Snowball's Rank 1 Full AP Nunu Guide! (Jg/Mid) Patch 14.24

By SnowballBarrage
Enjoying my Guide?

I'm glad that I am helping you become a better AP Nunu player. I am the rank 1 AP Nunu NA, and I am a Twitch Streamer currently on a mission to Twitch Partner. If you feel like tapping into a livestream and asking questions or just watching/chilling then click dat shi!



I am Snowball. You may recognize me from the YouTube channel Synapse here and there, or have just seen me on the rift. I hover Grandmasters elo playing nunu Nunu & Willump. I hit challenger once I decided to try, peaking Rank 40 something and 760LP ish. Though I had to have a big delay on stream and didn't look at chat to focus so I like to focus on entertainment and hover a lower elo like Master-GM. This page is an in depth guide on how to play full AP Nunu with high aura, including what items to build and when, counters and how to play relevant matchups, and runes or pathing as well.

My Twitch stream will also be embedded into my guide, so if you have any questions that aren’t answered here, feel free to ask me in my Twitch chat








PRO’S
🡆 Extremely High Damage
🡆 Heal a lot (on minions/monsters)
🡆 S tier ganking
🡆 Rarely lose a smite-off
🡆 High CC
🡆 High Aura
Con’s:
🡆 No DPS(Damage per Second)
🡆 No dashes or immediate mobility
🡆 Reliance on teammates
🡆 Ult easily canceled
🡆 Average Clear Speed
🡆 Easiest champ to kill (besides Yuumi)
🡆 Very Easily Punished
STANDARD 12.24 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. This feels great post-14 minutes with homeguards and you'll never go back.

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. You only build Void Staffor Cryptbloom if the enemy team built Magic Resist.
AP Nunu JG

If the enemy team has a lot of AP poke, build Banshee's Veil and if they have a lot of healing build Morellonomicon

PATHING
You typically start whichever buff is opposite side of the lane you want to play around. Sometimes you can level 2 gank, or full clear one side and then gank.

RED BUFF START 5 CAMP
🡆 🡆 🡆 🡆 🡆


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.

FRIGHT NIGHT NUNU

GANKING
The way a Jungler knows if a lane is gankable is through 4 main factors.

1. Is the enemy mobile?

2. Does your teammate have good follow up in their kit?

3. Is the lane pushed towards you or the enemy?

4. Do you know where the enemy’s teammates are?

The more mobile the enemy is, the harder to gank.

The better follow up your teammate has, the easier to gank. (Any type of CCs or burst damage)

If the lane is pushed towards the enemy, the lane is generally ungankable. If the lane is pushed towards your teammate, the lane is generally gankable. There are some exceptions to these rules though.

If an enemy is by their turret, they are susceptible to a tower dive. However, they are only vulnerable to this strategy if they are low on mana, behind in levels (compared to your laner) or if you have an extra teammate with you.

If the lane is pushed towards your teammate but there is a large crowd of enemy minions built up, this lane is typically ungankable. This rule applies to early game (levels 1-6) and also varies depending on the matchup of each laner. Try to follow this rule until you understand matchups more.
COUNTER-GANKING

Counter-Ganking is as simple as it sounds. If your teammates lane seems gankable, you could shadow the lane and wait for the enemy jungler. Like any other, there are issues with this strategy. You could sit in your teammates lane doing nothing to potentially waste a lot of time for nothing. Setting up a counter gank is a high risk, high reward strategy. Doing this is fully rewarded once you learn how to start tracking the enemy jungler. Once you learn how to do this, you will have more justified, educated guesses based on your knowledge of timing and pathing.
