Poppy vs Amumu

Updated Jun 5, 2026

Overview

Use Poppy's high early game pressure to contest river and invade Amumu early before he scales into teamfight control.
Prioritize terrain-heavy river fights to leverage (E) wall stuns and (W) dash denial against Amumu's low mobility and weak early dueling.

Jungle Plan

Path aggressively toward lanes with terrain to threaten (E) wall stuns and use (W) to deny Amumu's (Q) engage attempts.
Invade Amumu's jungle early when lanes can follow, forcing him off camps before he gains tank stats and teamfight power.
Use (R) to disrupt Amumu's objective control by knocking him away from dragon or Rift Herald fights to secure tempo and scaling denial.

Danger windows

Respect Amumu's (Q) stun and (R) area lockdown during early river fights and objective setups.
Avoid isolated jungle fights without nearby lane support, as Amumu's long-range engage can punish overextensions.
Be cautious when low on health or smite before objectives, as forced smite fights favor Amumu's teamfight control.

Early game

Start with a three-camp clear into an early invade or gank near walls where (E) and (W) maximize punish potential.
Fight for first Scuttle Crab only when nearby lanes have priority to collapse on Amumu's predictable pathing.
Avoid extended fights without terrain advantage since Amumu's (Q) stun and (R) lockdown are dangerous in open areas.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to isolate or disengage Amumu before he can lock down fights with his own (R).
First tank item spike increases durability to survive Amumu's engage and sustain frontline control.
Exploit Amumu's weak early dueling by forcing skirmishes before he builds tank stats and teamfight presence.

Win conditions

Convert early jungle pressure into counter-jungling Amumu and denying his scaling by stealing camps and controlling river vision.
Use terrain to create gank angles that punish Amumu's low mobility and force summoner spells or kills.
Leverage (R) to reset or disengage bad objective fights, securing dragons and Rift Herald to snowball mid-game advantage.
