Shyvana vs Amumu

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Shyvana relies on her superior clear speed and dragon-form scaling to outpace Amumu in jungle tempo and objective control.
Avoid early river fights without lane priority as Amumu's crowd control and gank threat are stronger before you reach form and item spikes.

Jungle Plan

Prioritize full clears and camp cycling to leverage your clear speed and reach dragon form faster than Amumu.
Contest dragon and Void Grubs when your bot and mid lanes have priority to secure objectives safely.
Use vision and tracking to counter-jungle Amumu when he shows on the opposite side or after his first gank attempt.

Danger windows

Early game before dragon form and major items, avoid isolated river fights where Amumu's (Q) and (R) can lock you down.
Contesting Scuttle or objectives without lane priority exposes you to Amumu's stronger early ganks and crowd control.
Low-health clears or forced smite fights against Amumu risk losing tempo and objectives due to his tankiness and lockdown.

Early game

Start with a full clear to maximize your fast clear speed and reach dragon form quickly.
Delay contesting first Scuttle unless nearby lanes have priority to avoid Amumu's early gank setups.
Track Amumu's pathing to anticipate his first gank and prepare counter-ganks with lane assistance.

Power spikes

Level 6 power spike with dragon form significantly increases your dueling and objective control; use it to force fights around dragon.
First major item completion boosts your damage and clear speed, enabling stronger counter-jungling and objective control.
Amumu's level 6 unlocks his area lockdown; respect his engage range and avoid isolated fights before you have form and item advantages.

Win conditions

Power farm with fast clears to reach dragon form and item spikes faster than Amumu.
Use superior mid-game scaling and dragon-form strength to secure dragon and Rift Herald with lane priority.
Convert tempo advantage into cross-map objective control and force Amumu into defensive plays, denying him teamfight setups.
