How to win the jungle race as Nunu & Willump against Evelynn · Matchup data reviewed on patch 26.15
Read from Nunu & Willump's seat: the race windows this plan plays for against Evelynn.
| Stage | Read | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 Clear | Nunu & Willump Favoured | Consume chunks monsters, not champions — clear safe and protect objectives. The margin is thin: pre-stealth Evelynn is the weakest level-1 champion in the jungle, and one slow camp on your side hands the window straight back, so keep the trade short. Invade her relentlessly before six — she cannot contest and loses every straight fight. |
| Level 2 Skirmish | Nunu & Willump Favoured | The snowball is gank pressure, not duel pressure; keep avoiding the 1v1. Pre-stealth Evelynn is the weakest level-1 champion in the jungle, so this is an edge and not a blowout — take the level-2 skirmish only with the HP and cooldown lead. |
| Level 3 Route | Nunu & Willump Favoured | You still don't win duels — convert W ganks and smite fights instead, but pre-stealth Evelynn is the weakest level-1 champion in the jungle. You still win the straight exchange at the opening scuttle; keep it short, keep it decisive, and keep the scuttle line yours. |
| Levels 4-5 Macro | Respect Evelynn — Path Opposite | Levels 4-5 still belong to Evelynn in a straight fight — farm the opposite side, answer their ganks cross-map, and wait for your spike. |
| Level 6 Breakpoint | Danger — Evelynn's R | Hard breakpoint loss for Nunu & Willump: from six on she is invisible — every face-check is a charm into Last Caress, and your six does not bridge the gap. Buy sweepers, hug control wards, and never path alone through her quadrant. Treat every post-6 river fight as theirs until your items arrive. |
| First Item Spike | Liandry's Spike | Completing Liandry's Torment puts a max-health burn on every Consume (Q), Biggest Snowball Ever! (W) and Snowball Barrage (E) hit, so camps and waves melt and brawlers who try to out-sustain you lose a chunk of health every trade. Evelynn's first item plus camouflage is the spike that flips the matchup — the charm rotation starts killing outright. |
| 2+ Items Scaling | Danger — Evelynn Outscales | Every minute past 25 tilts toward Evelynn — she is invisible and lethal, and every unswept corridor is a charm into a delete. Force your win condition early or watch it slip away slowly. |
Start your clear at the Red or Blue Buff camp utilizing your Consume true damage to maximize early clear speed without needing a heavy leash. Evelynn clears slowly and unhealthily before six, so her early pathing is usually the safest, longest route she can take.
