Kayn vs Amumu

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Prioritize safe full clears to gather form orbs and avoid early risky fights against Amumu's stronger early presence.
Use your superior clear speed and wall mobility to path cross-map and avoid direct early skirmishes with Amumu.
Focus on mid-game form timing and terrain-based ganks to outmaneuver Amumu's teamfight-centric playstyle.

Jungle Plan

Prioritize efficient full clears that funnel into lanes with priority to secure form orbs and avoid losing tempo to Amumu.
Contest Scuttle only when your lanes can move first and help secure river control to deny Amumu's engage angles.
Use wall paths and cross-map rotations to counter-jungle Amumu when he commits to slow clears or grouped objective setups.

Danger windows

Early levels before form are risky; avoid isolated fights where Amumu can land (Q) stun and follow up with (R).
Be cautious contesting objectives without lane priority as Amumu's (R) can lock down teams in choke points.
Avoid low-health clears near river or jungle entrances where Amumu can force smite fights or counter-invades.

Early game

Start with a full clear to maximize form progress and avoid early invade risks from Amumu's level 3 pressure.
Only contest first Scuttle if nearby lanes have priority and can assist to counter Amumu's strong early gank threat.
Avoid early river fights without lane priority; instead, use wall paths to secure camps and prepare for mid-game plays.

Power spikes

Kayn's form transformation is a major spike; use it to force fights that favor your chosen win condition and mobility.
Amumu's (Q) and (R) spikes require you to respect his engage range and avoid isolated river fights before you have form.
Post-form, Kayn's mobility and knockup allow you to punish Amumu's lower dueling power and lack of mobility.

Win conditions

Convert your faster clear speed and wall mobility into safe form collection and tempo control across the map.
Use your transformed form and terrain ganks to punish Amumu's lack of early dueling and force objectives on your terms.
Deny Amumu free farm and scaling by invading camps when he commits to grouped fights or slow clears post-level 6.
