How to Beat Viego as Nunu & Willump (Jungle)

While statistically Nunu & Willump is slightly stronger than Viego in the jungle, neither champion has an overwhelming advantage in this matchup. The winner is determined by player skill and understanding the intricacies of the confrontation. Studying this guide will improve your chances of success.

The magic damage that Nunu & Willump deals remains relevant in the late game. Look for opportunities to initiate or counter-initiate. Viego deals mainly physical damage (84.27%), additional items against this damage type may be required against snowballing or aggressive play.

Consider the farming superiority demonstrated by Viego, ranking 10th (versus 63rd for Nunu & Willump) in farming efficiency among champions in this role. This means the opponent can build gold advantages more quickly. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (2.5 versus 2.7) suggests they are less effective in team fights.

Key aspects of the Nunu & Willump Jungle versus Viego Jungle matchup

Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Nunu & Willump player to maintain constant pressure on Viego, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.

Nunu & Willump tips:

  • Consume allows Nunu to stay in a lane against ranged opponents.
  • You can choose to interrupt Absolute Zero early for partial damage if an opponent is about to run out of range.
  • It's often beneficial to delay the casting of Absolute Zero until the initial round of disables are used. Try to hang back before rushing into a team fight.
