Guide to Countering Amumu as Vi

Tips for Playing as Vi against Amumu

A fully charged Vault Breaker will deal double damage. It's great for catching and finishing off fleeing enemies.

Cease and Desist is a powerful initiation tool, just remember not to get too far ahead of the rest of your team.

Advice to Win Against Amumu

Amumu's Despair makes purchasing primarily Health items a risky proposition.

Erratic movement, or hiding behind creep waves can make it difficult for Amumu to instigate a fight with Bandage Toss.

Avoid bunching up with other allies when Amumu has his ultimate available.
