the Sad Mummy
About Amumu
Legend claims that Amumu is a lonely and melancholy soul from ancient Shurima, roaming the world in search of a friend. Doomed by an ancient curse to remain alone forever, his touch is death, his affection ruin. Those who claim to have seen him describe...
Amumu vs Nocturne
His spell shield can absorb the first control attempt.
DoIdentify how your team can remove the shield, then layer control once the protection is gone. Keep track of your carry when he commits.
AvoidDo not assume an ultimate button automatically stops the dive through a ready shield.
Nocturne: abilities Riot reference
Q / Duskbringer
Nocturne throws a shadow blade that deals damage, leaves a Dusk Trail, and causes champions to leave a Dusk Trail. While on the trail, Nocturne can move through units and has increased Move Speed and Attack Damage.
W / Shroud of Darkness
Nocturne empowers his blades, passively gaining Attack Speed. Activating Shroud of Darkness allows Nocturne to fade into the shadows, creating a magical barrier which blocks a single enemy ability and doubles his passive Attack Speed if successful.
E / Unspeakable Horror
Nocturne plants a nightmare into his target's mind, dealing damage each second and applying fear to the target if they do not get out of range by the end of the duration.
R / Paranoia
Nocturne reduces the sight radius of all enemy champions and removes their ally vision in the process. He can then launch himself at a nearby enemy champion.
Riot's tips against Nocturne
- Stay close to your allies when Paranoia is cast - there is strength in numbers!
- Nocturne's Unspeakable Horror is broken with range, so try to save your movement abilities for when he casts it.
YOUR PLAN AGAINST NOCTURNE
Jungle vs Jungle · unratedMatchup guide
Opening
Keep the first catch short enough for allies to follow. Watch for the spell shield before using a control spell; a shielded target may continue moving after the first attempt.
Ability sources
Trade window
After the single-spell shield is visibly removed, layer the next control with an ally. If the fear tether is active, choose between breaking distance and fighting with immediate support.
Teamfight
Before Paranoia, identify the teammate you need to protect. If Nocturne dives them, use his arrival as the cue to peel instead of automatically engaging the opposing frontline.
Situational items
Optional changes for this matchup.
Repeated attacks and physical damage are the main threat
Armor boots can serve the protection job. Reassess the whole enemy team's magic damage and crowd control before committing to them.
