Learn how to Nasus counter with these essential tips.
Tags:
All
Invade Nasus's jungle early and steal his camps — he is extremely weak before getting Q stacks and losing camps directly delays his scaling.
Basic Lane Phase
Force objectives when Nasus is split pushing — use your numerical advantage to secure Baron or inhibitors while monitoring his tower progress.
Late Game Team Fight
Disengage when Nasus activates his ultimate — for 15 seconds he gains bonus health, resistances, and his Q cooldown is halved, making him much stronger.
Basic Skirmish Team Fight
Kite Nasus after he uses his W (Wither) — this medium-range slow is his only way to catch targets, making him vulnerable when it's on cooldown.
Skirmish Late Game
Apply hard CC to Nasus in team fights — preventing him from reaching your carries negates his Q stacks and single-target damage.
Team Fight Late Game
Counter-gank when Nasus attempts to gank a lane — once he commits with his W, he has limited escape options, making him vulnerable to collapse.
Advanced Lane Phase Skirmish
Secure early dragons before Nasus reaches level 6 — he struggles to contest objectives without his ultimate and sufficient Q stacks.
Lane Phase Skirmish
Never duel Nasus after 15 minutes — his stacked Q and inherent life steal make him nearly unbeatable in prolonged 1v1 fights.
Basic Late Game Skirmish
Place Control Wards in Nasus's jungle to track his farming pattern — knowing his location allows your team to make plays on the opposite side of the map.
