This setup is designed to give you a balanced set for you in the jungle for durability,clear speed and counter jungling, taking damage in Butcher will allow you to deal four more damage to minions and monsters. Considering Hunters Machete deals ten true damage plus a increase damage amount by ten percent. This makes it more convenient for in your jungle.

Spirit of the Spectral Wraith-50 Ability Power, 10 Cooldown Reduction, 10 Mana Regeneration. UNIQUE Passive: +20% Spell Vamp. UNIQUE Passive: Butcher: Damage dealt to monsters increased by 25%. UNIQUE Passive: Reduces the cooldown on Summoner Smite by 20%

This item is too good pass up, it works well with all your spells beside your blood boil. There's only a few reason not to build this,it would probably be the intentions you for the game you are in. It could be you have intentions of being more of an aura jungler or even tank for your team. If so i would probably get Will of the Ancients instead if you have an ap and or and top.

Rod of Ages-60 Ability Power, 450 Health, 450 Mana. Passive: Your Champion gains 18 Health, 20 Mana, and 2 Ability Power every 1 min. Bonuses cap at +180 Health, +200 Mana and +20 Ability Power. (Not included in stats) UNIQUE Passive: Valor's Reward: On leveling up, restores 150 Health and 200 Mana over 8 seconds.

Nunu has one of the highest base healths in the game with Rod of Ages you will easily have around 3k health. It scales well with you in health,mana and ability power. While it is expensive and it sometimes may take awhile to complete it. If im having alot trouble during a game as nunu i will not build this but rather look for another optional item that will provide me a bit durability. By the way this is an item i personally like on nunu.

Liandry's Torment-50 Ability Power, 300 Health. UNIQUE Passive: Eyes of Pain: +15 Magic Penetration. UNIQUE Passive: Dealing spell damage burns enemies for 6% of their current Health as magic damage over 3 seconds, dealing 1% of their current Health as magic damage every .5 seconds. If their movement is impaired, they take double damage from this effect. 100 max damage per second vs monsters.

Your Ice Blast and Absolute Zero applies slows so taking this item increases your damage dealt to the targets who you Ice Blast. Its a nice buy but i would buy it if my team needed more damage output beside themselves.

Randuin's Omen-70 Armor, 500 Health. UNIQUE Passive: Cold Steel: If you are hit by a basic attack, you slow the attacker's Attack Speed by 15% and their Movement Speed by 10% for 1.5 seconds. UNIQUE Active: Slows the Movement Speed of nearby enemy units by 35% for 2 seconds + 1 second for every 100 Armor and Magic Resistance you have (500 range). 60 second cooldown.

I generally get this if they have champions like Vayne or a melee carry if they begin to hit hard. I find this item useful since if they do begin attacking me there movement speed are slowed by ten percent and attack speed slowed by 15 percent. This is a good item but kinda selfish too, if you want to be more of a team player you can get Frozen Heart or just get both if you're wealthy enough.

Frozen Heart-95 Armor, 20 Cooldown Reduction, 400 Mana. UNIQUE Passive: Reduces the attack speed of nearby enemies by 20% (1000 range).

More of the team player version of omen. It does not provide any health but it does provide 95 armor, an aoe attack speed debuff,20% cooldown reduction. I usually get this if we truly need it while the cdr helps Nunu i wouldn't put it on my core list because truly it is a situational item.

Thornmail-100 Armor. UNIQUE Passive: On being hit by standard attacks, returns 30% of damage taken before armor as magic damage. A minimum of 15 damage must be received.

If i get this it probably means they got hard hitting ad carries and casters. It provides a good amount of armor and returns 30 percent damage you take from them. This is an awesome item but only built it if they got hard hitting carries. Its a great inexpensive item but you usually see people buy this late game. If your getting this early then the physical carries on there team must of got snow balled way to early!

Sunfire Aegis-A good item but i would say this is more for lane Nunu but i would get it later in the game for more aoe damage.

Ruby Sightstone-360 Health. UNIQUE Passive: Ward Refresh - Starts with 5 charges and refills each time you visit the shop. UNIQUE Active: Ghost Ward - Consumes a charge to place an invisible Sight Ward that reveals the surrounding area for 3 minutes. You may have a maximum of 3 wards placed from this item at once. 1 second cooldown.

You should ward deep in the enemy jungle and even ward for some of your laner's if needed. Getting this will provide your team with good map coverage this usually allows your laners to play more passive/aggressive.

Shurelya's Battlesong-250 Health, 10 Health Regeneration, 10 Mana Regeneration. Passive: +10% Cooldown Reduction. UNIQUE Active: Nearby allies gain 40% Movement Speed for 3 seconds (600 range). 60 second cooldown.

I use to get this often in season 2, but nowadays mainly supports build this as their secondary item after Ruby sight stone. If your team has a hard time getting to those slippery targets or escaping from the enemy team in tight situations then its a great choice to pick this up if your support doesn't already have this,

Zeke's Herald- 20 Cooldown Reduction, 250 Health. UNIQUE Aura: Nearby allied champions gain +20 Attack Damage and +10% Lifesteal.

I generally get this if i decide to be more aura jungler and if my team is heavy in psychical damage. Its a good item but quite expensive so get it later in the game do not try to rush it unless your AD comrades are snowballing.

Locket of the Iron Solari-35 Armor, 10 Cooldown Reduction, 300 Health, 10 Health Regeneration. UNIQUE Active: Shield yourself and nearby allied champions for 5 seconds, absorbing up to 50 (+10 per level) damage . 60 second cooldown.

Its a good buy and quite cheap i don't mind getting it if i need a bit more durability. It provides a good amount of health for its inexpensive cost. It has a great active its sorta like a mini barrier for your allies. Its a great item to make those close saves and soak up damage.

Will of the Ancients-50 Ability Power. UNIQUE Aura: Gives nearby allied champions +30 Ability Power and 20% Spell Vamp.

Get this only if you have more ap on your team. It gives your team an extra 30 ability power and 20% spell vamp so it boost your team in power and gives sustain. While i usually get Spirit of the spectracal wraith over this. Will of the Ancients is a non selfish version of spirit of the spectracal wraith. Its a great item but i would only get it to boost my team's power level assuming if most of us are mainly magic damage.

Twin Shadows-40 Ability Power, 40 Magic Resistance, 6 Movement Speed Multiplier. UNIQUE Active: Hunt - Summons up to 2 invulnerable ghosts for 6 seconds to seek the two nearest enemy champions. If they touch an enemy champion, they slow his Movement Speed by 40% and reveal him for 2.5 seconds. 120 second cooldown.

A very inexpensive item that gives good amount magic resist and ability power considering its cost. I consider this item more a utility support item since its active but i usually tend to get this if i have enough gold to buy it after i have my finished core items. The active is really good and strengthens your ganking don't be afraid to build it early if you decide to get kage pick first for a gold per time Kage's Lucky Pick.

Runic Bulwark-20 Armor, 300 Health, 30 Magic Resistance. UNIQUE Aura: Legion: Nearby allies gain 10 armor, 25 magic resist and 10 health regen. UNIQUE Aura: Grants an additional 5 Armor, 12.5 Magic Resist, and 5 Health regen per 5 to nearby minions.

A great item to get to increase your teams armor and magic resist. I generally get this if we need the extra durability and if they have a good amount of area of effect damage. Its a great item and you should never considered it a bad item to get on your self. Make sure your support,top laner or your self get this item.

Athene's Unholy Grail- 60 Ability Power, 20 Cooldown Reduction, 40 Magic Resistance, 15 Mana Regeneration. UNIQUE Passive: Restores 12% of your maximum Mana on kill or assist. UNIQUE Passive: Mana Font: Increases your Mana Regeneration by 1% per 1% Mana you are missing (Does not stack with Chalice of Harmony).

this is more for lane Nunu to be honest i would get Abyssal Mask. While it provides good stats i would only get this if i had the exact gold amount as you won't run out of mana as much once you have Rod of Ages. As it does provide 40 magic resist you can get the same amount from Twin Shadows which is much cheaper and provides more utility for your team and even 40 ability power.

Rabadon's Deathcap-120 Ability Power. UNIQUE Passive: Increases Ability Power by 30%.

When i have those stomp games i buy this. It boost your ability power by 120 and increases your current ability power by 30%. If your to afford after a couple trips back then go ahead. It will increase the damage of your ganks and increase your snowball lead.

Void Staff-70 Ability Power. UNIQUE Passive: +35% Magic Penetration.

If you're stacking in ap then it isn't a bad buy. But buying it would probably be after i buy Liandry's Torment synergizes with his spells so well.

Iceborn Gauntlet-30 Ability Power, 70 Armor, 10 Cooldown Reduction, 500 Mana. UNIQUE Passive: Spellblade: After using an ability, your next basic attack deals bonus physical damage equal to 125% of your base attack damage to surrounding enemies and creates a field for 2 seconds that slows enemies inside by 30% (2 second cooldown).

If you want some durability,cdr and ap then pick this item up, its a great item if you can afford it. I usually get this if i want more durability but still want ability power. It's kinda like a frozen mallet with its unique passive for ap bruisers. Its a good buy but i would probably put this in my core if i was lane nunu.

Mejai's Soulstealer-20 Ability Power. UNIQUE Passive: Your champion gains 8 Ability Power per stack, receiving 2 stacks for a kill or 1 stack for an assist. This effect can stack 20 times; you lose a third of your stacks if you die. At 20 stacks (160 ability power), your champion gains 15% Cooldown Reduction.

Nunu can snowball by getting kills or assist. I usually snowball in assist when i play nunu. But its a bold statement when you Mejai's Soulstealer while this item isn't really expensive item each time you die you lose stacks. If you're sure you won't die and your snowballing pick this up early to strengthen your dominance

Liandry's Torment-50 Ability Power, 300 Health. UNIQUE Passive: Eyes of Pain: +15 Magic Penetration. UNIQUE Passive: Dealing spell damage burns enemies for 6% of their current Health as magic damage over 3 seconds, dealing 1% of their current Health as magic damage every .5 seconds. If their movement is impaired, they take double damage from this effect. 100 max damage per second vs monsters.

Your Ice Blast and Absolute Zero applies slows so taking this item increases your damage dealt to the targets who you Ice Blast. Its a nice buy but i would buy it if my team needed more damage output beside themselves.

Abyssal Mask-70 Ability Power, 45 Magic Resistance. UNIQUE Aura: Reduces the Magic Resist of nearby enemy champions by 20. Range: 700

This item i would probably get late game if they were ap heavy. It lowers their magic resist by 20 increasing your team's damage. Its a great buy but usually if you have an ap mid or top they would build this item if not i will build it.

-Newb proof champion can cancel your Crescent Sweep with his and Three Talon Strike and has good dueling with crowd control. You can counter jungle him though he isn't fast during his first clear and spends much more time trying to gank lanes. Ward your allied lanes early and spend your time in his jungle when he is camping a warded lane.


-Just too much crowd control on this guy, if the alistar player is good you'll probably never good a full ultimate. But if you see this Alistar in the jungle its pretty easy to counter jungle him hes pretty slow due to the constant nerfs they gave him. You'll have killing potential on him too! Give that alistar hell ;)!

Cho'Gath- Hes a great disrupter your probably only gonna get defensive ultimates on him. Hes quite fast at jungling. So only counter jungle him when you have vision of him.

-One of the best counter junglers beside Nunu she is extremely mobile. She can kill you its best if you stay out of her way. Only counter jungle her if you know exactly where she is. One of her weak points are that she is weak at ganking pre six. Try to take advantage of that by putting pressure on the map early and counter ganking her!

- He is able to counter jungle quite well too and kill as well! With his Taste Their Fear he can do bonus damage to you if you're isolated. If best you try not to duel him and if he counter jungling you get your team to help you deal with him.

- Eh pretty much similar to Kha'zix at later levels you can deal with him though.

- Just another assassin like Kha'zix he has killing potential on you but at early levelings during his clears he will be relatively low unless he has plans on counter jungling you after one of his buffs. He isn't strong at ganking pre six and truly shines mid to late game. Armor is a good item to buy against him because he is mainly psychically damage, make sure you get a item like Runic Bulwark or something to help you deal with him.

- Not the best of counter junglers but she is quite fast if you get in her way she can kill you. Its best if you counter jungler her when you know where she is.

- Hes like you(counter jungling and sustain) but with better dueling just stay out of his way and only counter him when the opportunity arises.

- Hes like shyvana only counter him when the opportunity arises.

- Just don't even think about counter jungling him alone. Ward your jungle and passageways to try to deny him out of any early ganks thats where he shines. If you successfully do this it should be a 4v5 since shaco utility falls off late game in team fights.

- Hes pretty easy to counter jungle him. He shines once he hits six but you you can delay that by taking his buffs and camps. He's pretty durable so your gonna have to think of some creative ways to kill him.
His clear time pretty good but it will leave him on a bit of low health. Counter jungling him isn't too hard and you should be able to kill him if he decides to 1v1 you. But he has a lot of cc that can cancel your ultimate.

- His clear speed is pretty good due to buffs on his Titan's Wrath but you can clear faster and counter jungle him quite well. He probably be hard to kill but if you get the chance to kill him in his jungle don't let it walk away. Btw he has massive cc so you may not get a lot of good ultimates when he is around.

- Similar to Nautilus he isn't bad in the jungle and has a decent clear speed. Doesn't have any cc that cancels your ultimate. Usually takes Ghost so you have potential of killing him pre six.

- Can snowball relatively easy make sure you don't make any mistakes around him once he gets Spirit of the Elder Lizard he has killing potential on you.

- Usually plays the role of the tank for the team but can build damage and be a threat. If he does so he has great killing potential on you,though you're still able to counter him try to deny early ganks by warding near wraiths and for your top lane.

- Not a fast jungler but he gets the job done and makes up for it with his awesome ganks. Counter jungling him is no problem he just has a lot of cc and can stop your ultimate with his Arcane Smash.

- Hes on the same boat with zed. Counter jungling him isn't much of a problem just don't do anything stupid that will allow him to snowball.

- Hes a slow jungler, counter jungling him is easy. But once he hits six ( Stand United) assisting lanes becomes easier for him. Try to deny major sources of exp in his jungle.

Fiddlestick-His ganking excels once he hits six. He is easy to counter jungle but he has good sustain and can cancel your ult with his silence and fear. I recommend to get Mercury's Treads to reduce the fear time of his Terrify.

- Similar to Fiddlesticks but he can gank once he hits three. He doesn't have sustain however compared to fiddlesticks so killing him isn't hard. Mercury's Treads are good item to get if he keeps on Puncturing Taunt you.

- A pretty fast jungler she can kill you too but she isn't a strong counter jungler. Vision Wards reveal her if she is near an area. Try to work with your team and try to deny her of any early ganks because thats how she excels the most.

-His clear time is pretty fast he can kill you if he is going AP Amumu at later levels. But counter jungling him isn't a problem as you are faster. Make sure whatever side you are on, try to work with your laner(s) by denying him blue buffs early as he is a mana dependent jungler which this can affect his farming and ganking.
