Who Wins

  • You win trades pre-6 through your W-E combo that applies Brittle and knocks up Nasus, forcing favorable exchanges while he's trying to stack Q.
  • Post-6 you maintain advantage since your R provides additional engage tools and knockup chains while Nasus still needs time to scale his damage.

How to Trade

  • Your optimal trading pattern is W to apply Brittle at the end of the channel (using Unstoppable to avoid his W slow), then immediately E forward to knock him up and proc the Brittle damage.
  • Follow up with Q placement and auto attacks while he's CC'd, then disengage before his Q cooldown comes back up.

Wave Control

  • Push early waves to establish priority and deny Nasus easy stacking, using your Q-E combo to clear minions efficiently.
  • After level 6, maintain slow pushes to build up minion waves that force Nasus to choose between stacking Q and losing CS to tower.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't waste your W channel by using it when Nasus can easily walk away without taking the Brittle application at the end.
  • Avoid extended trades after your combo is down since Nasus can out-sustain you with his passive lifesteal and potentially land multiple Q stacks.
