Amumu vs Nunu & Willump

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Prioritize controlled first clears and avoid early river fights without lane priority to survive Nunu's early pressure.
Focus on scaling into teamfight engage and objective control, leveraging your (Q) and (R) lockdown to force grouped fights.
Adapt pathing to protect camps from early invades, using defensive wards on jungle entrances against Nunu's medium invade resistance.

Jungle Plan

Execute controlled pathing focusing on full clears before ganking lanes with CC to maximize (Q) follow-up potential.
Contest Scuttle only when your lanes have priority and Nunu is visible on the opposite side of the map.
Convert successful ganks into immediate dragon or Void Grubs setups, using (R) to control choke points and secure objectives.

Danger windows

Beware of Nunu's early (W) engages from fog into overextended lanes, especially when your lanes lack deep vision.
Avoid isolated river fights and low-health clears where Nunu's sustain and objective control can overwhelm you.
Respect forced smite fights at early objectives where Nunu's (Q) plus Smite secure power is strongest.

Early game

Opt for a full clear or three-camp path toward a lane with crowd control ready for early ganks.
Avoid contesting first Scuttle unless your nearby lanes have priority and can support a fight.
Use defensive wards on jungle entrances to prevent Nunu's early (W) gank angles and counter-invade attempts.

Power spikes

At first dragon or Rift Herald spawn, use your (Q) and (R) to force grouped fights and secure objectives before Nunu can start them.
Upon reaching level 6, leverage your (R) for area lockdown to punish enemies caught in Nunu's CC chain.
Respect Nunu's level 6 (R) zone control and avoid clustering without your (R) ready to counter-engage.

Win conditions

Survive early jungle pressure by protecting your first clear and using wards to deny Nunu's invade angles.
Use your (Q) and (R) to force grouped fights around dragon, Rift Herald, and Void Grubs, converting jungle tempo into objective control.
Deny Nunu's early objective attempts by contesting vision and coordinating with lanes to counter-gank and secure smite fights.
