Nunu & Willump vs Warwick

Updated Jun 5, 2026

Overview

Use Nunu & Willump's strong early gank threat and objective control to pressure Warwick before he can leverage his dueling power.
Focus on avoiding isolated fights where Warwick's sustain and fear can dominate, instead forcing fights with lane CC and numbers advantage.

Jungle Plan

Prioritize pathing that enables early ganks using (W) from fog to catch Warwick off-guard and convert into immediate dragon or Herald attempts.
Fight for river control and first Scuttle only when lanes can move first, using (Q) plus Smite to secure objectives quickly.
Counter-jungle Warwick when he shows on the opposite side, leveraging your faster clear and sustain to deny his scaling and tempo.

Danger windows

Avoid isolated river fights early where Warwick can use (E) fear and (Q) healing to win duels.
Be cautious contesting objectives when Warwick's lanes lack pressure and he can force smite fights with his sustain.
Respect Warwick's level 6 suppression (R) for picks; avoid overextending without vision or lane support.

Early game

Start with a healthy clear using (Q) to maintain tempo and prepare for early river moves.
Contest first Scuttle only when nearby lanes have priority to avoid Warwick's strong dueling and sustain.
Avoid early isolated invades; instead, track Warwick's pathing to counter-gank and punish his river pressure.

Power spikes

First dragon or Herald spawn: use (Q) plus Smite to force early objectives when lanes have priority or Warwick is on the opposite side.
Level 6: layer (R) after (W) or allied CC to maximize zone control and punish Warwick's engage attempts.
Respect Warwick's level 3 dueling power with (E) fear and sustain; avoid extended fights before you have numbers or CC support.

Win conditions

Convert successful ganks into immediate dragon or Rift Herald starts using (Q) plus Smite for secure advantage.
Use (W) to create unpredictable gank angles from fog, forcing Warwick's lanes to ward deeper and opening counter-jungle opportunities.
Deny Warwick's scaling by controlling tempo through repeated ganks, objective control, and forcing fights with CC chains rather than isolated duels.
