Nunu & Willump is a Specialist that deals magic (AP) damage and brings airborne, root, slow. Some of their lockdown (airborne) ignores tenacity, so you dodge it; you can't cleanse or Merc' through it. Below is Nunu & Willump's highest-win-rate build from high-elo games; open the counter-build tool to tune it against your specific enemy team.
ABILITIES
PassiveCall of the Freljord
Nunu increases the attack speed and Move Speed of Willump and a nearby ally, and causes Willump's basic attacks to damage enemies around the target.
QConsume
Willump takes a bite out of a minion, monster, or enemy champion, dealing damage and healing himself.
WBiggest Snowball Ever!
Willump creates a snowball that grows in size and speed as he rolls it. The snowball damages and knocks up enemies.
ESnowball Barrage
Nunu throws multiple snowballs that damage enemies. When he's finished, Willump roots any champions or large monsters that were hit by a snowball.
RAbsolute Zero
Nunu & Willump create a powerful blizzard in an area that slows enemies and deals massive damage at the end.
COMBAT PROFILE
PLAYING ASNunu & Willump
- Consume allows Nunu to stay in a lane against ranged opponents.
- You can choose to interrupt Absolute Zero early for partial damage if an opponent is about to run out of range.
- It's often beneficial to delay the casting of Absolute Zero until the initial round of disables are used. Try to hang back before rushing into a team fight.
PLAYING AGAINSTNunu & Willump
- Interrupting the charge up on Absolute Zero will lower the amount of damage your team takes.
- Using Summoner Flash is a surefire way to escape Absolute Zero.
- Biggest Snowball Ever moves very fast but cannot turn as quickly, so don't try to escape it by running away in a straight line. Instead, make sudden, sharp turns.
