Warwick vs Nunu & Willump

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Warwick's early dueling and sustain let him contest river and punish Nunu's isolated jungle pathing.
Prioritize early fights around low-health lanes where (W) can track and secure kills.
This matchup is a snowball contest where Warwick must leverage early pressure to deny Nunu's objective control.

Jungle Plan

Path toward volatile lanes to exploit Warwick's strong dueling and (W) tracking for early ganks.
Fight for river control and Scuttle when lanes can move first, denying Nunu's objective starts.
Use sustain and dueling strength to invade and punish Nunu's slower isolated clears before his first objective spawn.

Danger windows

Respect Nunu's (W) engage from fog and avoid overextended lanes where he can chain CC.
Be cautious contesting dragon or Herald if Nunu's lanes have priority or if he shows on the opposite side of the map.
Avoid low-health clears without vision as Nunu can force smite fights with (Q) sustain and objective secure.

Early game

Start with a three-camp clear near lanes that can follow up on your (W) tracking low-health enemies.
Contest first Scuttle when nearby lanes have priority to deny Nunu's early objective setups.
Avoid extended fights in isolated river areas without lane support to reduce risk from Nunu's (W) engage and (E) root.

Power spikes

Level 3 unlocks full sustain and fear, enabling Warwick to win extended duels and punish Nunu's weaker isolated fights.
Level 6 (R) allows Warwick to lock down targets from range, forcing picks and enabling safer invades or ganks.
First completed dueling or tank item increases Warwick's survivability and objective control against Nunu's utility pressure.

Win conditions

Convert early kills from (W) tracking into immediate dragon or Rift Herald pressure before Nunu can respond.
Use Warwick's dueling and sustain to control river vision and deny Nunu's Scuttle control.
Leverage suppression (R) to pick off key targets and snowball tempo into objective control and map pressure.
