Amumu vs Zyra

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 10, 2026

Overview

Prioritize controlled first clears to avoid early pressure from Zyra's poke and zone control.
Use (Q) for long-range engages after securing lanes with crowd control follow-up.
Focus on forcing grouped fights post-level 6 to maximize (R) lockdown and objective control.

Jungle Plan

Contest first Scuttle only if nearby lanes can move first and follow up on engages.
Use vision control to deny Zyra's brush control and limit her poke angles.
Prioritize dragon and Rift Herald setups post-level 6 to leverage (R) for objective turns and teamfights.

Danger windows

Early invade windows before level 3 when Amumu's dueling is weak and Zyra can punish isolated fights.
Isolated river fights without lane priority risk being outnumbered or rooted by (E).
Objective setups where Zyra controls brush and zones with plants increase counter-engage threat from (R).

Early game

Start with a full clear or three-camp path toward lanes ready to follow (Q) engages.
Avoid river fights unless nearby lanes have priority to prevent being forced off camps.
Secure defensive wards on jungle entrances to protect against Zyra's early invades.

Power spikes

Level 6 spike: (R) enables strong area lockdown, turning fights around objectives.
Post-level 3: Full kit allows safer ganks with (Q) and crowd control synergy.
Mid-game: Tank stats and teamfight presence peak, increasing dueling and engage threat.

Win conditions

Survive early jungle pressure, then force grouped fights using (Q) and (R) around dragon and Rift Herald.
Use (Q) to initiate when lanes have priority, securing kills or forcing enemy retreats.
Deny Zyra's brush control and poke by controlling vision and forcing her out of safe zones before objectives.
