Amumu vs Fiddlesticks

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Amumu must survive Fiddlesticks's early jungle pressure by avoiding early river fights without lane priority and focusing on controlled clears.
This is a scaling teamfight matchup where Amumu's engage and lockdown (Q) and (R) enable strong objective control and grouped fights later.

Jungle Plan

Prioritize full clears or three-camp clears that lead into lanes ready to follow up on (Q) engages.
Contest Scuttle only when lane priority allows safe river control and counter-ganks against Fiddlesticks's weak early invades.
Use level 6 power spike to force grouped fights around Dragon, Rift Herald, or Void Grubs, leveraging (R) lockdown in choke points.

Danger windows

Early game river fights without lane priority are dangerous due to Fiddlesticks's fear (Q) and silence (E); avoid these until you have backup.
Low-health clears increase risk of losing smite fights or being invaded; maintain healthy clears and vision to mitigate this.
Forced objective setups before level 6 are risky if lanes cannot contest or counter-gank alongside you.

Early game

Start with a full clear or three-camp path toward a lane with CC to maximize gank threat and avoid early dueling.
Use defensive wards on jungle entrances to protect against Fiddlesticks's level 3 invades.
Avoid fighting for first Scuttle unless nearby lanes have priority and can support counter-ganks.

Power spikes

Amumu's level 6 spike significantly increases gank threat and objective control; use (Q) and (R) to lock down targets in teamfights.
Fiddlesticks reaches a major spike at level 6 with (R) for ambush engages; respect his fog angles and avoid isolated river fights.
Amumu's tank stats and crowd control improve post-6, reducing vulnerability in skirmishes and enabling frontline lockdown.

Win conditions

Convert safe early clears and lane priority into river vision control and objective setups around Dragon and Rift Herald.
Use (Q) and (R) to initiate grouped fights that deny Fiddlesticks's ambush angles and force team engagements.
Deny Fiddlesticks free farm and vision by counter-jungling when lanes have priority, accelerating your scaling and teamfight impact.
