Nunu & Willump vs Fiddlesticks

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use Nunu & Willump's strong early gank threat with (W) to force Fiddlesticks off camps and deny his safe farming pattern.
Focus on objective control and contest river vision to prevent Fiddlesticks from setting up his ambushes and channel (R).

Jungle Plan

Prioritize early dragon or Rift Herald when Fiddlesticks shows on the opposite side of the map to punish his low invade resistance.
Use (W) from fog to create unexpected gank angles and convert successful ganks into immediate objective attempts.
Track Fiddlesticks' pathing and be ready to counter-gank when he attempts post-6 fog ambushes with (R).

Danger windows

Avoid isolated river fights before level 6, as Fiddlesticks' fear (Q) and silence (E) can lock you down.
Be cautious contesting objectives without lane priority or vision, as Fiddlesticks can channel (R) to ambush.
Watch for low-health clears or forced Smite fights where Fiddlesticks' high clear speed and ambush potential can punish you.

Early game

Start with a fast clear using (Q) to maintain health and tempo, then look to gank lanes with priority using (W) angles through fog.
Fight for first Scuttle Crab only if nearby lanes have priority to avoid Fiddlesticks' counter-ganks.
Avoid isolated fights early, especially if lanes lack vision control, to reduce risk from Fiddlesticks' fear (Q) and silence (E).

Power spikes

First dragon or Herald spawn: Use (Q) plus Smite to secure objectives quickly and force fights on your terms.
Level 6: Layer (R) after (W) or allied CC to maximize zone control and punish enemies caught in your chain.
Respect Fiddlesticks' level 6 (R) channel, which can turn fights if you get caught isolated or without vision.

Win conditions

Convert early ganks with (W) and objective control using (Q) and Smite into dragon and Rift Herald leads.
Deny Fiddlesticks' vision to limit his ambush angles and force him into unfavorable fights.
Use your CC chain and zone control (R) in teamfights to enable your carries and secure objectives before Fiddlesticks scales.
