Nunu & Willump vs Viego

Updated Jun 5, 2026

Overview

Use Nunu & Willump's superior objective control and fast clear to deny Viego early jungle tempo and limit his counterjungling opportunities.
Prioritize river control and scuttle setup to prevent Viego from gaining early vision and safe invade paths.

Jungle Plan

Prioritize fighting for first Scuttle Crab only when nearby lanes have priority to avoid isolated skirmishes.
Invade and punish Viego's low-health clears by forcing smite fights when his key cooldowns are down.
Track Viego's pathing and counter-gank lanes where he attempts to leverage resets, using (W) and (E) to lockdown targets and secure objectives.

Danger windows

Beware of Viego's early invade attempts around level 3-4 when he can contest Scuttle or force skirmishes with his stun.
Avoid isolated river fights without vision as Viego can capitalize on poor positioning with his camouflage and resets.
Be cautious during forced smite fights at dragon or Rift Herald where Viego can exploit low-health clears and reset chains.

Early game

Start with a full clear route that secures the first Scuttle Crab before Viego can contest it to gain early vision and tempo.
Avoid early invades unless your lanes have priority and vision support to prevent Viego from collapsing with his stun and resets.
Use your clear speed to path around Viego's jungle, forcing him into inefficient routes and denying his farm.

Power spikes

Convert successful early ganks into immediate dragon or Rift Herald starts using (Q) plus Smite for strong objective control.
Respect Viego's level 6 (R) power spike where he gains execute and reset potential; avoid extended fights without lane support.
Punish Viego's cooldown windows after his ultimate or key ability usage by applying pressure in river and jungle with your objective control.

Win conditions

Use superior jungle control and vision around river to secure dragons and Rift Heralds, snowballing your team.
Leverage lane priority from your teammates to invade Viego's jungle safely, denying him farm and experience.
Use your objective control and crowd control chain to create gank pressure and force Viego into reactive play, gaining map control.
