Lee Sin vs Nunu & Willump

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Lee Sin should leverage his very high early game pressure and dueling to force early river fights and deny Nunu & Willump's tempo.
Prioritize invading and contesting river scuttle to limit Nunu & Willump's objective control and gank threat while snowballing early leads.

Jungle Plan

Invade or counter-invade around level 3 when your cooldowns and mobility allow you to isolate Nunu & Willump away from lane support.
Fight for first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority to avoid unfavorable smite contests.
Track Nunu & Willump's pathing and pressure lanes before he can convert ganks into objectives, then reset tempo with quick camps.

Danger windows

Be cautious around early drake and Herald spawn when Nunu & Willump can coordinate with lanes for forced fights.
Avoid isolated river skirmishes without vision as Nunu & Willump's gank engage and objective control can punish you.
Watch for low-health clears where you are vulnerable to counter-invades or smite steals.

Early game

Start with a path that reaches river scuttle before Nunu & Willump to secure vision and contest first drake or Herald.
Avoid extended fights early if nearby lanes lack priority to prevent counter-ganks.
Use early river control to punish Nunu & Willump's slower isolated clears and pathing mistakes.

Power spikes

Spike at level 3 with full kit and early jungle item to force fights and invade before Nunu & Willump can scale.
Respect Nunu & Willump's first dragon or Herald spawn where his (Q) plus Smite secures objectives quickly.
Use cooldown windows after Nunu & Willump's clears to invade or secure scuttle vision safely.

Win conditions

Convert early jungle pressure and vision control into securing first drake and Herald for your team.
Deny Nunu & Willump's camps through well-timed invades forcing him into defensive pathing.
Use superior mobility and skirmish potential to assist lanes and snowball leads into mid-game objective control.
