Nunu & Willump vs Diana

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use Nunu & Willump's strong early gank pressure and objective control to force Diana onto the back foot before she scales.
Avoid isolated duels with Diana; instead, leverage (W) angles and lane CC to create numbers advantages for ganks and objective fights.

Jungle Plan

Path to gank lanes where (W) can be used from fog for surprise engages and convert flashes into immediate objective starts.
Fight for river control and first Scuttle when your lanes have priority, using (Q) plus Smite to secure objectives quickly.
Track Diana's pathing to counter-gank her early pressure and punish her when she overextends or uses (E) without reset.

Danger windows

Beware of Diana's early level 3 all-in window when she unlocks (Q)-(W)-(E) burst combo.
Respect Diana's level 6 (R) for teamfight engage and pick potential; avoid isolated river fights without lane support.
Avoid low-health clears and forced Smite fights where Diana's mobility and burst can punish you.

Early game

Start with a fast clear using (Q) to maintain tempo and look to contest first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority.
Avoid early invades unless lanes can support, as Diana's mobility with (E) can punish isolated fights.
Prioritize early dragon or Herald setups when Diana shows on the opposite side of the map to maximize objective control.

Power spikes

First dragon or Herald spawn: use (Q) plus Smite to force early objectives if lanes have priority or Diana is on the opposite side.
Level 6: layer (R) after (W) or allied CC to zone and punish enemies caught in your crowd control chain.
Respect Diana's level 3 burst combo and level 6 (R) ultimate; avoid extended fights when these are available.

Win conditions

Convert successful early ganks into immediate dragon or Herald starts using (Q) plus Smite for strong objective control.
Use (W) to create unexpected gank angles and force Diana's lanes to overextend or lose priority.
Deny Diana free farm by pressuring her jungle side and counter-ganking to delay her scaling and teamfight impact.
