Who Wins
- You dominate pre-6 through superior trading power and can often solo kill with ignite if Nasus mispositions.
- Post-6 becomes more skill-dependent as his R makes him tankier, but you still win if you can land E and get 5 stacks before he can disengage or if you have item advantages.
How to Trade
- Look to E-W-Q combo when he goes for Q stacks on minions, as this guarantees your Q outer ring and applies multiple passive stacks.
- Auto-attack between abilities to maximize passive stacks, and save W to prevent his escape after committing to trades.
Wave Control
- Push waves early to deny his Q stacking and force him to farm under tower where he's more vulnerable to ganks.
- Maintain pressure by keeping waves pushed while looking for dive opportunities with your jungler when he's low.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste E on minions or when he's too far away, as this removes your primary engage tool and lets him farm safely.
- Avoid trading when you're low on mana, as you need your full combo available to threaten lethal damage and maintain lane pressure.
