Learn how to play with Nasus with these essential tips.
Tags:
All
When Nasus reaches level 6, coordinate ganks to his lane. His ultimate provides significant combat power with bonus health, resistances, and halved Q cooldown, making this an excellent time to secure kills and help him stack.
Lane Phase
Nasus is extremely weak during the first 15 minutes. Avoid forcing him to join early skirmishes or objective fights, as he needs to focus on farming Q stacks to become effective later in the game.
Basic Lane Phase
During the late game (after 25 minutes), allow Nasus to split push while your team applies pressure elsewhere on the map. His stacked Q allows him to take towers quickly and often requires multiple enemies to stop him.
Late Game
As a jungler, focus your early ganks on other lanes instead of expecting Nasus to follow up. His early game damage is too low to be effective in ganks, and he benefits more from uninterrupted farming time.
Lane Phase
Pay attention to targets slowed by Nasus's W (Wither) in team fights. This ability can reduce enemy movement speed by up to 95% and attack speed by up to 71%, making affected targets easy to focus down.
Basic Team Fight
When Nasus is split pushing, place control wards in the enemy jungle quadrant nearest to his lane. This vision gives him advance warning of collapses and allows him to continue stacking safely.
Advanced Late Game
If you see the enemy team freezing the lane against Nasus, help break the freeze. Nasus needs to farm safely to stack his Q, and being denied farm early game can significantly delay his power spike.
Basic Lane Phase
Position dive champions on the same side as Nasus in team fights. His W (Wither) creates perfect setups for champions who need to get close to their targets by severely limiting enemy mobility.
Team Fight
Position within Nasus's E (Spirit Fire) area during skirmishes and team fights. This ability reduces enemy armor by up to 50%, amplifying all physical damage your team deals to affected targets.
Team Fight Skirmish
Nasus's greatest strength is his late-game scaling with Q stacks. In games extending beyond 25 minutes, prioritize protecting him during fights as his damage output with stacked Q can one-shot carry champions.
