How it works

General

  1. You play poke oriented Mage.
  2. You rush Luden's Companion.
  3. You build AP items, going full damage.

How to play

General

  1. Playing AP Nunu & Willump build, your default rush is Luden's Companion. In cases, when an enemy team is full of tanks and HP stackers, go Liandry's Torment.
  2. Adapt to an enemy team. Are they full of tanks, and they rush tons of Magic Resist? You rush Void Staff as #2 or #3 item to counter MR stacking. Their team has champs with lots of healing? Rush Oblivion Orb as #2 item (upgrade to Morellonomicon as 4th or 5th item).
  3. Somebody is going after you each fight? Always getting ulted by enemy assassins? Rush Zhonya's Hourglass.

Tips and Tricks

Champion

  1. Consume (Q) heals you more when eating minions. This can be used during fights, when you just want to survive for little longer, then instead of using Q on champion, use it on minion.
  2. Biggest Snowball Ever! (W) is very reliable tool to insta cc, when enemy champion is using Mark / Snowball summoner on you, or on ally champion
  3. Snowball Barrage (E) slows and roots and Biggest Snowball Ever! (W) knocks up and stuns. You can combine them together:
    • It takes 3 seconds (since first cast) of your Snowball Barrage (E) to root someone. Usually, enemies will try to use cooldown to get away at the last moment. You can chain W just before that, to ensure you root them afterwards
    • If you managed to root someone already with your E, wait a little (it depends on level), then use point blank W to prolong CC.
  4. Nunu combo: you can chain E with R. First slow enemies with E and when you are sure that you root them, start casting R right away for big, sweet damage!
    • Flash radius is 425, Nunu's Ultimate is 650 radius, it means when you position on top of enemy champion, he won't be able to escape even with Flash.

Riot

  1. Consume allows Nunu to stay in a lane against ranged opponents.
  2. You can choose to interrupt Absolute Zero early for partial damage if an opponent is about to run out of range.
  3. It's often beneficial to delay the casting of Absolute Zero until the initial round of disables are used. Try to hang back before rushing into a team fight.
