Latest Patch Mid

This is the standard build you can go every match in mid lane for any rank. Lane Nunu has really bad mana problems, so you build Synchronized Soulsto recall fast between waves, get mana back and speed back to lane with W. The reason you do this instead of building a lost chapter item or ROA is because the flat AP items synergize more with AP Nunu's burst and let you hit powerspikes faster. It'll take some getting used to since you really run out of mana super fast if you're not paying attention, but along with using the plants in the river to regen mana, along with the recalling I already mentioned, you will ascend as a Nunu Mid player. This also feels great post-14 minutes because you can recall super fast from anywhere on the map and reposition instantly by combining W with the homeguard speed boost you get for leaving base. In the later stage of games, nunu W being able to bring you to halfway across the map is insanely broken and isn't something that people know is possible until super high elo so you can get insane picks/engages as well!

You also want to always buy Dark Seal early. I don't put it in the core build because sometimes you don't stack it up enough to buy Mejai's but it also helps you learn how to not die as much. Rush the void boots immediatly and rush dark seal as well. If you have 1100 gold on your next reset, you should get alternator before dark seal. You should only build Void Staffor Cryptbloom if the enemy team built Magic Resist.

PATHING
You typically start whichever buff is opposite side of the lane you want to play around. For example, if you have a draven/leona on your team you should usually play towards them. So you can start on the buff opposite from bot lane and path in that direction! Sometimes you can level 2 gank, or full clear one side and then gank.

Start Q and clear Red Buff, Level W and roll to Raptors, roll your snowball from the exit of the jungle to the Wolf camp, then roll to blue buff after. After clearing blue,go for gromp(smite this), then look to grab the scuttle crab on the side you finished blue. After clearing scuttle (Consume + Smite) stand on top of the speed boost ring and look to gank either lane next to you.

BLUE BUFF START 5 CAMP

Start Q and clear Blue Buff, then go E second (its a faster clear than W on this side)and attack gromp. After, walk over to wolves and clear them, level up W in the middle of the lane after kiting wolves and roll to raptors. Clear them and gank or take scuttle after grabbing red buff.

3 CAMP CLEAR (FASTEST LEVEL 3)

This clear is the fastest way to get level 3 on Nunu. In my opinion it's the most optimal nunu clear. No leash so the enemy isn't able to track you right away. Start Q, auto the Red Buff once, then Q, then once your Q is up, wait until you can execute with Q+Smite, then level W and roll into the raptor camp. Kite towards the bush as you finish the camp, and then once you enter the blue side jungle, start your next W, roll into gromp. After killing it, level up E, and look for any ganks. If you wanted to path for the lane that is the opposite side from your gromp, you can take blue right after gromp and go play for the scuttle on that side.
