Playing as Nunu & Willump
Tips to maximize your impact
- Roll your snowball from far away
Cast Biggest Snowball Ever! (W) from far away for your ganks: the longer it rolls, the bigger it gets, and the more its damage and knock-up grow.
- Hit with all three snowballs
Hit your target with all three snowballs of Snowball Barrage (E): they're slowed, then at the end of the spell, Willump roots nearby slowed enemies.
- Absolute Zero on locked-down enemies
Cast Absolute Zero (R) on enemies who are already immobilized: the slow grows stronger, and the explosion hurts more the longer you channel.
- Save your bite for the objective
Save Consume (Q) to finish the dragon or Baron with Smite: against a monster, the bite deals true damage and heals you.

How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Change direction against his snowball
Change direction sharply when Biggest Snowball Ever! (W) comes at you: it moves fast, but he turns slowly while pushing it.
- Move away from Willump
If the Snowball Barrage (E) snowballs slow you, move away from Willump: when the spell ends, he roots slowed enemies close to him.
- Leave his blizzard fast
Get out of Absolute Zero (R) fast, or interrupt it if you have CC: the slow grows stronger, and the explosion hurts more the longer he channels.
- Don't leave him alone on an objective
Don't leave him alone on an objective: Consume (Q) deals true damage to monsters and adds to his Smite to finish the dragon.
