Who Wins
- You dominate levels 1-3 with your Q combo having much higher base damage than anything Nasus can offer in return.
- You lose the 1v1 at level 6 if Nasus is healthy, as his ultimate's damage reduction and lifesteal make him surprisingly tanky while his Q damage becomes threatening.
How to Trade
- Your optimal trading pattern is to land Q1 or Q2 on Nasus, then immediately disengage before he can Wither you and run you down.
- Use your Q abilities to poke him down consistently while staying mobile, never committing to extended trades unless you can guarantee a kill.
Wave Control
- Keep the wave in the middle or slightly pushed to maintain your mobility advantage and prevent Nasus from freezing safely.
- Avoid hard shoving unless you're backing, as this gives Nasus free farm under tower where he's relatively safe.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste your Q combo on minions when Nasus is in range to punish you during the cooldown window.
- Never underestimate his level 6+ all-in potential if he's healthy, as many Aatrox players get overconfident and die to his surprising burst damage with ultimate active.
