Amumu vs Graves

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Prioritize controlled first clears and avoid early fights without lane priority to survive Graves's strong invade pressure.
Focus on scaling into teamfight lockdown with (Q) and (R) to turn grouped objectives and fights in your favor.

Jungle Plan

Full clear early to reach level 6 safely, then use (Q) and (R) to force grouped fights around dragon, Void Grubs, or Rift Herald.
Contest Scuttle only when your lanes have priority and Graves is visible on the opposite side of the map.
Track Graves's pathing to anticipate his invades and counter-jungle when he commits to predictable gank routes.

Danger windows

Avoid early isolated river fights before level 6 when Graves's damage and mobility can overwhelm you.
Be cautious contesting camps or objectives without lane priority as Graves can invade and counter-jungle effectively.
Low-health clears or forced smite fights are risky; back off if Graves shows early aggression or lane pressure is unfavorable.

Early game

Start with a full clear or three-camp path toward a lane ready to follow your (Q) for early ganks.
Avoid contesting first Scuttle unless nearby lanes have priority to prevent losing health and tempo.
Use defensive wards on river entrances to spot Graves's early invades and prepare counter-ganks.

Power spikes

At level 6, leverage (R) for strong area lockdown to secure objectives and teamfights.
Graves's early clear speed and dueling power peak before you reach tank stats; respect his ability to punish isolated fights.
Your gank threat rises with (Q) range, so coordinate with lanes that can capitalize on your engage.

Win conditions

Survive early jungle pressure by prioritizing safe clears and vision control.
Convert level 6 power spike into coordinated objective control and grouped fights using (Q) and (R).
Deny Graves free farm and tempo by counter-jungling when safe and supporting lanes to maintain river control for dragon and Rift Herald setups.
