The Kayn versus Nunu & Willump matchup in the jungle is favorable with proper positioning. Use your statistical advantage and prevent the opponent from realizing their potential.
Except for rare builds, Kayn deals physical damage. Focus on eliminating enemy carries. Meanwhile, Nunu & Willump deals primarily magic damage (87.13%), additional magic resistance may be required.
An important advantage of Kayn is higher farming statistics (ranked 17th among role champions) (versus 22nd for Nunu & Willump), which provides a stable gold advantage in extended games and allows faster access to key items. Meanwhile, their higher KDA (2.7 versus 2.3) suggests they participate more effectively in team fights.
