Nunu's priority is ganking>keep the team alive(which leads to objs)>farm

When you first load into a game try to get your teammates moving to invade. Glacial augment allows for very good invades if the enemy stacks and you hit your W. This depends on enemy comp because of how vulnerable you are when you are using W so avoid invades into champs with hooks or similar things. (I.E Ahri charm or Anivia stun) After choosing whether to invade or not you should (if you choose not to invade start Q and if you choose to start W) always take whichever buff is bottom side and go for a lvl 2 gank bot with your W. If you die during this gank go for your gromp then scuttle crab. If the gank is succesfull do your gromp and then scuttle or wolves depending on the in game time. You can always one shot scuttle with a smite Q level 1-3. After securing scuttle go for any free ganks. You'll want to get bot ahead to setup for drag prio by 6 minutes. Nunus real spike is lvl 5 not 6 so its ok to be down a level on enemy jg because of ur lvl 2 cheese because your q does 660 true damage to objs and smite does 450 youre really just looking to play with ur bot lane and stack drags.

The best back you can hope for is 1200 gold with Future's Market (1100+350) as early as possible you will be able to get a Bami's and Dark Seal early and start stacking the seal while hitting your Bami's power spike and being level 3-5. This allows a strong early game and if you play well your Dark Seal will take you into the mid-game.

After the first 10 minutes of a game, you are as powerful as you're going to be for the majority of the game after hitting your Sunfire boots power spike. (if possible build your bramble then continue into deadmans) This along with Glacial Augment allows you to easily stick to enemies and stack your Sunfire. Your ganks at this stage are very strong and effective at getting you and your team fed and will carry any late-game scalers to an easy late game or any mid-game spikes to a 20-25 minute end.

Very good 15 minute game

If you end up in a game past 25 minutes you are going to look for good engages and peel for your carries.

Nunu is a champion designed to get you easy objectives throughout the game. You can do drag at lvl 4 with a supports help and secure every objective solo when you hit Sunfire. Your Sunfire stacks on objectives so you're very strong for post-objective team fights because your Sunfire is already stacked and does a lot of chip damage. Your goal is to stack these objectives and get Dragon soul and Baron by 25 minutes.

Why Futures Market

Allows you to buy Dark Seal almost every first back regardless of death if you do 2 camps and die at 2 minutes you can still afford Dark Seal which is very important for Nunu's mid-game presence. I also use Futures to get bramble at 500 gold if I die or back early

I buy a lot of the Elixir of Irons(which are super easy to get late game with futures) before 4th drag or baron (extra 300 hp and tenacity if you don't have mercs is really good)


Cosmic Insight with ignite
Flash is definitely something I miss for steals
with cosmic its a 254.24-second cd while Ignite is a 152.54-second cooldown and can be used every other gank
sometimes ill drop Ignite on my lvl 2 gank just for the chip dmg and go back to farming and have it up by the next gank.
