Nasus vs Amumu

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Focus on safe full clears to reach level 4 before contesting river or Scuttle to avoid early fights against Amumu's stronger gank threat.
Prioritize scaling through stacking (Q) and farming, then leverage your side-lane pressure and durability to control objectives and extended fights.

Jungle Plan

Path to secure your camps first and limit Amumu’s access to your jungle, delaying his tempo.
Contest first Scuttle only when your lanes have priority to avoid losing tempo or forced fights.
Track Amumu’s pathing to anticipate ganks and prepare counter-ganks around river and key objectives like dragon and Rift Herald.

Danger windows

Early jungle fights before level 4 are risky due to Amumu’s strong gank potential and crowd control.
Avoid isolated river skirmishes without lane priority to prevent losing smite fights or forced recalls.
After level 6, respect Amumu’s (R) lockdown in teamfights and avoid getting caught out without vision or backup.

Early game

Start with a full clear to safely hit level 4 before engaging in river contests or invades.
Avoid early invades unless your nearby lanes have clear priority to support counter-invades.
Place defensive wards on jungle entrances to track Amumu's approach and reduce risk of early ganks.

Power spikes

Level 6 (R) greatly increases your durability and threat in extended fights; use it to survive Amumu’s engage and punish cooldowns.
High (Q) stacks turn you into a strong duelist capable of pressuring side lanes and forcing enemy responses.
First defensive or sheen-style item boosts survivability and damage, enabling safer objective control and skirmishes.

Win conditions

Use superior scaling and (Q) stacks to pressure side lanes, forcing enemies to respond and creating space for your team.
Secure vision and control around dragon and Rift Herald to leverage your objective control and scaling advantage.
Counter-gank by tracking Amumu’s gank paths and use (R) to survive and turn fights in your favor.
