When an enemy attacks you combo him in this order. W,E,Q,E,R then E again by then the enemy would more than likely be dead. But try to poke him when he comes close and hold your Ultimate for when your jungle ganks or too prevent yourself from being ganked.
Cursed Touch reduces magic resistance by up to 25. When going for the kill, make sure you get in at least one melee attack, as many champions only have 30 base magic resistance.
Refrain from spamming your skills early game, as it can lead to mana starvation.

Bandage Toss last allows you to stack up damage with your other abilities early game. The length of the stun is the same at all levels of the skill.
Bandage Toss can also be used through walls on neutral camps as an escape mechanism.
The Ancient Golem buff allows
Amumu, due to its mana regeneration, to keep Despair activated almost indefinitely.
Despair is very effective against other tanks, so make sure you're in range of the opponent's highest health champions.
Despair has a 0.01 (1%) scaling. In game the tooltip only shows despair doing more % health damage per every 100 ability power. For example 500 AP = 5% health every second + 2.7% base and 24 additional MD at level 5.
Tantrum passive makes
Amumu a very hardy jungler.
Amumu is a great jungler with
Despair and
Tantrum allowing for an easy and strong jungle.
Amumu's pre-level 6 ganks are fairly strong, provided the lane is pushed. A pushed lane, teammates with closers and good damage or teammates with 2 or more Crowd Control abilities can often result in a kill, even against enemies with Flash. The key is to hit Bandage Toss successfully for the stun, and pre-level 6, you will often only have 1 chance to do so. Bandaging from a bush straight to a target looks flashy, but often, teammates will not be able to fully maximize the damage they deal due to reaction time needed for your move. It can also be difficult to hit since enemies sometimes move in an unpredictable manner. A surer way of hitting
Bandage Toss is to walk towards the enemy from the opposite direction of your teammates, preferably after your teammates have engaged the enemy, which places the enemy within striking range for your teammates.
Bandage Toss is not cast until
Amumu is chasing the enemy unless the enemy and Amumu's teammates are still engaged in battle by the time they are within range. When Amumu is directly behind a fleeing enemy, it is easier to predict their path.
Amumu's
Curse of the Sad Mummy, is crucial in team fights and can often be the deciding factor. You should try to have it ready for when a team fight breaks out. Always try to use
Curse of the Sad Mummy on as many enemies as possible while your team is in the vicinity.
Amumu's
Curse of the Sad Mummy is very effective when combined with many other champions' ultimates, particularly area of effect spells, such as
Glacial Storm,
Bullet Time, Absolute Zero,
Crowstorm and
Soul Shackles. Try to coordinate abilities like these to rack up heavy damage at the start of a team fight.
Amumu's
Curse of the Sad Mummy can be blocked by Morgana's
Black Shield and other crowd control-preventing items/abilities.
Keep in mind that
Curse of the Sad Mummy does not stop enemy channeled abilities such as Katarina's
Death Lotus or Nunu's
Absolute Zero.
If you are running away from an enemy, you can
Bandage Toss over a wall to a neutral minion camp to pull yourself over the wall. It's not advised to do this if you cannot survive the aggro from the minions...unless it's been ten seconds since you were hit, and you can steal the enemy's kill by being Executed.
Using
Bandage Toss slightly before being knocked back by abilities will first kick
Amumu back and then pull him to the target hit.
It is possible to use
Tantrum to proxy with
Amumu.
