Support Amumu Build

1. You're a healer, Harry.
2. Even though Amumu is not typical support, you are gonna support your team very effectively. With heals, shields and buffs:
• Heal summoner spell.
• Guardian and Font of Life runes.
• Redemption, Locket of the Iron Solari and Moonstone Renewer and other items.
• Diadem of Songs for some sweet and constant healing.

1. Play safe, stay in the back and play like support, so you can stay and heal more. 🛡️
2. Sometimes, you can go in and play more aggressively when the opportunity is right. ⚔️
3. Focus on healing and shielding to keep allies alive. 💖
4. Use Redemption, Locket, and Heal on cooldown for healing. ✨

1. This is an off-meta and very fun build that works on ANY champion - even those without healing or shielding abilities!
2. Your job is to stay alive and provide constant healing, shielding, and buffs to your team through items and summoner spells.
3. Play safe and stay in the back. The longer you survive, the more you can heal your teammates.

Items

1. Your first rush is Redemption.
2. Your second rush can be Locket of the Iron Solari (vs AoE burst) or Moonstone Renewer (for sustained healing).
3. Rush Locket #2 if your team is already doing teamfights or when enemy team has champions with super AoE damage. Otherwise, get Moonstone Renewer #2.
4. If you manage to stack if quite fast, you can rush Diadem of Songs as well.
5. Echoes of Helia is a strong option - you can proc it consistently with Font of Life (from your slow/CC abilities). However it encourages you to play aggressive to stack it and with this build, you really want to stay behind and play passive. Be careful.
6. Knight's Vow is surprisingly strong if you have a carry/strong bruiser/strong tank. Stick with them and support them specifically.

Summoner Spell

1. Try to use summoner spell Heal on cooldown, especially when 2+ allies are nearby. With Moonstone Renewer, you want to heal multiple people for maximum value.

Late game

1. Later in the game (6 items), you can sell boots for a sixth support item to maximize your healing output.

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.
4. Cryptbloom is interesting if you want to go full healing. Get it as #4+ item.

Runes

1. Guardian is your most important rune. It provides massive shielding, but remember: you need to be close to your allies to proc it.
• You can also manipulate it - for example, you can stick to one ally, or avoid some spells that's gonna only waste it.
2. Another important rule is Cosmic Insight. It is crucial because it reduces cooldowns for your active items and Heal summoner spell:
• Redemption and Locket of the Iron Solari - 81.92 sec cooldown (down from 90 sec).
• Shurelya's Battlesong - 68.12 sec cooldown (down from 75 sec).
• Heal summoner spell gets reduced cooldown too!
3. You will be triggering Font of Life effect, which will heal your allies. It also chains off Moonstone Renewer!
4. Important Font of Life total healing is NOT properly calculated in post-game stats. The actual value in-game is much higher than displayed! You heal more than you think!

Redemption

1. Try to use Redemption on cooldown when your allies are missing health. It's best used when they are grouped together.
2. If you already have Moonstone Renewer, wait (or ping) until allies group before using Redemption, so you can heal everyone at once.
3. You CAN use Redemption for damage, but generally it's not worth it. Keep it to heal your team!
4. Be careful when using Redemption while dead and about to respawn. The camera will snap to your position, and you might accidentally cast it in the spawn pool. Watch out for bad timing!

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.
