Scuttle Contest

At level 3, you win the scuttle fight against Nunu due to your superior sustained damage and self-healing through your passive, which lets you outlast his W burst in a short skirmish; keep auto-attacking through his W and don't back off, as his W damage is front-loaded and you recover faster.
From level 6, you win 1v1 if you engage with E to close the gap before he can land a full-channel W, then use Q to reset your auto-attack pattern and sustain through his damage with your passive healing while staying on top of him to prevent him from walking out of your range.

Nunu typically starts Red Buff side (if red side) or Blue Buff side (if blue side) and looks to rush scuttle at level 3 with his W, often taking the fastest 3-camp clear possible; he prioritizes early scuttle control and river presence over deep farming.
He will frequently look for early ganks post-scuttle using his E slow to set up kills, and may attempt to counter-jungle your buffs if he identifies you clearing on the opposite side of the map.

You should invade Nunu at his second buff camp (around 3:15–3:30) if you know his starting side, because his clear speed is high but his 1v1 dueling without W available is weak; catching him between camps without W up is your best window.
Invading his blue buff side after he's taken red (or vice versa) forces a fight where you have the damage advantage, but avoid invading when his W is up as the damage and slow can turn the fight against you even at early levels.

Do not let Nunu freely channel his W on you during extended fights — it deals massive damage over its duration and he can walk you into walls or terrain to maximize it; always position away from walls when fighting him.
Avoid chasing him into deep river or jungle when his R is available, as his R combined with W can stall long enough for his team to collapse on you while you're committed to the fight.
