How it works

General

  1. You play as Mage building Burn items.
  2. You rush Liandry's Torment.
  3. You burn your enemies. With DOTs. And debuffs.

How to play

General

  1. Playing Liandry's Amumu build, your default rush is Liandry's Torment vs. HP, Blackfire Torch vs. squishes. Then get the other item.
  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. Items like Morellonomicon or Oblivon Orb are extra effective with this build, thanks to damage over time effects from Liandry's Torment.
  4. In some rare cases, when an enemy team has an extremely strong shielding, you can even buy Serpent's Fang. It works with your DoTs, meaning shield reduction lasts longer.
  5. They have lots of melee? Or you just want to kite them? Get Rylai's Crystal Scepter.
  6. Somebody is going after you each fight? Always getting ulted by enemy assassins? Rush Zhonya's Hourglass.
  7. If you are doing well, are ahead and want to have some fun, you can buy The Collector item. It works off your damage over time effects!

Tips and Tricks

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.

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.
