Amumu vs Ekko

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Prioritize controlled full clears or three-camp paths toward lanes with reliable CC to maximize gank follow-up.
Avoid early river fights without lane priority to prevent Ekko's mobile counterplay and level 6 safety from (R).
Focus on scaling into teamfight engage and objective control, using (Q) and (R) to lock down grouped enemies.

Jungle Plan

Path for full clears into lanes with CC setup to maximize gank threat and force Ekko to play cautiously pre-6.
Fight for river control and first Scuttle only when your lanes can move first and support counter-ganks.
Use level 6 (R) lockdown to secure dragon or Void Grubs, forcing Ekko into unfavorable grouped fights where your team excels.

Danger windows

Early game before level 3 is risky due to Ekko's mobility and burst; avoid isolated jungle fights.
Avoid river skirmishes without lane priority as Ekko can use (W) and (E) to punish overextensions.
Post level 6, (R) allows him to dodge engages and reset fights, so hold key crowd control for after it's used.

Early game

Start with a full clear or three-camp clear aimed at lanes ready to follow your (Q) engage.
Contest first Scuttle only if your nearby lanes have priority to avoid risky 2v2s against Ekko's mobility.
Use defensive wards on jungle entrances early to detect Ekko's invades and avoid losing camps to his high clear speed and mobility.

Power spikes

Level 3 unlocks your (Q)-(W)-(E) combo for stronger ganks; use this to pressure lanes before Ekko hits level 6.
Level 6 (R) is your major spike to force grouped objective fights and punish Ekko's limited early dueling.
Respect Ekko's level 3 combo and level 6 (R) for his burst and mobility; avoid forced fights when these are up.

Win conditions

Survive early jungle pressure by prioritizing safe clears and vision to avoid Ekko's invades.
Use your (Q) and (R) to force grouped fights around dragon and Rift Herald, denying Ekko isolated skirmishes.
Coordinate with lanes to secure river control and counter-gank Ekko's early attempts, then scale into teamfight lockdown to win objectives.
