Nunu & Willump Build 26.22

Nunu and Willump are built around one big commitment, the snowball. Roll W far enough and it grows into a full knockup that opens a fight from a screen away, then E roots them in place and the ult drops a massive burst on everyone standing near it. A situational pick at 48.1% and on the way down this patch, they play the tempo game, showing up where the enemy is not and turning a fight before it starts. Land the roll, hold them there, and Absolute Zero cleans up the pile.

When Is Nunu & Willump Strongest?

The mid-game item window is the high point of the curve, and games at this rank average around 28 minutes. Nunu and Willump thrive around objectives, so use the power window to contest every dragon and grub with fast bites, then force fights where the roll-in and blizzard punish enemies who group too tightly.

Nunu & Willump Item Build

Nunu and Willump form a roaming jungle duo built to sustain through camps and cannon into fights with a giant snowball. The build mixes health, ability power, and haste so the bite heals big, the snowball engage hits hard, and the freezing ultimate finishes clustered enemies.

Best Nunu & Willump Runes

Stormraider's Surge adds a punch of burst onto a kit that already lands guaranteed crowd control. The snowball into E gives a locked target for the rune to hit, so the damage arrives right as the enemy is stuck. Round the page out with the durability to sit in the middle of a fight. Whatever burst keystone the role wants, it fires off the same snowball setup.

Build Liandry's Torment into Dead Man's Plate and play for the all-in the combo is built around. No one spike defines the game, so just play it straight. Once Dead Man's Plate lands by roughly 21 minutes, the roll into root into Absolute Zero starts doing enough to kill the pile instead of just bluffing it. That damage breakpoint is what turns the ult from a threat into a finisher.

Nunu & Willump Skill Order

Nunu puts three points into Consume across levels 1, 4 and 5, which keeps the jungle healthy before anything else scales. Biggest Snowball Ever sits at one rank from level 2 until the mid teens, so the roll is an engage tool first.

Nunu & Willump Abilities

Call of the Freljord is easy to overlook, it feeds attack speed and move speed to Willump and a nearby ally, and turns his basic attacks into splash damage around his target. Consume is the sustain engine, a bite on a minion, monster, or champion that heals him back up.

Nunu & Willump Matchups

Nunu and Willump want objectives and grouped fights where the rolling engage and blizzard can catch several enemies at once, so slow, stacked teams suit them. They struggle against early invaders who punish a weak level one and against mobile enemies who simply walk out of the ultimate before it detonates.

Kindred, Kha'Zix, and Ekko can interrupt the channel or dodge the snowball before it grows, cutting the engage off at the knees, so bait their mobility before you roll in. Do not start the ult where they can walk out or cancel it. They roll over Zac, Taliyah, and Master Yi, where a landed snowball chains straight into a fight those champions cannot escape. Look for the lanes where one good roll ends the play.
