Nunu Build

As a very strong champion when ganking, Nunu often has to collide and take hits. In particular, Nunu's ultimate ability to cause the greatest damage requires a long enough time. Therefore, it is necessary to tank for Nunu to avoid getting too much damage and not having enough time for the ultimate.

With Nunu going to the jungle will be the first pure tank equipment you need to get is "Sunfire Aegis" which increases 500 health but it is important to give you bonus damage to be able to clear the jungle faster.

The second equipment that must be added is "Dead Man's Plate" which is still for health and armor and an equally important stat is speed. Nunu needs speed, moving quickly with the "Legendary Snowball" to ensure the odds of hitting enemy champions. The ganking tool decides whether to succeed or not.

In the next equipment you will depend on the situation. If AD is on pure crit you will get "Randuin's Omen". If the enemy AP is stronger, increase magic resistance.

If you take Nunu to Mid, you will be semi-tank, which means you will combine equipment that has both tank and magic damage. Note that it is only suitable when the enemy team has little control and the enemy champion's attack range is short. When Nunu cast spells will be very fragile.

Be careful when rolling the snowball to avoid the wall or burn the sticky rice.

Snowballs can roll from quite a distance and the bigger the bigger the damage. You can start rolling right from the moment you leave the house to reach the 2nd pillar or take the distance divided by the speed to calculate it. Somewhere rolling 12 seconds.

When using  press and hold to release all ammo. And in case you want to tie the target's feet, press the release button.

You can gank right from level 2 guys.

Nunu pros and cons

Pros

Quick turn around.

Good healing.

Good target control.

Must be strong enough to use max ping ultimate

Throw up or crowd control can interrupt Nunu's Ulti. If you see Nunu snowballing, just stay away. On equipment that reduces healing.

Conclusion

Nunu and Willump Wild Rift are very suitable for squads that need a lot of control. If the enemy has used most of the skills to control Nunu, it will be really dangerous and can rush straight into the enemy team to initiate a teamfight to control the whole squad. Love the tight terrain, plant control and use the ultimate to deal damage to multiple enemies. The most suitable way to build Nunu and Willump is resistance and movement speed equipment.
