The jungle race — the windows in Sejuani's plan

Read from Sejuani's seat: the race windows this plan plays for against Amumu.

StageReadWhy
Level 1 ClearSejuani FavouredArctic Assault is engage utility, not duel damage — clear and path for ganks. Despair tank stats clear fine, but champion duels are losers, so this is an edge and not a blowout — take the level-1 crossing only with the HP and cooldown lead.
Level 2 SkirmishSejuani FavouredPermafrost trades are workable but you don't out-damage real duelists yet, but Bandage Toss is their gank tool, not a duel-winner. You still win the straight exchange on the second camp; keep it short, keep it decisive, and keep the scuttle line yours.
Level 3 RouteSejuani FavouredYour kit wins ganks and team skirmishes, not raw buff-pit 1v1s. Amumu can make it awkward — a Bandage Toss stun into Tantrum spam wears you down inside his Despair aura — but not as the first scuttle timer lands. Trade, then walk away with the first scuttle and the gank window behind it.
Levels 4-5 MacroSejuani Favoured — Take DuelsThrough levels 4-5 you remain the stronger duelist — keep taking short, decisive trades vs Amumu, but only with the HP and cooldown lead.
Level 6 BreakpointEven Ult WindowNeither ultimate cleanly beats the other — a Bandage Toss into the AoE Curse locks you down for the full follow-up, but Glacial Prison turns any pick into a team kill — throw it at whatever your laners can reach. The breakpoint goes to whoever reaches it first with an objective on the map.
First Item SpikeSunfire Aegis SpikeCompleting your core item triggers a massive area-of-effect burn and health multiplier that completely overpowers traditional physical brawlers in extended fights. Amumu's first completed item makes Despair and Tantrum clear at real speed and turns his engage into a genuine team-fight threat.
2+ Items ScalingRespect Amumu Late — End EarlyAmumu out-stats you from two items on — stop taking straight 1v1s, close through objectives and picks, and keep the game on a clock.

How to beat Amumu as Sejuani: the first clear and pathing

Start your clear at the Raptors or Wolves camp utilizing your Winter's Wrath to maximize early AoE clear speed. Amumu opens on a buff and clears steadily off Despair and Tantrum, so he is rarely far from his own camps before three.
