How to win the jungle race as Amumu against Ivern · Matchup data reviewed on patch 26.15
Read from Amumu's seat: the race windows this plan plays for against Ivern.
| Stage | Read | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 Clear | Amumu Favoured | Despair tank stats clear fine, but champion duels are losers — farm safe, but Friend of the Forest farms without fighting. You still win the straight exchange at the first buff; keep it short, keep it decisive, and keep the scuttle line yours. |
| Level 2 Skirmish | Amumu Favoured | Bandage Toss is your gank tool, not a duel-winner; avoid the river fights. Ivern can make it awkward — he won't fight you — but a Triggerseed root into his laner's follow-up will — but not with one camp still up on both sides. Trade, then walk away with the second buff and the tempo that comes with it. |
| Level 3 Route | Amumu Favoured | Your stun is for ganks — keep refusing 1v1s until items arrive. The margin is thin: Triggerseed's root protects their escape, and one slow camp on your side hands the window straight back, so keep the trade short. Steal the camps he's marked at half-clear and there is nothing he can do about it. |
| Levels 4-5 Macro | Amumu Favoured — Take Duels | You hold the edge at 4-5, not a blowout. He spends 4-5 marking camps for a laner and setting Brushmaker vision rather than fighting, so meet them where the camps are, not where their laners are. |
| Level 6 Breakpoint | Curse of the Sad Mummy Favoured | The AoE Curse locks entire contests — bandage in when their dashes are down. Daisy! adds a knock-up frontline to their poke-and-root game, so the margin is real but narrow: fight when your ultimate is up and Daisy! is the one on cooldown. |
| 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. Ivern's first item mostly buys shield strength and cooldowns — his spike is what his carry does, not what he does. |
| 2+ Items Scaling | Amumu Favoured at Full Build | You are the better full-build side, narrowly. He is a shield-and-root support, with Daisy as the only real body he brings, so take the duel with cooldowns up and never mid-rotation. |
Start your clear at the Raptors or Wolves camp utilizing your E and W to maximize early AoE clear speed without a leash. Ivern clears without fighting at all — Friend of the Forest frees camps on a timer, so his level and gold are always on schedule.
