21/9/0 for most lanes, 9/21/0 or 9/0/21 are situational Items marked with a (u) indicate utility/tank oriented, while (d) indicates damage/sustain dring->defensive boots->chalice->crucible(u)/grail(d)->gauntlet(d)/FH(u)->revolver (build this into the appropriate item for your comp)->abyssal(d)/SV(u)->Void Staff(d)/GA(u) throw in drings as you want, and of course this is only an outline, it's always best to build given the ingame situation | ||

I've never tried going top with nunu though (mb chalice is needed to keep up with enemy top laner). Can you actually get away with that kind of offensive build? Seems like he would be too squishy. I pretty much always build my nunu into a full tank, eventually getting items like sunfire and/or warmogs. Maybe I'm playing him too safe though... | ||

He has the highest health in the game and you get sunfire and warmogs? Wut. In other news, support Nunu is so ridiculously good. Yeti paws op. | ||

Highest health in the game?? I didn't know that ;o Maybe it's because I'm still relatively new to the game that I often just think of survivability first when buying items - usually my #1 priority is to die as little as possible. I will try getting some more offensive items though next time my yeti is unleashed... abyssal scepter seems like it would fit him well. | ||

101toss did you ever try out GRB during your testing? I notice you have gauntlet and revolver in your build but no GRB? It would certainly be a pretty big investment for a nunu, I think it would have to be saved for the late game as you'll be relatively useless until you finish building it. | ||

GRB and Iceborn Gauntlet sound particularly intriguing, especially the new passive on GRB, holy shit. 101toss did you ever try out GRB during your testing? I notice you have gauntlet and revolver in your build but no GRB? It would certainly be a pretty big investment for a nunu, I think it would have to be saved for the late game as you'll be relatively useless until you finish building it. Hey guys, back from a 2 week trip to disneyland I did test GRB, and while the stats it provides is absurdly strong, it offers 0 resists and health and as a result you're likely to die in teamfights. If you're 5/0 or something you could probably get it to put in the dagger, but I wouldn't call it core. Right now I'm testing a more ap oriented build since defensive stats are worse and mpen is op. It goes something like this: dring->defensive boots+chalice->chalice upgrade->glacial->voidstaff->glacial upgrade->zhonya's->abyssal/wota/sv/ga Note how I axed revolver/wota from the core build; it turns out void staff and zhonya's will offer enough vamp on their own (+170), as well as zhonya's offering more of that hard-to-get armor. If your comp really could benefit from wota, then you could use the older build, but in a league where resistances generally suck, that 35% pen really helps. As for the flask/pot/ward opening, there's no reason to do that. Just don't push, play safely, and outsustain/bully with the d ring start. D ring goes a lot further than that consumable opening. | ||

replace glacial with locket for great justice you lose: 500 more gold 5 armor 300 mana 5cdr build potential into fh/fists and get: 10hp/5 425hp (it's more than a fucking health belt) dat active If you really need dat cdr blue pot should get you to ~40. With chalice/grail mana isn't a problem anyways, and fists are probably better on ezreal anyways as of the current patch. While nunu does have high base stats, the pen changes and resist nerfs make armor stacking kinda suck compared to leaning towards health. tl;dr: fuck season 3 | ||

Tried to farm, he'd zone me with snowball/consume. Asked for ganks, he'd snowball and bb away. Tried to all in, got out-traded any time he was near a creep. Wat do. | ||

This still doesn't amount to much pushing power, however. In general, the ways to beat solo lane Nunu are to shove the wave super hard and roam, to harass him off creeps with something spammable that outranges ice ball, or to all-in him before he can wear you down. | ||
