They called this, preseason nightmare.

Amumu is forgotten champion because this is the AD Bruiser + Eve meta for jungle. however, some of the new items are aimed to jungle and then.. Sunfire Aegis. This is also for new jungle summoners. so if you're new, you can use Amumu to learn jungle.

Pros

  • Flex build, as AP or Tank champ.
  • Deadly ultimate at teamfight.
  • Can take out objective fast with Sunfire Aegis.

Cons

  • Has the slowest movement speed for jungle champ, 335 ms. everyone in the jungle has 340 or 345 ms.
  • his jungle clear is slow
  • Clunky jungler.

Item Build Description

Additional information on the items

There's two ways to play AmumuAmumu , AP Jungler or Tank Jungler. if you're new or you want to pick safely in Ranked, go Tank. but if there's tank in your team (e.g MalphiteMalphite LeonaLeona Jarvan IvJarvan Iv )  and your team lack of AP ( YasuoYasuo or ZedZed has been picked by your team] go AP Jungler.

Tank Jungler : Liandry's TormentLiandry's Torment is a must build for both build as you can stack the bonus damage from Madness easily and if you land your Bandage TossBandage Toss or Curse Of The Sad MummyCurse Of The Sad Mummy you will proc Torment aspect. rush it immediately and get your def boots (preferably with [Gargoyle Enchantment] ) and then get your Sunfire AegisSunfire Aegis . AmumuAmumu , imo, will take Sunfire AegisSunfire Aegis 's usefulness to the moon. and then you can finish your build as above or you can pick from AP build.

AP Jungler : We will skip Sunfire AegisSunfire Aegis for Rod of AgesRod of Ages because you need mana from RoA. Same as tank jungler, get your Rod of AgesRod of Ages and your def boots and get Liandry's TormentLiandry's Torment . same as tank jungler, you may pick 3 more items from tank jungler item or finish your build above.

Aftershock is no joke as the defense and the damage coming from your tankiness and armour. this will be your keystone for both builds.

Weakness is a must because basically you buffed your teammates' damage if you able to catch someone in your cc.
Hunter - Titan as you will ganking a lot and health bonus is great. but recently, i talked to some jungle player they would like to swap it with Regeneration as mana issues still lingering him.
Mastermind, duh do this thing need introduction for jungle?

He can escape but Amumu just need to press Curse Of The Sad MummyCurse Of The Sad Mummy and he can't escape your teammates' wrath.

Amumu

Sunfire Aegis + Amumu

Sunfire AegisSunfire Aegis

Let me tell you a story. Back in December 2020, as preseason 11 coming through, Riot Games gives Summoner's Rift a new system called Mythic Items. tl;dr Mythic Items are items that will dictate your item builds and diversity of the items build. But, the passive aspect of Sunfire AegisSunfire Aegis is eye catching, especially Immolate one. And then, everyone spam Amumu and using this item to bake Nasor as soon as possible. but AmumuAmumu getting more nerf and nerf to Sunfire AegisSunfire Aegis

Amumu is the must buy user for Sunfire AegisSunfire Aegis as the Immolate aspect is deadly, combine it with Curse Of The Sad MummyCurse Of The Sad Mummy basically you just bake your enemy into well done.

Can history repeat itself in Wild Rift as same in Summoner's Rift?

Amumu

Amumu's imaginary BFF.

Miss FortuneMiss Fortune Curse Of The Sad MummyCurse Of The Sad Mummy + Bullet TimeBullet Time = ez ACE
OriannaOrianna Bandage TossBandage Toss + Curse Of The Sad MummyCurse Of The Sad Mummy + Command: ShockwaveCommand: Shockwave = another ez ACE

So AmumuAmumu is a initiator and follow up initiate. you will be playmaker for them. so make your moves.

Amumu

Early - Mid

i hated his early game, but i will do it.

AmumuAmumu biggest weakness is hard jungle phase same as CamilleCamille Pantheon and Diana jungle . you got your buff stolen, and that's it. just go next ff 5. and also you're lucky if you getting leashed by your teammates (usually you don't get leashed) . so you will need lvl 5 gank. do as usual stuff (won't explain here. go to this jungle guide. you will need it.) and get your first item Rod of AgesRod of Ages or Liandry's TormentLiandry's Torment

Now, your obligation now are taking objectives or helping your laner to win. AmumuAmumu is good objectives taker, but still mana issues. 

Amumu

Late Game

Now, right now you getting your items it's time to make more critical moves. do we need baron? do we end? do we go for elder dragon?

This is why AmumuAmumu still scary even in late game. he can bake nasor, he can initiate on people that overextend, he can tank a lot of damage, he can save his team. your job isnt kill everyone, but finding the right decision for your team, as you are the baby sitter for your team.

lead your team to victory as AmumuAmumu . i swear this champ will helping you to grow as jungler. good luck!
