Guide to Synergizing Heimerdinger and Nunu & Willump

Tips for Playing as Heimerdinger with Nunu & Willump

Spreading out Hextech Micro-Rockets leads to more reliable damage and more efficiency against multiple targets, but focusing it creates the biggest impact.

The success of Electron Storm Grenade is very important to Heimerdinger's survival. The slow and stun both are capable of keeping enemies in place long enough to punish them, but it is also the first line of defense against a surprise attack.

Turret placement can be a deciding factor in a battle. Against most enemies turrets are best when they can support each other, but if the enemy has a lot of area of effect damage your turrets can be destroyed quickly. Placing turrets in brush can lead to a surprise attack in your favor.

Advice to Understand How Nunu & Willump Will Play

Consume allows Nunu to stay in a lane against ranged opponents.

You can choose to interrupt Absolute Zero early for partial damage if an opponent is about to run out of range.

It's often beneficial to delay the casting of Absolute Zero until the initial round of disables are used. Try to hang back before rushing into a team fight.
