real option for jungle seals is armor, as you will inevitably have to take damage.
• Glyps: In the jungle itself, you don't need the typical magic resistance glyphs. But if you want to gank AP-heavy champions early on, the direct bonus is definitely worth it. Alternatively, you can use scaling runes that pay off from level 7 and above all develop their bonus later in the game.
• Quintessences: Amumu sneaks through the jungle and lives with his skillshot initiate not only from playful competence, but also from your mobility. You need them to position yourself correctly. Movement speed quints are therefore an excellent choice. If the running speed is not so important to you, you can also use "Ability Power" to leave bigger wounds with your abilities.

Mummy Masteries

There are many great options for Amumu, but most of them can be found in the Defense Tree. As a tank, on the other hand, you can safely ignore Offense.

• Offense: "Butcher" can help in the jungle, but you still save the two points better for defense and utility.
• Defense: Since you should always be in the middle of the opposing team for your Ultimate, only the defense tree makes you really happy. "Summoner's Resolve" helps a little with gold problems, "Bladed Armor" is the better alternative to the offensive "Butcher" and in the higher ranks there are far more good options than you can skill. "Defender" scales with the number of opponents, which can work very well with Amumu. "Block" helps against teams with strong auto attacks. "Juggernaut", on the other hand, is a good all-purpose solution that you best combine with many health items. In the best case scenario, analyze your team and adapt your masteries to special priorities right before the match.
• The most important thing in the utility tree for you as a jungler is "Rune Affinity", but "hikers" also work wonders.

The right equipment for the jungle

How exactly you equip Amumu varies, of course, depending on the situation. But there are some very good recommendations that almost always work. Coordinate your aura items with your team, it happens that top laners or support also plan this equipment and the duplication is not worthwhile.

• Getting started in the jungle is very easy for Amumu with "Hunter's Machete" and five healing potions. You can hardly do without the additional damage and healing. From the first purchase, you should always have one or two wards in your luggage to keep an eye on the opposing jungler.
• "Madred's Razor" and "Spirit Stone" both have their advantages, so you should make an early decision and upgrade the machete. With "Spirit of the Ancient Golem" as your goal (and "Spirit Stone" as an intermediate step) you will never go wrong. Coordinate your team items with your teammates, then work towards "Locket of the Iron Solari."
• If ganks went well and you want to play more aggressively, you are in a wonderful position with "Sunfire Cape", which is complemented by "Despair", an "Abyssal Scepter" and "Sorcerer's Shoes". You should also plan a "Runic Bulwark" defensively if Top doesn't. A lot depends on who is particularly strong in the opposing team and how well you did yourself.

Summoner Spells

The jungler lives off his smite without discussion. Since Amumu also only has an aggressive gap closer, flash is almost mandatory. If you feel very brave and safe, you can of course take Ignite or Exhaust instead to make ganks easier. Flash is better in most cases because of the flexibility the spell offers.

General information about Amumu

• A perfect "curse" catches the entire opposing team, but it can also be worth picking up two opponents if your team wins more than you lose due to the cooldown.
• You jump into the middle of the fight as a tank, but also pay attention when you protect or attack. As a rule, you defend your best champions and, in return, use "Curse" to target the professionals at your opponents - these are often the carry champions.
