Hecarim vs Amumu

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use Hecarim's faster clear speed to maintain jungle tempo and pressure lanes that overextend early.
Leverage high mobility to counter-gank Amumu's predictable early ganks and control river vision for Scuttle fights.

Jungle Plan

Path for full clears that lead to lanes with priority to set up impactful ganks and counter-ganks.
Contest Scuttle only when lane priority and health allow to leverage Hecarim's superior mobility.
Use speed to invade Amumu's jungle early if lanes can pressure, forcing him off camps before he scales.

Danger windows

Avoid isolated river fights before level 6 when Amumu's (Q) and (R) can lock down Hecarim.
Be cautious contesting objectives without lane priority as Amumu's (R) can turn fights in choke points.
Watch for early invades around level 3 when Amumu is vulnerable but can punish overextension if collapsed on.

Early game

Full clear camps toward lanes likely to push before resetting to maintain tempo and contest river control.
Avoid early river fights unless nearby lanes have priority to prevent being caught by Amumu's (Q) engage.
Prioritize securing first Scuttle when lanes can support to deny Amumu vision and objective setup.

Power spikes

Hecarim spikes mid-game with item and ultimate (R) engage, enabling strong objective fights and skirmishes.
Respect Amumu's level 6 (R) area lockdown, which strengthens his teamfight presence and objective control.
Hecarim's (E) charge enhances dueling and gank threat, so use it to punish Amumu's lower dueling strength early.

Win conditions

Convert fast clears and camp tempo into aggressive counter-jungling to deny Amumu farm and delay his scaling.
Use ultimate (R) to initiate objective fights when enemy carries are reachable from fog of war.
Track Amumu's pathing and counter-gank his early attempts to maintain map control and secure dragons or Herald.
