How to Beat Xin Zhao as Amumu (Jungle)

While statistically Amumu is slightly stronger than Xin Zhao in the jungle, neither champion has an overwhelming advantage in this matchup. The winner is determined by player skill and understanding the intricacies of the confrontation. Studying this guide will improve your chances of success.

The magic damage that Amumu deals remains relevant in the late game. Look for opportunities to initiate or counter-initiate. Xin Zhao deals mainly physical damage (86.37%), additional items against this damage type may be required against snowballing or aggressive play.

An important advantage of Amumu is higher farming statistics (ranked 25th among role champions) (versus 44th for Xin Zhao), which provides a stable gold advantage in extended games and allows faster access to key items.

Key aspects of the Amumu Jungle versus Xin Zhao Jungle matchup

Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Amumu player to maintain constant pressure on Xin Zhao, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.

Amumu tips:

  • Amumu is highly dependent on teammates, so try laning with your friends for maximum effectiveness.
  • Cooldown Reduction on Amumu is very strong, but it's often difficult to itemize for it. Grab the Golem buff whenever possible to gain Cooldown Reduction without sacrificing stats.
  • Despair is very effective against other tanks, so make sure you're in range of opponents with the highest Health.

Playing Against Xin Zhao

  • Xin Zhao is a powerful initiator with both his charge and ultimate dealing damage to all units around him. Try having your team stay spread out until he's used his ultimate.
  • Xin Zhao relies heavily on his Three Talon Strikes for damage and cooldown resets, so preventing him from finishing his combo will have a dramatic effect.
