Nunu & Willump vs Amumu

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use Nunu & Willump's superior clear speed and (Q) sustain to maintain jungle tempo and pressure early objectives.
Prioritize ganks with (W) from fog to exploit Amumu's lower early invade resistance and weaker isolated dueling.
Focus on objective control and repeated ganks to build leads before Amumu reaches his teamfight power spike.

Jungle Plan

Path to gank lanes where (W) angles and lane CC create numbers advantage, converting flash cooldowns into objectives.
Contest dragon and Rift Herald early when Amumu shows on opposite side or after successful ganks.
Use vision control to deny Amumu safe river access and force him into unfavorable counter-jungle or defensive clears.

Danger windows

Beware of Amumu's early (Q) engage when lanes lack priority, especially in isolated river skirmishes.
Avoid low-health clears where Amumu can force smite fights or invade with lane assistance.
Respect forced objective setups where Amumu can use (R) to lockdown choke points and turn fights.

Early game

Start with a fast clear using (Q) to keep health high and enable early river moves.
Fight for first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority to avoid risky isolated fights.
Avoid direct early invades unless lanes can support; use (W) angles from fog to gank and force Amumu off camps.

Power spikes

At first dragon or Herald spawn, use (Q) plus Smite to secure objectives quickly and force fights.
At level 6, layer (R) after (W) or allied CC to maximize zone control and punish Amumu's grouped engage.
Respect Amumu's level 6 (R) area stun by avoiding isolated fights and positioning to interrupt his engage.

Win conditions

Convert early gank pressure and fast objective control into dragon and Herald leads to deny Amumu scaling.
Use repeated (W) ganks and vision to control river and counter-jungle safely, forcing Amumu into passive clears.
Leverage (R) in teamfights to zone and chain CC, enabling teammates to capitalize on Amumu's engage attempts.
