Key combo
Power spike & playstyle
Massive spike at 6 with Curse of the Sad Mummy for ganks and teamfights; a strong AP-tank scaler who wants to force objectives once he hits ult and Sunfire.

How to play Amumu in League Classic
Amumu wins League Classic teamfights before item screens are even relevant: Bandage Toss into Curse of the Sad Mummy on three people is the single most game-deciding combo in the mode. Farm safely — your clears are healthy with Ancient Golem — and gank when a lane hands you a layup. From level 6 on, your entire game is positioning for the wombo: hover mid, watch enemy clumping, and let Katarina or Miss Fortune convert your ult into a pentakill.
