Who Wins
- You dominate early trades pre-6 with your superior base damages and Q poke, but lose the 1v1 post-6 once Nasus gets R and significant Q stacks.
- Your window to establish a meaningful lead is primarily levels 3-5 before his sustain becomes overwhelming.
How to Trade
- Use E to poke and slow Nasus, then follow up with charged Q when he's slowed and can't easily escape the zone.
- Focus on short, efficient trades rather than extended fights where his sustain advantage becomes apparent.
Wave Control
- Push waves aggressively early to deny Nasus Q stacks and create opportunities to poke him under tower with E.
- Look for roam timings after shoving to impact other lanes, as staying in lane too long allows Nasus to scale for free.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't let the lane freeze in Nasus's favor or allow him to free-farm without harassment.
- Avoid extended trades post-6 without a significant health advantage, as his R and lifesteal will turn fights around even from losing positions.
