How to play as Amumu

Let Briar use Chilling Scream(E) before committing Bandage Toss(Q) or your ultimate; if she is still holding E, her dive can end early and your follow-up stun is less reliable.

Bandage Toss(Q) and Curse of the Sad Mummy(R) give Amumu hard crowd control against Briar's committed dive; Chilling Scream(E) is Briar's way to end her own Blood Frenzy and can be buffered through incoming crowd control.

If Briar can push Amumu into a wall with Chilling Scream(E), the collision adds a stun; Amumu's Q also gives her a predictable moment to prepare that shove.

How to play as Briar

Keep Chilling Scream(E) available for Amumu's engage; start the channel as Bandage Toss(Q) is about to connect, then aim the shove toward a wall rather than spending E for poke.

Pressure Amumu's camps and countergank before grouped fights, where Curse of the Sad Mummy(R) can catch you together with your team.
