How it works

General

  1. You play as burst oriented Mage.
  2. You build AP items.
  3. You rush Stormsurge.

How to play

General

  1. Playing AP Amumu build, your default rush is Stormsurge.
  2. Adapt to an enemy team. Are they full of tanks, and they rush tons of Magic Resist? You rush Void Staff as #2 or #3 item to counter MR stacking. Their team has champs with lots of healing? Rush Oblivion Orb as #2 item (upgrade to Morellonomicon as 4th or 5th item).
  3. Somebody is going after you each fight? Always getting ulted by enemy assassins? Rush Zhonya's Hourglass.

Tips and Tricks

Champion

  1. You have great engaging tools - Bandage Toss (Q) and Curse of the Sad Mummy (R)! Always play with the team and do not be shy and do not wait for 'special moment'!
  2. You can pretend to face another direction / go another direction to land easier Qs.
  3. Simple and easy, but excellent combo that wins fights is: Bandage Toss (Q) or Mark (Snowball) to a minion + Flash into an enemy team + use Curse of the Sad Mummy (R).

Riot

  1. Amumu is highly dependent on teammates, so try laning with your friends for maximum effectiveness.
  2. Cooldown Reduction on Amumu is very strong, but it's often difficult to itemize for it. Grab the Golem buff whenever possible to gain Cooldown Reduction without sacrificing stats.
  3. Despair is very effective against other tanks, so make sure you're in range of opponents with the highest Health.
