Why these items

Openingsall within the 475 starting gold

  • Doran's RingHealth Potion2

  • 2

    Void Staff2,295gBought early here, because Ice Blast is one big hit and penetration doubles it.

  • 3

    Rabadon's Deathcap3,300gAfter the flat ability power, never before — it multiplies what is already there.

Notes

the author's own words

AP Nunu, played as a bomb. Nunu & Willump E — Ice Blast with six items behind it takes most of a squishy health bar in one cast, and Nunu & Willump Q — Consume means you never lose the lane getting there.

Nunu & Willump R — Absolute Zero is still the reason you get picked — the build does not change what your ultimate is for.
