Who Wins
- You win most early trades through passive procs and Q poke, especially levels 1-3 where Nasus lacks sustain and damage.
- Post-6 you dominate 1v1s with R since you steal his stats and remove his ability to lifesteal off minions, making isolated fights heavily favor you.
How to Trade
- Look for E pulls into passive proc combos, using Q for bonus single-target damage and W to absorb his retaliation damage.
- Extended trades heavily favor you due to passive damage over time and W shield, so don't let him disengage after short Q pokes.
Wave Control
- Maintain aggressive positioning to deny his Q stacks and look for slow pushes into dives when ahead.
- Keep the wave in positions where you can E pull him away from his tower and force extended trades in your passive aura.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't let him free-farm and scale, as a heavily stacked Nasus with items can eventually stat-check you even in Death Realm.
- Avoid using R when he has significant minion waves to lifesteal from nearby, as this reduces your kill pressure significantly.
