How to win the jungle race as Lillia against Nunu & Willump · Matchup data reviewed on patch 26.15
Read from Lillia's seat: the race windows this plan plays for against Nunu & Willump.
| Stage | Read | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 Clear | Lillia Favoured | The Blooming Blows true-damage edge clears fast — kite, don't brawl, but Consume chunks monsters, not champions. You still win the straight exchange at the first buff; keep it short, keep it decisive, and keep the scuttle line yours. |
| Level 2 Skirmish | Lillia Favoured | Watch Out! Eep! center-hits plus passive speed kite melee kits apart. Nunu & Willump can make it awkward — the Biggest Snowball Ever arrives as a knock-up gank, and Consume cheats every smite fight — but not with one camp still up on both sides. Trade, then walk away with the second buff and the tempo that comes with it. |
| Level 3 Route | Lillia Favoured | Dream-dust uptime plus W nukes out-pace anything without a dash. The margin is thin: Consume chunks monsters, not champions, and one slow camp on your side hands the window straight back, so keep the trade short. Never let an objective reach smite range with him alive nearby — he duels poorly otherwise. |
| Levels 4-5 Macro | Lillia Favoured — Take Duels | Through levels 4-5 you remain the stronger duelist — keep taking short, decisive trades vs Nunu & Willump, but only with the HP and cooldown lead. |
| Level 6 Breakpoint | Lilting Lullaby Favoured | Lilting Lullaby sleeps the whole skirmish — your dream-dust damage decides it. A fog-channeled Absolute Zero zones the entire pit, so the margin is real but narrow: fight when your ultimate is up and Absolute Zero is the one on cooldown. |
| First Item Spike | Liandry's Spike | Liandry's turns your dust and burn into real damage, and your kite-duel into a genuine threat even against bruisers. Your clear becomes self-sustaining health-wise and absurd tempo-wise. Force Nunu & Willump to contest you at camps where your orbit has room, and melt them when they try. Nunu & Willump's first item mostly buys durability and cooldowns, so his spike is objective control rather than damage. |
| 2+ Items Scaling | Lillia Favoured — Wins Late | Nunu & Willump falls off relative to you — from two items on you win the raw stat check, even though he is an objective thief and a channel to interrupt, not a duel to take. Drag the game long and force the 1v1s. |
Start the buff that lets you chain into raptors early — your AoE Q wants the chaos camps. Nunu & Willump's start side matters little; your clear wins the race regardless, so path for your own efficiency. Nunu & Willump clears fast with Consume and never drops below half health, so his early map presence is constant.
