Taliyah vs Nunu & Willump

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Use Taliyah's superior clear speed and worked ground to reach river first and contest Scuttle, limiting Nunu's early objective control.
Leverage (R) for cross-map plays to create numbers advantages around dragon and Herald, turning mid push into map pressure.

Jungle Plan

Track Nunu's pathing to anticipate and counter his early ganks or objective attempts while completing full clears.
Fight for first Scuttle only when nearby lanes have priority to avoid being collapsed on by Nunu's (W) engages.
Use (R) to cut off Nunu's escape routes or join side-lane skirmishes after safely pushing mid wave, maximizing map pressure.

Danger windows

Respect Nunu's (W) snowball engages from fog when lanes are overextended without vision to avoid lethal ganks.
Avoid isolated river fights where Nunu can chain CC with (W) knockup and (E) root, forcing unfavorable skirmishes.
Be cautious around forced smite fights at early dragons or Herald where Nunu's (Q) sustain plus Smite secure control.

Early game

Prioritize a full clear with efficient camp sequencing to hit level 3 before Nunu and secure early river control.
Avoid isolated fights early; path towards lanes with CC setup to maximize (W) displacement impact.
Maintain worked ground to preserve mobility for counter-ganks and objective contests without losing tempo.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks (R), enabling impactful map pressure for forcing fights or securing objectives before Nunu can respond.
First completed mage item boosts poke and wave control, allowing safer roams and objective setups.
Early dragon or Herald spawn requires converting successful ganks into immediate objective contests to deny Nunu's advantage.

Win conditions

Convert clear tempo and mid push into river control and coordinated ganks using (W) displacement and (E) zoning to punish Nunu's approach.
Deny Nunu free objective starts by contesting Scuttle and establishing vision around dragon and Herald with sustained map pressure.
Use (R) to create numbers advantages in side lanes or objective fights, leveraging Taliyah's scaling poke to snowball leads.
