Ivern vs Amumu

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use Ivern's unique camp marking to deny Amumu camps without committing to duels early.
Focus on counter-jungling and protecting lanes that can follow your (Q) root and Daisy setup for ganks.
This is a utility scaling matchup where Ivern must avoid early fights and leverage team utility to control objectives.

Jungle Plan

Prioritize marking camps for delayed pickups and cross-map counter-jungling when Amumu commits to a lane clear.
Contest first Scuttle only if your lanes can move first and follow up on (Q) root setups.
Use Daisy and shields to enable ganks or counter-ganks around dragon and Rift Herald when Amumu groups for objectives.

Danger windows

Beware early invade windows around level 3 when Amumu can punish isolated clears or delayed buffs.
Respect river fights without lane priority, as Amumu's (Q) and (R) can lock down and force unfavorable skirmishes.
Avoid forced smite fights early; Ivern's objective damage is low and losing these can snowball Amumu's teamfight advantage.

Early game

Start with a safe full clear and mark camps to enable buff sharing and flexible routing.
Avoid early river fights unless nearby lanes have priority to contest Scuttle or counter Amumu's path.
Use priority lanes to secure vision and protect delayed camp pickups from Amumu's early invade attempts.

Power spikes

Ivern's utility and (Q) root become impactful once Daisy is available to enable strong ganks and objective setups.
Respect Amumu's (Q) engage and (R) area lockdown as major power spikes that enable his teamfight control.
Ivern should avoid isolated fights before Daisy and rely on teammates to capitalize on his utility scaling.

Win conditions

Convert creative camp marking and counter-jungling into denying Amumu's farm and forcing him into defensive clears.
Use (Q) root and Daisy knockup to enable ganks and counter-ganks on priority lanes, securing dragon and Rift Herald.
Scale utility with shields and crowd control to protect carries and control teamfights, denying Amumu's engage effectiveness.
