Graves vs Amumu

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use Graves's fast, healthy clears and strong early dueling to invade Amumu and contest camps before he can build tank stats.
Control river entrances with lane priority to secure Scuttle and deny Amumu's engage angles.
Focus on snowballing through counter-jungling and tempo leads to prevent Amumu from reaching impactful teamfight power.

Jungle Plan

Prioritize invading and stealing camps when Amumu commits to full or three-camp clears without lane support.
Fight for first Scuttle only if your lanes can move first and deny Amumu vision to limit his engage options.
Use lane priority to control river and objective entrances, then set up vision and tempo to contest dragon and Rift Herald before Amumu can group.

Danger windows

Beware of Amumu's early (Q) engage when isolated near river or jungle entrances without lane priority.
Avoid forced smite fights when low health or without vision control, as Amumu's tankiness and (R) can swing objectives.
Respect moments when Amumu reaches level 6 and lanes lose priority, as his teamfight lockdown and engage threat increase.

Early game

Start with a full clear to maximize health and tempo, then look to contest the first Scuttle if nearby lanes have priority.
Avoid early fights if Amumu is near and lanes lack priority, but punish his slower clear by invading when he shows on predictable gank paths.
Use (E) dash to kite and disengage from Amumu's (Q) engage attempts during early clears and river moves.

Power spikes

Spike at early levels with fast clears and (E) mobility to punish Amumu's low dueling and invade resistance.
Respect Amumu's level 6 when (R) becomes a strong area lockdown that can turn grouped fights.
Use your item scaling advantage post-early game to outduel Amumu in skirmishes and deny his teamfight initiation.

Win conditions

Convert fast clear tempo and ranged dueling into aggressive counter-jungling to deny Amumu farm and delay his scaling.
Use vision and lane priority to control river and objective entrances, enabling safe dragon and Rift Herald takes.
Leverage your mid-game item spikes to win isolated skirmishes and force Amumu into unfavorable teamfights or disengages.
