How to win the jungle race as Amumu against Master Yi · Matchup data reviewed on patch 26.15
Read from Amumu's seat: the race windows this plan plays for against Master Yi.
| Stage | Read | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 Clear | Respect Master Yi | The window at the first buff is theirs: Alpha Strike untargetability dodges your key spell and Wuju true damage wins long trades. Hold your main ability until Alpha ends, and force fights before his items arrive. Skip the level-1 crossing and give up your opening camps rather than the kill. |
| Level 2 Skirmish | Respect Master Yi | At level 2 this window belongs to Master Yi, not Amumu: Alpha Strike untargetability dodges your key spell and Wuju true damage wins long trades. Hold your main ability until Alpha ends, and force fights before his items arrive. Refuse the level-2 skirmish and bank tempo on the opposite side of the map. |
| Level 3 Route | Respect Master Yi | Alpha Strike untargetability dodges your key spell and Wuju true damage wins long trades — Amumu has no answer to that at level 3. Hold your main ability until Alpha ends, and force fights before his items arrive, and answer their pressure cross-map instead of contesting it head-on. |
| Levels 4-5 Macro | Respect Master Yi — Path Opposite | Levels 4-5 still belong to Master Yi in a straight fight — farm the opposite side, answer their ganks cross-map, and wait for your spike. |
| Level 6 Breakpoint | Respect Yi's R | The six-spike belongs to Master Yi, and Amumu's does not bridge the gap: Highlander makes him un-kitable and every takedown resets the chase. Hard CC is the only answer — chain stuns or do not take the post-6 fight. Your own ultimate is a tool here, not a trump card — spend it to escape or equalize, not to start fights. |
| 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. Master Yi's first item is the start of the curve rather than a spike — his real jump is the second and third. |
| 2+ Items Scaling | Danger — Master Yi Outscales | Every minute past 25 tilts toward Master Yi — he is the strongest 1v1 in the game and hard CC is the only answer left. Force your win condition early or watch it slip away slowly. |
Start your clear at the Raptors or Wolves camp utilizing your E and W to maximize early AoE clear speed without a leash. Master Yi clears very fast with Alpha Strike and Wuju Style, and he will be a level ahead if nobody interrupts him.
