Guide to Synergizing Vel'Koz and Nunu & Willump

Tips for Playing as Vel'Koz with Nunu & Willump

Be very careful about when to use Life Form Disintegration Ray. Many champions have abilities that can interrupt the spell.

Shooting Plasma Fission diagonally and splitting at maximum range allows you to hit opponents that are out of the range of the initial missile, but is more challenging to pull off.

When laning, use Void Rift to kill minions while building stacks of Organic Deconstruction on your opponent. You can then follow up with your other abilities.

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.
