Core build — historical analysis (patch 7.0e)

Foundational item core, without recent situational additions — kept as a base for understanding the kit. For the up-to-date build, see the section above.

Amumu’s default build works because he rarely wins fights through a single burst window; he wins them by locking down space, maintaining contact, and punishing enemies who remain grouped around him.
