Viego vs Amumu

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Viego should leverage his medium early pressure and strong dueling to contest river fights where lanes can assist the first takedown.
Prioritize skirmishes that allow resets to snowball and convert kills into objective control, avoiding isolated fights before item power spikes.

Jungle Plan

Path toward lanes with strong CC or priority to secure first takedown and contest river vision.
Fight for first Scuttle when nearby lanes can move first to establish river control and deny Amumu tempo.
Shadow volatile lanes for counter-ganks and use reset threat to convert skirmishes into objectives like dragon or Rift Herald.

Danger windows

Respect Amumu's (Q) long-range engage and (R) area lockdown when contesting isolated river fights or objectives.
Avoid low-health clears or forced smite fights where Amumu's crowd control can set up kills.
Be cautious when lacking lane priority or vision, as Amumu can punish overextensions and initiate unexpected engages.

Early game

Start with a clear that allows timely level 3 to contest or secure first Scuttle when nearby lanes have priority.
Avoid early invades without lane support as Amumu can punish isolated fights before Viego's item power spikes.
Use (E) to approach river or gank angles stealthily and support lanes with CC for safer skirmishes.

Power spikes

Level 6 (R) grants execute and repositioning, enabling Viego to finish low targets and chain resets; look for skirmishes that start reset chains.
First fighter item spike boosts sustained dueling and reset potential; fight around lanes with priority to extend fights.
Avoid fighting Amumu before these spikes when he is less vulnerable and can force grouped fights.

Win conditions

Use strong skirmishing and reset threat to win river fights and snowball takedowns into dragon and Rift Herald control.
Counter-jungle safely when lanes have priority to deny Amumu farm and delay his tank scaling.
Leverage (W) stun and (E) camouflage to create gank pressure on lanes with CC, enabling objective setups and teamfight advantages.
