Taliyah vs Amumu

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Use Taliyah's faster clear and worked ground to reach river first and contest Scuttle when nearby lanes have priority.
Leverage (R) for cross-map plays to create numbers advantages around dragon and Herald pits.

Jungle Plan

Path to side lanes with lane priority to set up (W) displacement ganks through narrow jungle paths.
Use (R) to flank or cut off Amumu's retreat during objective setups like dragon or Herald.
Counter-invade camps when Amumu commits to full clears, exploiting his lower invade resistance and dueling power.

Danger windows

Respect Amumu's early (Q) engage when he has lane priority and vision control around river entrances.
Be cautious during low-health clears or when (W) and (E) are down, as Amumu can capitalize on your reduced peel and displacement.
Avoid isolated river fights before level 6 when Amumu's (R) is unavailable but his gank threat from (Q) remains high.

Early game

Start with a three-camp clear that preserves worked ground to maximize clear speed and maintain escape routes.
Contest first Scuttle only if mid or bot lane have priority to avoid getting collapsed on by Amumu's (Q) engage.
Avoid early river fights without vision or lane support, as Amumu's gank threat is high with his long-range (Q).

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks (R), enabling Taliyah to create impactful roams and objective control; use this to force fights on your terms.
First completed mage item boosts (Q) poke and wave control, increasing pressure to force Amumu off camps or objectives.
Level 3 grants access to (Q), (W), and (E), allowing punishes on Amumu's predictable pathing or forced movement through (E) zones.

Win conditions

Convert faster clear tempo and worked ground control into early Scuttle and dragon vision dominance.
Use (W) and (E) to punish Amumu's pathing through jungle chokepoints, denying his counter-jungle attempts.
Leverage (R) to create picks or cut off escapes during objective fights, turning map pressure into secured Herald or dragon.
