MPen Reds
Armor Yellows
MRes Blues
AP Quints

9/0/21 or 9/21/0, typically 9/0/21, but sometimes you gotta suck it up and run defensive masteries vs. rumble or yorick.

speccing g/10 on your runes is greedy and dumb. You have two relevant 1:1 AP ratios and armor is crucial for laning. I go philo pick for items, but it's really really stupid to spec it beyond utility masteries in top lane IMO.

One more question (for jungle and lane nunu):

Vamp quints vs AP quints vs MS quints?

bloodboil your carry, ice ball their carry or their bruisers, charge ult after the initial cc exchange in an area that is advantageous for your team, find creeps to eat when you're low HP. The thing is, even if a fight ends with even exchanges, if your team still has nunu up, you get to take an objective because he's at full HP and no one else is because consume + max CDR + spellvamp is absurd.

yeah its funny how riot went on a massive nerf wave to get lifesteal items and sustainer champs under control. and then they buffed Nunus Q.

Do you start boots/3? Then philo/pick into grail/fh/wota? Just trying to get a sense of the early game item order.

Not only that, Nunu is also an excellent distraction for the opposing team. When in team fight the other team is going after your AD carry, go start your ultimate. Not only does it slow them, the opposing team has to make a choice to either interrupt your ultimate (which is a potential CC on your AD carry used on you instead), take massive damage, or disperse and get kited by your AD carry.

The only thing that bothers me is that most people do not understand AP Nunu and wave clears way too fast... sometimes I don't get to Q and die

I recommend boots 3/4 depending on which side you are on and whether or not your jungler starts at red or blue (you want to Q first to help leashing, but doing so you won't get a 4th pot), with at least one blue pot. Go for Doran Ring x1 or 2 -> Revolver -> Glacial Shroud (assuming you are against an AD bruiser) -> WotA -> Frozen Heart for core. Mogwai seems to strongly prefer Athene's, but honestly I think Morello's or DFG is also fine (in general CDR is extremely strong on Nunu).

boots, 1 hp pot, 2 mana pots.

open Q and eat shit in opposing jangle (if blue, eat big wraith -> opposing small small gol) or your own small gols (if purple, to eat own small gols, hit big one twice, eat little one, then kite between hits on the big one to buy time for consume CD to eat it when it's back up, should leave you with like, -150-200 hp, but then you get to lane, chill out in a bush and then eat a creep to heal back up).

after boots -> philo pick, priorities vary from matchup to matchup, but it's typically boots 2 vs. chalice, then you get the other one, then you either get glacial or straight rush your grail, then you get FH and WotA as appropriate.

I wonder how smashs build and play style will work in lower elo ranges. I'm interested in trying it out, but games in lower Elo usually last a lot longer (albeit the cs scores are considerably worse). No idea if it will cause issue or not. I'll try out tomorrow and see for myself.

For a later game build (as games can often go 5 or 6 items at low elo) would you see yourself just doing philo into shurelias and Kage into dfg or whatever. As I'm asking this I'm realizing it really depends on how the game is going and team comps etc, main thing Im wondering is if ice ball stays relevant as a nuke with your usual build, or if it tapers off and just becomes a nice debuff. I spose like rabadons and void could work AT&T 5 and 6 for dmg, or ga omen bv fon for def

I wouldn't buy anything with CDR on it because I'm already maxed with this build. I'd typically be looking at some combination of aegis, wit's, abyssal, dcap, hourglass, and void staff for those last items I guess.

A'ight I'll bear that in mind. I don't spose nunu ult works with his ult like tf's ult used to. Man, that'd be insane if it did.

Man I hate autocorrect

it does not. you still have to be wise about ult usage to make it count. it's still the biggest beating in the game if you pull it off though.

im just sad that Nunu's probably going to get nerfed in the next patch :[ Nunu's exceeds pre-nerf Udyr in terms of sustain and general assholery in lane. Here's to hoping Riot doesn't overdo it.

Is Nunu in the same category as the terror tops like Malphite and Olaf? The two of them lose to pretty much no melee champs, and mages are the ones that destroy them the most. Just don't see how Nunu would do that well vs Kennen.

the build is really weak actually me and my friend tested it alot and the nunu top has problems vs champions that go top because sometimes if there is no jungle on other team you cant hold them off 1v2
