Darius into Amumumedium

Overview

Use your stronger early dueling to invade Amumu and disrupt his slower clear tempo.
Prioritize controlling river vision and Scuttle crabs to limit Amumu's gank angles.
Force Amumu into reactive plays by pressuring camps and securing early objectives.

Invade aggressively early to deny Amumu's farm and force defensive wards.
Secure Scuttle crabs to control river vision and enable safer ganks and objective setups.
Pressure dragon and Rift Herald by forcing Amumu off camps and dictating objective timing.

Avoid isolated river fights pre-level 6 where Amumu's and can chain CC.
Do not contest objectives without lane priority to prevent losing forced smite fights.
Low-health clears expose you to counter-invades; maintain vision and avoid overextending without backup.

Start with a three-camp clear to hit level 3 quickly and look for early invades with lane priority.
Contest first Scuttle only if nearby lanes can respond to counter-ganks, else focus on safe farming.
Avoid extended river fights before level 6 due to Amumu's long-range and area lockdown .

Level 6 unlocks your execute, enabling lethal all-ins and snowball resets.
First bruiser item boosts durability and damage, allowing longer fights and better objective control.
Amumu's tank scaling and teamfight lockdown spike later; prioritize leads before this.

Convert early jungle pressure into first dragon and Rift Herald to snowball map control.
Deny Amumu's farm and delay his tank scaling through superior dueling and invade timing.
Use vision and lane priority to set up ganks and counter-ganks, preventing Amumu's grouped fights.
