How to win the jungle race as Fiddlesticks against Nunu & Willump · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Read | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 Clear | W Drain Clear | Open with W and drain the big monster while the camp's damage refunds into your health bar. Your first clear is healthy and quick once the W-E rhythm settles, and effigies ward your back as you go. Plant the first effigy at your jungle entrance before the clear even starts. |
| Level 2 Skirmish | Even Skirmish | The level 2-3 standoff is channel math: uninterrupted W out-sustains their damage, interrupted W loses outright. Fight only with Q held to fear their interrupt attempt and a camp to feed the drain. When in doubt, E-slow and leave — level 6 pays better than this fight ever will. |
| Level 3 Route | Full Drain Kit | Full kit settles your clear into one of the healthiest in the game: fear the camp, silence the cluster with Reap (E), and drain the remainder. Your gank is modest but real — an unseen Q from brush is a 1.5-plus-second fear. Mostly, level 3 means your jungle is now expensive to visit. |
| Levels 4-5 Macro | Effigy Vision Net | Levels 4-5 you farm toward 6 while your effigies quietly win the information war. Seed river entrances and Nunu & Willump's invade paths — every effigy that sweeps a ward or fakes your presence buys a free objective later. Resist skirmishing; your entire kit is a loan against Crowstorm. |
| Level 6 Breakpoint | Crowstorm | Crowstorm (R) from fog is the single highest-damage teamfight entrance in the game, and your Q fear doubles on unseen targets. Channel behind walls your effigies cleared of wards and arrive as a natural disaster. Every objective contest from here starts with the question of where you are — and they never know. |
| First Item Spike | Zhonya's / Liandry's | Your first item arms the post-R survival plan: storm in, fear the cluster, and hourglass through the panic while the crows finish. Drag fights toward fog where your channel hides. Nunu & Willump's tempo game stops mattering when one flank ult equals four kills. |
| 2+ Items Scaling | One-Shot Flanker | Late game you are a win condition in a trench coat: one unseen R at Baron or Elder ends the game on the spot. Spend the mid game banking effigy vision control around pit flanks. Patience is the build — the fight will come to your fog eventually. |
Start with W on whichever buff your lanes leash and plant an effigy at the river entrance first. Track Nunu & Willump's start side and seed your defensive effigies on their likeliest invade path before minute two.
