How to win the jungle race as Amumu against Diana · Matchup data reviewed on patch 26.15
Read from Amumu's seat: the race windows this plan plays for against Diana.
| Stage | Read | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 Clear | Respect Diana | At level 1 this window belongs to Diana: Crescent Strike poke is real, but hold the all-in until their combo completes, and a landed Crescent Strike into the dash-shield combo trades very hard at three. Punish her before level 3 — the kit is incomplete and her dash needs the Q mark. Skip the level-1 crossing and bank tempo on the opposite side of the map. |
| Level 2 Skirmish | Respect Diana | A landed Crescent Strike into the dash-shield combo trades very hard at three — Amumu has no answer to that at level 2. Pale Cascade shield trades let them skirmish evenly with most kits on their half of the map too, so refuse the level-2 skirmish and answer the pressure cross-map. |
| Level 3 Route | Respect Diana | The Q-dash-W full combo comes online, and Amumu has no clean answer to it at the opening scuttle — a landed Crescent Strike into the dash-shield combo trades very hard at three. Punish her before level 3 — the kit is incomplete and her dash needs the Q mark, and give up the first scuttle rather than the kill. |
| Levels 4-5 Macro | Respect Diana — Path Opposite | Do not trade windows with Diana here: she is farming toward six through 4-5 — Pale Cascade keeps the clear safe and the kill threat is not real yet. Path opposite, keep your entrances warded, and answer the map, not the champion. |
| Level 6 Breakpoint | Respect Diana's R | The Q-dash-Moonfall rotation deletes you from full health if the orb lands — Amumu loses the straight post-6 duel. Everything keys off Crescent Strike — sidestep the orb and the combo stalls, and shift your pressure to the side of the map Moonfall is not on. |
| First Item Spike | Sunfire Aegis / Liandry's | Completing your core item triggers a massive damage, health, and wave clear multiplier that completely overpowers traditional brawlers in extended fights. Diana's first item turns the Q-dash-Moonfall rotation from a chunk into a kill on anything without an escape. |
| 2+ Items Scaling | Respect Diana Late — End Early | The full-build comparison goes to Diana: she one-rotations a squishy target and gets a second one free off the Moonfall pull. Play for picks and objectives, and end before the fight has to be fair. |
Start your clear at the Raptors or Wolves camp utilizing your E and W to maximize early AoE clear speed without a leash. Diana clears fast with Moonsilver Blade resets and Pale Cascade shields, and she leaves camps at close to full health.

Not exactly — Diana pressures 6 of the 7 windows, so Amumu is playing catch-up and has to lean on the map.
