Amumu Tips and Tricks

Powerfarm early to gain as much XP as possible and unlock your R quickly. Once you hit level 6, look for ganks every time your R is available to take full advantage of its cooldown. In team fights, after using your R, either stick to the enemy backline to disrupt them or fall back to protect your carries.
