Helia Amumu Build

1. You rush Echoes of Helia.
2. You play aggressively, getting Echoes of Helia stacks and spending them as soon as you can.
3. You don't even need Support abilities. You can proc this item consistently with Guardian and Font of Life rune, Heal summoner spell and items.
4. You adapt to your team's needs: more support, more damage or even more tank.

1. This is an off-meta and very fun build that works on ANY champion with mana - even those without healing or shielding abilities! All thanks to Diadem of Songs + Echoes of Helia combo.
2. With Diadem of Songs + Echoes of Helia combo, you can continuously heal your team with high healing output.
3. Play aggresively, stack Echoes of Helia and heal!

Items

1. Start with Tear of the Goddess and try stacking it ASAP. Get Echoes of Helia #1, then Diadem of Songs #2. Then you adapt in the game to your team and to the enemy team.
2. Usual item order: Echoes of Helia -> Moonstone Renewer -> Redemption -> Locket of the Iron Solari then adapt.
3. Counter enemy team, go more support or go more damage. You can even build some tank items if needed.

Buffing your team

1. Ardent Censer is worth it if you have auto attackers on your team (ADCs, auto-attack bruisers). It will trigger often enough to be good buy.
2. Bandlepipes is a good new item that gives MS and buffs your allies Attack Speed when you slow/immobilize enemies. Good for your auto attackers.
3. Staff of Flowing Water is great if you have AP champions on your team. You'll be proccing it frequently with your support abilities.

Adaptation

1. Your team needs to engage or position? Get items like Shurelya's Battlesong or Trailblazer.
2. Your team getting poked to death? Consider getting Redemption AND/OR Locket of the Iron Solari next.
3. If you are just getting poked and cannot manage to stay alive - get Kaenic Rookern or Warmog's Armor (caution: needs enough HP!)
4. You have tanks, bruisers and your team lack damage? As a last resort, you can buy few items to even help with that!
5. Remember to counter an enemy team. For example, if they have lots of healing, get Oblivion Orb early.

General

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. If enemy is juking left and right, just walk close to them (or Q to something close to them) and R! And lock them with your Q later.

Cursed Touch (Passive)

1. Remember to auto attack to apply your Cursed Touch (Passive), enemy takes 10% true damage from all magic damage they take, including yours as well as your allies!
2. You can auto attack multiple enemies and your Despair (W) refreshes it. This way you can maintain multiple debuffs at the same time.
3. You can apply your Cursed Touch (Passive) AoE thanks to your Curse of the Sad Mummy (R) as well.

Bandage Toss (Q)

1. You can use Bandage Toss (Q) to escape. Just Q to a minion or enemy champion that is far away.
2. Q through dying minions - time your Bandage Toss (Q) to pass through a minion as it dies to surprise enemies hiding behind wave.
3. Your will still dash to the enemy, if your Q is blocked by Spell Shield. Be careful!
4. To elevate your Amumumu gameplay and land easier Qs - look other direction and pretend going somewhere else, this way you can land more and easier Qs!
5. Bandage Toss (Q) uses position at the end of the cast time. Meaning you can walk back and it still uses original location. This can distract enemies and catch them off guard, thinking you are not going to hit it (beucase you moved further away).
6. You can buffer Q during CC - if rooted or stunned, Q will cast immediately when CC ends if pressed during lockout

Despair (W)

1. You can activate Despair (W) during Bandage Toss (Q) animation.

Curse of the Sad Mummy (R)

1. Before big fights, position in fog of war (outside of view of enemy team) or simply in bushes. Enemies won't respect your engage range if they don't see you.
2. Against spell shields, Bandage Toss (Q) first to pop shield, then Curse of the Sad Mummy (R) immediately after.
3. Curse of the Sad Mummy (R) stops dashes mid-animation and prevents abilities during stun. You can use it to interrupt enemy channeled ults.

Amumu Combos

1. 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).
2. You can Curse of the Sad Mummy (R) then Flash into enemy team for suprise.
3. You can even Curse of the Sad Mummy (R) + Tantrum (E) then Flash into enemy team for burst and surprise.

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.
