Talon vs Amumu

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Talon must leverage superior early clear speed and mobility to disrupt Amumu's controlled clears and invade before he scales.
Prioritize vision and river control to deny Amumu's setup for grouped fights and force reactive plays.

Jungle Plan

Full clear or three-camp path toward lanes with crowd control to maximize gank threat and pressure.
Invade Amumu early when lanes can follow and he is on the opposite side of the map to exploit his low invade resistance.
Use superior early tempo and vision to secure dragon and Rift Herald, forcing Amumu into defensive rotations.

Danger windows

Respect Amumu's early (Q) engage and avoid isolated river fights where his long-range stun can trap you.
Be cautious contesting objectives when Amumu's (R) is available, as his area lockdown can turn fights.
Avoid low-health clears or forced smite fights where Amumu's tankiness and crowd control outlast Talon.

Early game

Execute a fast first clear to hit level 3 before Amumu and threaten early invades or counter-invades.
Only contest first Scuttle when nearby lanes have priority to avoid isolated fights against Amumu's (Q) engage.
Avoid overextending into Amumu's jungle without vision due to his long-range (Q) stun threat.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlock of (Q) and (W) grants strong early trade and invade threat to pressure Amumu's slower clear.
Level 6 (R) unlock enables Talon to execute picks or escape counter-ganks, increasing map pressure and roam potential.
First completed lethality item significantly boosts damage, allowing more confident invades and objective control.

Win conditions

Use Talon's superior early clear and mobility to invade and deny Amumu camps before his team can respond.
Convert early jungle pressure into dragon and Rift Herald control by securing vision and forcing Amumu into defensive paths.
Leverage Talon's roam and burst to snowball lanes, denying Amumu scaling and preventing grouped teamfight setups.
