Starting items should always be Emberknife and Refillable Potion for optimal jungle clear.

Nunu & Willump excels as a tanky AP jungler focused on objective control and ganking. Their kit revolves around the signature Biggest Snowball Ever! (W) for engage and Call of the Freljord (Q) for securing objectives.

Core Abilities:

• Q (Call of the Freljord): Essential for objective control and sustain
• W (Biggest Snowball Ever!): Primary ganking and engage tool
• E (Snowball Barrage): CC and damage
• R (Absolute Zero): Game-changing teamfight ultimate

Optimal Skill Order:

1. Start Q for jungle clear
2. W at level 2 for early gank potential
3. E at level 3
4. Max Q > E > W
5. Take R at 6/11/16

Core Build Path:

1. Emberknife → Bami's Cinder
2. Sunfire Aegis
3. Dead Man's Plate
4. Spirit Visage
5. Thornmail
6. Warmog's Armor

Early Game Strategy:

• Start red or blue buff with Q
• Look for level 2/3 ganks with snowball
• Focus on securing early dragons
• Counter-jungle when lanes have priority

Mid Game Focus:

• Control objectives with Q
• Initiate teamfights with W
• Peel for carries with E slow
• Use R to zone enemies or secure kills

Late Game Role:

• Tank damage for team
• Engage fights with W+R combo
• Secure late game objectives
• Protect carries in teamfights

Key Tips:

• Use Q to sustain in jungle
• Charge W from fog of war
• Chain CC with E after W
• Position R in choke points
• Track enemy jungler for counter-ganks

Focus on objective control and supporting lanes early while scaling into a tanky initiator for your team.
