Nasus vs Nunu & Willump

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Prioritize full clears and avoid early river fights where Nunu's (W) can catch you off-guard.
Use your scaling and stacking (Q) to become a side-lane threat after surviving early jungle pressure.

Jungle Plan

Prioritize controlled full clears and only contest first Scuttle if side lanes have priority to back you up.
Track Nunu's pathing to counter-gank his early ganks and punish his limited dueling potential.
Use vision to deny Nunu's fog (W) angles and force him into predictable river entries before contesting dragon or Herald.

Danger windows

Avoid isolated river fights early where Nunu can initiate with (W) and chain CC with (E) and (R).
Be cautious contesting objectives when Nunu has lane priority or when his (Q) plus Smite is ready.
Low-health clears expose you to counter-invades; maintain healthy clear cycles and vision control.

Early game

Start with a full clear to reach level 3 before attempting river Scuttle or invades.
Avoid early isolated fights near river Scuttle unless nearby lanes have priority to support.
Focus on safe camp sequencing to build stacks and health before contesting objectives.

Power spikes

Level 6 (R) increases your durability in extended fights; use it to hold ground against Nunu's engage.
High (Q) stack threshold turns you into a strong duelist; pressure side lanes once stacks are sufficient.
Nunu's first dragon or Herald spawn with (Q) plus Smite boosts his objective control; contest early objectives when possible.

Win conditions

Convert safe full clears and stack accumulation into side-lane pressure that forces Nunu's team to respond.
Use counter-gank windows to secure early dragons or Herald and deny Nunu's objective tempo.
Leverage your scaling and extended fight durability to dominate side-lane duels and secure late-game teamfight presence.
