Playing as Nunu & Willump

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

Playing against Sejuani

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Dodge her charge

    Dodge Arctic Assault (Q) to the side: enemies it passes through take a knock-up, and the charge stops on the first champion hit.

  2. Leave before her second swing

    Get out of range before the second swing of Winter's Wrath (W): it deals most of the damage and slows.

  3. Watch her melee allies too

    With Frost stacks on you, watch out for her melee allies too: their autos apply them, and at 4, Permafrost (E) stuns you.

  4. Don't be first in her bola's path

    Don't be the first champion in the path of Glacial Prison (R): that champion is stunned, longer if the bola comes from far away.
