HYBRID NUNU - S TIER
Currently the - 1ST BEST
Nunu & Willump OPTION! (Free lp build)
Difficulty - Easy
When Hybrid? - Every time in patch 13.19.. Its absolutly the best build rn. You are super strong early and you are strong late too. Its like you get the best of tank and the best of ap and you combine it. Or if there is no ap in your team and you are forced to take ap so instead of ap I would almost always prefer hybrid.
Early Game - With hybrid
Nunu & Willump you cant lose tempo in the start you cant stop moving.. My game plan is to level 3 always gank some lane after that try to take as many camps as possible (Focus on killing
Rift scuttler
for better ganks) But
Nunu & Willump early is the best if you use it to make many great ganks early even if you gotta sacrifice a bit of farm but you should get level 6 around same time as enemy jungle anyway. You can also take any objective on level 4 solo but I recommend if you want to go solo objective then have at least level 5 (yep its the same like tank but better)
Mid Game - Mid game is good for
Nunu & Willump and you can still catch and gank a lot of times but here you will have more time to farm but you cant lose your tempo and you want to focus on tracking enemy jungler so you can know when you can start objectives which should be one of your main goals. So if you see enemy jg is killing your top and you are around bot then you either gank bot if its possible and then go
drake
or you will go
drake
solo if botlane is pushed to enemy or if you know you cant take it becouse mid or someone would kill you then you wanna just try to steal enemy jg or reset. Dont forget you are stronger then tank
Nunu & Willump so use your strenght too.. you dont have to let every kill take some for yourself too but still let your team take the most.
Late Game - You are still good.. Not like tank
Nunu & Willump. You can surprise catch, you can fight. You will be actually really usefull in fights but you should still do all the things like tank nunu in late.. so peel your carry catch champs and you have your
Consume +
Smite to steal important objectives like
Baron Nashor
or
Elder Drake
.
Conclusion - Absolutly best option for
Nunu & Willump. Always build this honestly. You are tanky and you have demage what more do you wish for? Enjoy this build cuz you will 1000% climb.
(If you know how to play tank
Nunu & Willump then its the same but you have more demage)

Difficulty - Easy
When Hybrid? - Every time in patch 13.19.. Its absolutly the best build rn. You are super strong early and you are strong late too. Its like you get the best of tank and the best of ap and you combine it. Or if there is no ap in your team and you are forced to take ap so instead of ap I would almost always prefer hybrid.
Early Game - With hybrid



Mid Game - Mid game is good for




Late Game - You are still good.. Not like tank





Conclusion - Absolutly best option for

(If you know how to play tank

TANK NUNU - A TIER
Currently the - 2nd best
Nunu & Willump option!
Difficulty - Easy
When Tank? - In patch (13.19) you wanna go tank only into full ad or full ap teams otherwise you should almost always go hybrid becouse hybrid is just so good rn. (If you prefer tank then hybrid you can build it and it will still be good but hybrid is better)
Early Game - With tank
Nunu & Willump you cant lose tempo in the start you cant stop moving.. My game plan is to level 3 always gank some lane after that try to take as many camps as possible (Focus on killing
Rift scuttler
for better ganks) But
Nunu & Willump early is the best if you use it to make many great ganks early even if you gotta sacrifice a bit of farm but you should get level 6 around same time as enemy jungle anyway. You can also take any objective on level 4 solo but I recommend if you want to go solo objective then have at least level 5
Mid Game - Mid game is still good for
Nunu & Willump and you can still catch and gank a lot of times but here you will have more time to farm and you want to focus on tracking enemy jungler so you can know when you can start objectives which should be one of your main goals. So if you see enemy jg is killing your top and you are around bot then you either gank bot if its possible and then go
drake
or you will go
drake
solo if botlane is pushed to enemy or if you know you cant take it becouse mid or someone would kill you then you wanna just try to steal enemy jg or reset
Late Game - You start to be kinda useless you will be able max to surprise catch some enemy with your team or start some good teamfight BUT even tho you are useless if you played well your team should be feeded by now and you should be able to get soul and with your 2400
Smite +
Consume you can always win
baron nashor
/
elder dragon
fights! (Protect your carry after catching someone or when you team fight)
Conclusion - Probably one of the best
Nunu & Willump options even tho late is kinda poop but its still great to play and its fun.

Difficulty - Easy
When Tank? - In patch (13.19) you wanna go tank only into full ad or full ap teams otherwise you should almost always go hybrid becouse hybrid is just so good rn. (If you prefer tank then hybrid you can build it and it will still be good but hybrid is better)

Conclusion - Probably one of the best

AP NUNU - B TIER (LOW ELO A-TIER)
Currently the - 3rd best
Nunu & Willump option!
Difficulty - Hard
When ap? - Into squishy and low cc comps. When you have 0 ap in team and you going ap is not suicide. But its almost only for fun option imo. I dont recommend maining ap to climb. (I play it in one of thirty games when I get some insanely good matchup for ap)
Early game - Early game is better then tank becouse of the demage you make. Your powerspike is level 6 when you deal hella demage. But the playstyle stays almost the same so you cant lose tempo in the start you cant stop moving.. My game plan is to level 3 always gank some lane after that try to take as many camps as possible (Focus on killing
Rift scuttler
for better ganks) But
Nunu & Willump early is the best if you use it to make many great ganks early even if you gotta sacrifice a bit of farm but you should get level 6 (powrspike) around same time as enemy jungle anyway. With ap you can take solo objective on level 5 BUT I dont recommend doing it and you should wait for level 6. (If you fall behind you lose the game)
Mid Game - From mid you are already TURBO kesha abuser with insane demage if you didnt int so catch everyone you can and try to fight for
drake
and
rift herald
with your team or wait in bushes to catch with
Absolute Zero and enjoy turbo fun mid game
Late game - Late you are literally GOD himself.. Just scream around TRUEE and WEWINDOWS. You have insane demage like no one. If you full cast
Absolute Zero you can oneshot almost everyone. So enjoy your meal.
Conclusion - Play it for fun. Over all its not that good as tank or hybrid so dont play it to climb.

SUPPORT JG NUNU - D TIER (HIGH ELO - A TIER)
Currently the - 4th best
Nunu & Willump option! (So its poop now)(For high elo its really good if you get something like jinx adc.. 500lp+)
Difficulty - Medium
When support jg? - When you get bored of tank and hybrid or when you wanna play around your adc.. So if you have some good adc friend you can try to duoq with him like that and camp him with this build. I dont recommend it and if you want to climb just go hybrid. But If you are high elo (Any server M 500lp+) then if you see your adc picked something like jinx... and dont have bad matchup you can go supporting build and its really good asf Iam doing that a lot rn too (If you have tank supp I recommend telling them ahead that you are going supporting build too)
Early Game - With supporting jg
Nunu & Willump just like tank and any other option you cant lose tempo in the start you cant stop moving.. My game plan is to level 3 always gank some lane mostly botlane with this build so try to make them fed since early after that try to take as many camps as possible (Focus on killing
Rift scuttler
for better ganks) But
Nunu & Willump early is the best if you use it to make many great ganks early even if you gotta sacrifice a bit of farm but you should get level 6 around same time as enemy jungle anyway. You can also take any objective on level 4 solo but I recommend if you want to go solo objective then have at least level 5. Your main goal should be to win your botlanes lane and camp them to give your adc kills so you can be his second support later.. You literally want to raise him like your own son.
Mid Game - Mid Game your bot will probably swap to mid so still try to play around them but dont be annoying so you dont steal too much xp so if your bot is already like 5/1/0 then you can try to help your other laners more then before. And dont forget you have to focus
drake
and
Rift Herald
so your team can be strong and with your feeded adc it will be really easy..
Late Game - You have
Knight's Vow etc.. You officialy become 2nd support. You wanna catch and then if your adc needs you will peel him and your adc will be able to carry.
Conclusion - I think its the worst build for
Nunu & Willump rn.(For M 500p- elo) But earlier this season it was really fun so ill keep updating this until it gets good again. Its not worth to play it imo only if you wanna have fun with your adc friend. Update: I think second best option for high elo after hybrid. Play for your adc that pick some super carry and it gets really fun to play and easy to win if adc have hands.
(I think this build is valid only in Master 500lp+ games)

Difficulty - Medium

So if you have some good adc friend you can try to duoq with him like that and camp him with this build. I dont recommend it and if you want to climb just go hybrid.

WHERE TO START?
I love to start on red most of the time.. why? You can path anywhere
Red buff

Crimson Raptor

Gromp

Early you have to choose who do you want to give lvl 3 gank and path for it (also think where from which camps you want to go so your whole clear wont get ruined) After lvl 3 gank always go back buy items and run for your camps / take
Rift Scuttler
then run home
You can also start from blue (but I almost never do that)

LVL 3 GANK
You want to always lvl 3 gank if its bot you can even gank from lane if you tell your bot to not push becouse if you gank from lane 99% you can kill somebody or waste 2
Flash... If u gank from lane you can kill somebody or waste 1
Flash so its on you depending on the situations. If not bot then just gank mid/top ALWAYS PING IT you need to act with your team like its bunch of kids and take them by hand so they can carry you later becouse it would be shame if they wouldnt follow cuz they didnt see.


GANK
Gank as mutch as possible. If your team is winning but your ganks are not or they are absolutly useless then go from active to reactive.
OBJECTIVES
Dont worry you can miss some but only if you make something on the map worth for it.
On low elo and even on high elo from lvl 5 you dont need to be scared to sneaky take
drake
but you need at least
Oracle Lens.. If ur team is not totally dumb they will make pressure.
You need to track enemy jungler to see his position and trade his jg / take
drake
/
rift herald
/ gank. You can steal everything if you have enough information but never ping your team to go steal with you (only if you want some movementspeed spell or something) Becouse if you steal its 90% times suicide mission for
drake
. Always calculate your
Smite x
Consume. Just dont forget your main kit is insanely good early ganks and taking objectives...

LATE GAME
You will be always useless almost everytime you will be the worst of everyone in rift and thats why you have to depend on your team. But its not like you dont carry.. You carry your team with making them perma adventage in early game with giving them kills golds and from all of your
drake
buffs etc.. In late you only focus in catching enemy players for your team to kill them (You can
Flash
Biggest Snowball Ever! in enemy carry too or you can save it to steal objectives). And you are the core of team for objectives okay with nunu you cant MISS objective in late 5v5 if you do its your bad you lose the game (unless they are extremly winning late fights). The insane 2400
Smite is the thing why you cant be better in late cuz you already have unmissable smite. Remember late game just show what you did in early mid game. If u feeded your team, have soul,
Rift herald
and think you did play really well and still lost then your team just got diffed BUT that doesnt metter you could be still better... THERE IS ALWAYS CHANCE that if you were good enough you would carry even more and win the game. So what im trying to say - Dont tilt from these types of games.





TRICKS (Important to learn or keep in mind while being OTP or huge main)
One of my most favourite thing is to
Biggest Snowball Ever! and after that insta press
Flash.. It makes you insta cast
Biggest Snowball Ever! and cc enemy who you
Flash and they wont have time to
Flash away (you can
Flash in
Biggest Snowball Ever! casting time) If you
Flash first there will be like 0,5sec for them to
Flash away otherwise.
Bug(that should still not be fixed) - If
Zac
Stretching Strikes you then you can start casting
Absolute Zero and even tho he
Stretching Strikes minion or champ you will be pulled but your
Absolute Zero wont cancel. It will continue to charge and if enemy
Zac dont know that he will get a lot more dmg then he expects. (I literaly reported that bug like over 5 times but riot still didnt do anything with that so usefull info to know)
With
Nunu & Willump
Biggest Snowball Ever! you can go around any object with enough practice (you gotta be on exact place to roll the ball around the object you want.. Its harded to explain this one so If you want to learn this then just go and watch somu
Nunu & Willump otps or play with your self becouse with enough experience it should be okay to learn by time without any guide
Oracle Lens is important asf if you are planning to sneaky
Absolute Zero enemy team or you will start
Absolute Zero and they will poke the living out of you bcs they had vision honestly just buy it every game unless your team is super bad with vision and your
Control Ward is not enough(On low elo normal ward is more important cuz enemy wont see you ganking even with vision most of the times and you will be more depending on your own skill while stealing
drake
with normal ward you have)
I buy
Control Ward only when I go for objective I know they will contest or when there is a lot roaming champs otherwise its waste of gold for
Nunu & Willump becouse he is dependable on being ahead and if ur behind you will lose(ofc in higher elos master+ it might change and you will really need
Control Ward every reset but dont forget you are not playing esport game)
Ganking from lane is one of most underrated nunu path while ganking.. Look and imagine the situation if ur ganking thru river and they
Flash you will be around same position as your laner and start hunting him BUT if you go thru lane they have to
Flash to right or left side not to you and not to enemy tower.. That means if they
Flash you will just roll for half second more and now ur already sendwiching enemy player so you cant just
Snowball Barrage start
Absolute Zero and they have no chance of escaping
This one is the trick I use really often (imagine situation where you have full
Smite and
Consume so 2400
Smite ofc it can be used on any other lvl and smite just calculate it) If you fight vs some champs with insane demage but low hp like
Kha'Zix you can start ulting 3000hp objective in pit and when its fully charged just
Consume
Smite the objective and if ur team is helping you and ur like in half of R then just stop and
Consume
Smite if the objective already dropped around 2500hp.. It makes enemy jg not want to jump in cuz now their chance of stealing it rapidly dropped and they will die for 99% if they jump.
If you have blue
Gustwalker Hatchling smite and
Phase Rush runes I showed you then on full stacks smite you can get the insane movement speed by going in bush, stepping on dead
Rift scuttler
and insta
Biggest Snowball Ever! so you get insane movement speed and huge gank potential even diving.
If you kill enemy toplaner with your toplaner while ganking and enemy have
Teleport they will most likely use it and you can just go to river wait for him and gank again right after (you will waste some time) and with that enemy top lost more waves,
Teleport and he is tilted as hell now which is insanely good for your toplaner (For you it means you dont have to give a fk about top anymore so you can have more time later for the wasted time waiting for enemy
Teleport ofc in that waiting time you can get some camp)









Bug(that should still not be fixed) - If

PUSH LANES
If you win gank or see enemy
recall
from lane then you want to help and push the lane along with the laner asap so the next waves gets crushed under tower and your laner will have time to comeback to lane before enemy laner come back to push the wave. And this thing means a lot for your laner even if he dont know it himself and try not to steal much minions just make him last hit you can take 2minions most of the times before he get mad.
(if your laner recalled before or died then freeze/reset the wave for him)
