Who to play with Amumu — best team synergies

Unstoppable Force (R) right after Curse of the Sad Mummy (R) chains a second AoE lockdown onto the same pile: the group stays frozen well past your 1.5 seconds, sitting inside the Despair (W) puddle.

Bellows Breath (W) makes enemies Brittle and stretches whatever crowd control follows by 30%, so your stun simply lasts longer; then the Call of the Forge God (R) recast knocks up the whole pile you just nailed down.

The Equalizer (R) is a strip of magic damage and slow that enemies simply walk out of: your AoE stun nails them inside it for the full burn instead of just the first tick.

Fate Sealed (R) cuts through everything in its path but demands clumped, motionless enemies, which is exactly what you leave behind with Curse of the Sad Mummy (R); he lands behind the last target hit and finishes the carry.

Cyclone (R) has to be cast from inside the pile and can be recast a few seconds later: inside Curse of the Sad Mummy (R) nobody leaves its radius, and its damage scales off max health exactly like Despair (W) does.

GNAR! (R) only upgrades into a full stun when it slams enemies into terrain, and that is the part that usually misses: against your motionless pile he can hardly get it wrong. He has to reach the fight in Mega form, though.

Hero's Entrance (R) lands on an ally but telegraphs the zone for 2.5 seconds, which is all enemies need to step out: cast onto you right after Bandage Toss (Q), your stun keeps them there and he arrives with a knock-up and a shield.

She puts Command: Protect (E) on you before you dive, so the ball is already where the fight starts: the moment Curse of the Sad Mummy (R) locks the group down, Command: Shockwave (R) drags every one of them into a single point.

Brand spends the game waiting for two or three enemies to stand close so Pyroclasm (R) can bounce between them: you build that moment for him, and Cursed Touch (P) makes a marked target take bonus true damage from any magic damage.

Slicing Maelstrom (R) demands he stay in the middle of the pile, and outside that channel Kennen has no defensive tool at all: your stun pays for the three seconds of pulses that re-mark and re-stun everyone.

Vision of Empire (W) deals 50% more damage to anything already locked down, so your stun turns it into a real nuke; and Demonic Ascension (R) needs him standing among the enemies, which is only survivable while they can't move.

Singularity (E) drags enemies together and Falling Star (R) lands on whoever failed to walk away: two abilities you dodge on foot, made automatic by your stun. He roams a lot, though, so it mostly pays off around objectives.

Bullet Time (R) is a stationary three-second channel that anyone with a dash simply sidesteps: inside Curse of the Sad Mummy (R) nobody sidesteps anything, and every wave can crit the whole group.

Samira has to get to melee range and climb to S-rank before Inferno Trigger (R) even exists: a stunned group is the safest place to do it, and the ultimate's ten shots delete a clump in about two seconds.

Kog'Maw has no dash of any kind: anything that reaches him ends the fight on the spot. You are the front line he needs to stay alive, and against stunned targets every Living Artillery (R) lands without having to predict it.

Curtain Call (R) wants a clean line and targets that stay put, and its four shots stop on the first champion they hit: inside your stun he fires on a sure thing, and Deadly Flourish (W) roots anyone you have already damaged.

MMOOOMMMM! (R) hits hardest at its centre and anyone with legs walks out of the flame before the second tick: stunned, nobody walks anywhere, and he stays inside healing himself while the group burns.

Contaminate (E) detonates the venom across the whole pile and Spray and Pray (R) pierces the entire line: your stun buys him the seconds he needs to stand still and shoot. He is still under a 49% win rate in China, though.

Crescendo (R) is a second wave of AoE stun: fire it into the pile as yours is running out and the enemies never get to move again. Between waves her auras heal the tank who dove in first.

Encore (R) extends every time it clips a champion, so it pays double against enemies stuck together; and Beat Drop (E) escalates from a plain slow into a root or a stun when the target has already eaten crowd control — yours.

Black Shield (E) on you before the dive eats the stun that would cut Bandage Toss (Q) short; and Soul Shackles (R) needs her to stay next to the enemy until the second pulse, which only your lockdown makes possible.

Stranglethorns (R) only knocks up whoever is still inside the zone two seconds after the cast, which is exactly why it usually gets dodged: between your stun and Tantrum (E) slow, nobody gets out.

Final Spark (R) pierces everything it touches but it is a beam you avoid by walking: against your frozen pile it catches them in a row, and Cursed Touch (P) adds true damage to every magic hit she lands. Still a sub-49% support.
