Who Wins

  • You win pre-6 through levels 1-3 with aggressive trading, but Nasus becomes increasingly difficult to kill as he gains levels and sustain.
  • Post-6, you generally win extended all-ins if you can stick to him, but his W slow and sustain make clean kills challenging without jungle assistance.

How to Trade

  • Jump on him with Q when he goes for CS, auto-W-auto for quick trades, then back off before he can retaliate effectively.
  • Save E for when he tries to trade back or when you're committing to longer fights where his Q damage becomes threatening.

Wave Control

  • Push early waves to deny him stacks and create recall timings, but be prepared to give up wave control mid-game when he becomes too strong to contest.
  • Focus on creating slow pushes that crash when you have kill pressure or want to recall safely.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't let the lane go completely even in CS - you need to build meaningful advantages early before his sustain and scaling make him unkillable.
  • Avoid extended trades where he can land multiple Qs on you, as his sustain will win the war of attrition.
