Amumu vs Gragas

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Prioritize controlled full clears or three-camp paths toward lanes with strong CC follow-up to maximize gank threat with (Q).
Avoid early river fights without lane priority to reduce risk from (E) engage and (R) displacement.
Focus on scaling into grouped teamfights where your (R) lockdown can turn objectives and fights.

Jungle Plan

Prioritize pathing that enables early ganks with (Q) where lanes have priority to force summoners or kills.
Contest first Scuttle only if nearby lanes can move first to provide counter-gank support.
Use level 6 power spike to force grouped fights around dragon or Rift Herald, leveraging (R) for objective control and teamfight lockdown.

Danger windows

Beware of Gragas's level 3 (E) stun engage combined with (Q) slow, especially from fog or flank angles.
Avoid isolated river fights where Gragas can use (R) to displace and separate you from teammates.
Be cautious contesting objectives when Gragas's key cooldowns, especially (E) and (R), are available to punish your engages.

Early game

Start with a full clear or three-camp clear aiming to reach level 3 safely before contesting Scuttle or invading.
Use defensive wards at jungle entrances to spot Gragas's potential level 3 invade angles.
Avoid fighting Gragas early if lanes lack priority; instead, prepare to counter-gank when Gragas commits to ganks.

Power spikes

Your level 6 unlocks (R) for strong area lockdown; use it to force fights around dragon and objectives.
Gragas's level 6 (R) displacement can break your engage; respect its cooldown and avoid committing into it.
Gragas's first item spike improves his burst and durability; extend fights past this spike to exploit his lower sustained damage.

Win conditions

Survive early jungle pressure by avoiding risky invades and counter-ganking Gragas's attempts.
Use your reliable (Q) engage and (R) lockdown to force grouped fights around dragon, Rift Herald, and Baron.
Deny Gragas free farm and objective control by tracking his pathing and punishing cooldowns to maintain tempo and scaling advantage.
