Rod of Ages is an item you always want on
Amumu. The Health makes you a bit more tanky and mana is an issue on
Amumu that can be fixed with this item.
Sorcerer's Shoes Are all I ever get on
Amumu. I wouldn't recommend
Ionian Boots of Lucidity if you need CDR but rather some of the CDR situational items.
Stalker's Blade - Runic Echoes Makes your abilities hurt a lot more for ganks, and the passive can help in the jungle (and a few times has gotten be some lucky kills). If you have your mind set on one of the situational items then you can sell it though I keep it for most games.
Rylai's Crystal Scepter The main thing about this item that makes it nice on
Amumu is the extra health which helps you survive when ganking. The passive is a nice touch for when chasing down enemies.
Liandry's Torment has been changed a bit from what it used to be. It used to be Magic Penetration option number 2, however now it doesn't provide Magic Penetration, but instead a decent bulk of AP, 300 HP, and two passives which are essentially made for fighting high HP tanks.
Void Staff is the other option you have of the 2 Magic Pen items for AP
Amumu. If their team has a lot of MR, preferably 2 or more tanky-champions with a lot of MR, then you can buy this item instead of
Liandry's Torment. This item has no +health so it's a risky choice if they have a fed burst champ, but the AP stat along with the passive will help you deal with any tanks on the enemy team, as well as improve your overall damage.
Banshee's Veil has received a rework making it a great item for AP Champions. Not only does it protect you from CC, but it also provides a generous amount of AP, CDR, and MR to counter any fed AP on their team. This item should be the first thing to look to if you are ever having trouble with an AP on the enemy team.
Abyssal Mask is a pretty solid AP-Tank item for AP Amumu as well as Tank Amumu. The stats really spike your survivability and the passive make it suitable for AP
Amumu. This item is ideal if they have a fed AP champion, and
Abyssal Mask along with
Banshee's Veil can really make you hard to kill with all the MR adding up.
Rabadon's Deathcap is a pure damage choice and isn't required on
Amumu for him to get kills. I only buy it if the game is one of those 40 minute ones and I have a lot of extra gold.
Morellonomicon is an item I used to always buy on
Amumu. I don't really like it on him since it provides no health but if you miss your
Bandage Toss a lot then the extra CDR can sometimes secure you the kill. If they have an annoying
Soraka or
Janna then you can buy it for the Grievous Wounds effect.
Hextech Rocketbelt is a pretty good item on
Amumu. If you're chasing down an enemy and your
Bandage Toss is just barely out of reach, then you can pop it to save your
Flash and secure the kill. The health is great too, so if you're dying a lot of then get this item over
Liandry's Torment.
Zhonya's Hourglass can save your
Ashe if you get ulted on by a
Katarina or somebody with a similar ult. You can also buy it for the extra Armor if they have a lot of
Attack Damage
