Why this duo works

Nunu's Biggest Snowball Ever! (W) gives the duo a long-range knock-up to start a fight, and Thresh can extend that opening with Death Sentence (Q), Flay (E), or The Box (R). Thresh's lantern also gives Nunu a fast route into river and objective fights.

Playing the duo

Use Nunu's Biggest Snowball Ever! (W) to force a dodge or knock-up, then layer Thresh's crowd control as Nunu finishes with Snowball Barrage (E); save the rest of the chain to keep the target locked down.

Biggest Snowball Ever! (W) knocks enemies up and Snowball Barrage (E) can root them, giving Thresh time to follow with Death Sentence (Q), Flay (E), or The Box (R).

How to play as Nunu & Willump

When Thresh throws Dark Passage (W) from river toward a nearby objective fight, click it to dash to him and arrive with its shield instead of taking the longer route around.
