Nunu & Willump is one of the beginner-friendly junglers. It has a simple gameplay that can help new players learn the game faster. On top of that, he costs merely 450 BE, making him one of the most affordable champions in the whole game.
However, Nunu’s appearance has left a lot to be desired. To get over this hurdle, you will have to purchase a new skin. We compiled a list of the best Nunu skins to make that easier for you. The list has only skins that are currently available in the shop and does not include his legacy skins.

6. Grungy Nunu & Willump – Best Budget Skin
On the first look, this skin looks amazing. The splash art is arguably the cutest out of all Nunu’s skins. Sadly, that’s not the case for the in-game content. Nunu is a kid wearing a dinosaur onesie while riding his friend Willump, a not-so-friendly yeti.
I recommend this skin only to players who love its appearance. There are no new animations or sound effects, and it is also quite pricey. It costs 750 RP.
5. Demolisher Nunu & Willump
In complete contrast to the Grungy Nunu & Willump, Demolisher Nunu is anything but cute. The pair are wearing armor which looks extremely scary. However, Nunu’s high-pitched voice adds some color to it.
But that’s not all. Riot took a step forward and updated some of his animations too. The snowball is a giant mace. You can have this skin for only 975 RP. It’s a decent price for mediocre skin.

4. Papercraft Nunu & Willump
In an alternate universe, Nunu is placed in a world made entirely out of paper. With his buddy Willump nowhere to be found, he had to make him. He took a square out of the wall and folded it to create Willump.
When I first saw the skin, I thought it was a part of the Lunar Revel line due to the bright yellow colors. During the recall, Nunu folds a paper into a bird which takes the duo back to the base. Paper is flying everywhere when using abilities and gives the skin a prestigious feeling. If that’s not enough to impress, then this next fact surely will. When using the ability Biggest Snowball Ever! you are making a paper ball.
3. Nunu & Willump Bot
It’s rare for a legendary skin to be placed this low in our tier lists. I guess that’s what happens when the champion is 13 years old. And don’t get me wrong. This skin has plenty of features that we will be discussing more in-depth. However, for the price of 1820 RP, it’s not an economical purchase.
Willump is a yellow arcade machine with a charger as his tail. On top of him is Nunu in futuristic apparel holding onto the antennas. Now onto the updated animations.
Willump transforms into a vehicle for a brief period after completing a recall. Once he runs out of gas (the speed buff wears off), he becomes a robot again. There is even a cool dance animation that shows a disco ball and a podium underneath Willump.
When channeling his ultimate ability Absolute Zero, time is left until the detonation is shown on Willumps “screen”. My favorite part of this skin is the updated sound effects.
2. Space Groove Nunu & Willump – Editors Pick
Before meeting Nunu, Willump was manipulated by Lissandra. The two met during the siege of Normal World and have been exploring space together since. The skin is easily recognizable by the bright colors of both characters. This is different from the other space-themed skins, especially the Dark Star line which primarily uses dark purple color.
Nunu & Willump are dancing and sharing good vibes while recalling. They always keep a happy face, even when blasting their opponents. Perhaps the coolest animation of this skin is the disco ball that you can roll when using the “W” ability. The opponents who have been hit by Snowball Barrage have cute blue emojis which disappear once they get rooted.
Space Groove Nunu & Willump costs 1350 RP and is my favorite.

1. Nunu & Beelump – Best Overall
Finally, Nunu & Beelump is the best overall Nunu skin available in the game. It is the perfect combination of features and the price. It is currently valued at 1350 RP in the store.
Located in the bee world, Nunu is wearing a bee outfit with adorable bee antennas on his head. On the other hand, Willump is a huge, and frankly quite terrifying bee. Not much work was put into developing his face so it can look out of place sometimes. However, an amazing detail is the two wings on his back.
When using this skin you will be rolling a huge ball of honey with a bee hive located in the middle of it. During the recall, the two are seen chilling on the flowers before quickly returning to the base. When hit by Snowball Barrage, opponents get honey above them which quickly turns into real honey underneath them once they get rooted. Lastly, when using absolute focus, a bee hive can be seen on the ground with plenty of bees flying around.
Conclusion
There are plenty of Nunu skins and there is something for everyone. Our lists are made as objective as we believe they can be, but it’s perfectly normal if you don’t agree with our list. My personal favorite is Space Groove Nunu & Willump, but I have to say that the best Nunu skin is Nunu & Beelump.
