Why it works
- Amumu stuns. His Q throws a bandage that damages and stuns as he closes in; his R wraps and stuns nearby units.
- Anivia blocks. Her W creates an ice wall that blocks movement; her Q sends a sphere that damages and slows.
- Glacial storm. Anivia's R damages and hampers movement for a while.
- Curse. Amumu's W makes nearby enemies lose a percentage of their maximum health.
Weak points: Assassins and champions with a jump; it depends on coordination between both players. To verify
