Rek'Sai vs Amumu

Updated Jun 5, 2026

Overview

Rek'Sai must leverage her superior early clear speed and gank threat to pressure Amumu before he can safely full clear and scale.
Prioritize early invades and river control to deny Amumu safe access to Scuttle and camps, exploiting his low invade resistance.
This is a snowball vs scale jungle matchup where Rek'Sai must snowball early leads to prevent Amumu from reaching his teamfight power spikes.

Jungle Plan

Use tunnel paths to access camps and lanes quickly, enabling repeated ganks on flashless or overextended lanes before Amumu can respond.
Invade Amumu's jungle early when you track him on opposite side or after he commits to a slow full clear to deny camps and force resets.
Prioritize early dragon and Rift Herald control by establishing vision and forcing Amumu into unfavorable fights before he hits level 6.

Danger windows

Respect Amumu's level 6 power spike where his (R) can turn fights around, especially near clustered objectives.
Avoid isolated river fights early if lanes lack priority, as Amumu's (Q) long-range engage can trap Rek'Sai.
Be cautious during low-health clears or forced smite fights since Amumu's tankiness and crowd control can overwhelm Rek'Sai without backup.

Early game

Start with a three-camp clear into an early invade or gank to capitalize on Rek'Sai's fast clears and early dueling power.
Contest the first Scuttle Crab aggressively only if nearby lanes have priority to avoid risky fights.
Avoid extended river fights without lane priority since Amumu can punish isolated fights with (Q) engage and (R) lockdown.

Power spikes

Rek'Sai spikes at level 3 with access to (W) knockup and tunnel mobility; use this to force early ganks and invade safely.
Amumu's major spike is level 6 when (R) area lockdown enables strong objective control; Rek'Sai must avoid fights if behind or without lane support.
Rek'Sai's early power spike allows her to punish Amumu's lower dueling strength and slower clear speed before he gains tank stats.

Win conditions

Convert early tunnel ganks and invades into dragon and Rift Herald control to snowball map pressure.
Deny Amumu jungle camps consistently to delay his level 6 and scaling power spikes.
Use Rek'Sai's superior mobility and dueling to force skirmishes on your terms and prevent Amumu from grouping for teamfights.
