Who Wins
- You win early trades pre-6 through superior base stats and Q empowered autos, as Nasus lacks sustain and damage early.
- Post-6 you maintain advantage since your R provides guaranteed lockdown while Nasus R only gives him stats without mobility to escape your combo.
How to Trade
- Lead with W for the slow, then land empowered Q autos while he's slowed, saving E for when he tries to disengage or to guarantee the third Q rock throw.
- Your passive stacks make extended trades heavily favor you, so commit fully when you engage rather than poking.
Wave Control
- Push waves early to deny Nasus stacks and force him under tower where he struggles to last hit.
- Maintain pressure by slow pushing into crashes, then look for dives or roams since Nasus can't match your map presence.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't let the lane go even or give Nasus free farming time, as his scaling will eventually outpace your early advantage.
- Avoid using E carelessly for poke since it's your only gap closer and escape tool on a long cooldown.
