Amumu vs Viego

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Prioritize controlled first clears and avoid early river fights without lane priority to survive Viego's stronger dueling and reset potential.
Focus on scaling into teamfights where your (Q) and (R) lockdown can turn grouped objectives and fights in your favor.

Jungle Plan

Execute full clears or three-camp clears before ganking lanes that have CC to follow your (Q) engage.
Contest first Scuttle only when nearby lanes have priority to avoid risky fights.
Track Viego's pathing to counter-gank his early river skirmishes and use your (R) to lock down grouped fights around dragon or Rift Herald.

Danger windows

Avoid early isolated river fights before you have tank stats or teammates to support you.
Be cautious around forced smite fights where Viego's resets can turn the tide after a first takedown.
Respect Viego's camouflage (E) for fogged approaches and his stun (W) which can start ganks or skirmishes unexpectedly.

Early game

Start with a full clear or three-camp path toward a lane with crowd control ready to follow your (Q).
Use defensive wards at jungle entrances to avoid early level 3 invades from Viego and his lanes.
Avoid contesting first Scuttle if lanes cannot move first; prioritize safe clears and lane ganks instead.

Power spikes

At level 6, use your (R) to force grouped fights and lockdown targets before Viego can reset.
Respect Viego's level 6 (R) spike which enables resets and repositioning; avoid isolated fights without lane support.
Exploit your high objective control with (R) to turn fights and secure dragons or Rift Herald after surviving early pressure.

Win conditions

Survive early jungle pressure by prioritizing safe clears and defensive wards to deny Viego early resets.
Use your (Q) and (R) to force grouped fights around dragon, Rift Herald, and Void Grubs to maximize your teamfight lockdown.
Convert successful ganks and counter-ganks into objective control to snowball your scaling and deny Viego's carry potential.
