Master Yi vs Amumu

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Prioritize full clears to reach your first item spike quickly and avoid early river fights against Amumu's (Q) and (R) lockdown.
Focus on scaling through efficient farming and only contest river objectives when your lanes have priority to reduce risk.

Jungle Plan

Path for full clears and prioritize camps that keep you safe from Amumu's early ganks and invades.
Fight for Scuttle only when your lanes have priority and Amumu is unlikely to counter-invade.
Use cross-map farming to deny Amumu tempo and join fights after his (Q) and (R) are committed to maximize reset potential.

Danger windows

Early jungle invades and river fights are dangerous due to Amumu's (Q) engage and (R) area lockdown.
Avoid low-health clears where you can be forced into smite fights against Amumu's objective control.
Be cautious contesting dragon or Rift Herald without lane priority or vision as Amumu excels in grouped objective fights.

Early game

Start with a full clear to maximize camp tempo and avoid early skirmishes where Amumu's (Q) stun can punish you.
Only contest first Scuttle if nearby lanes can move first and help counter-gank Amumu's early pressure.
Avoid early invades unless you have vision and clear tracking on Amumu's path to prevent getting caught by his engage.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks (R), enabling you to chase and reset on low-health targets after Amumu uses his crowd control.
First item spike boosts your sustained damage and objective speed; maintain camp tempo to hit this power spike efficiently.
Respect Amumu's (Q) and (R) lockdown during early fights; avoid engaging until these are on cooldown.

Win conditions

Convert superior farming tempo into item spikes before contesting objectives or engaging in fights.
Counter-gank after Amumu commits his crowd control and use (Q) and (R) resets to clean up skirmishes.
Deny Amumu's access to isolated camps by tracking his path and applying cross-map pressure to delay his scaling and objective control.
