Who Wins

  • You win most early trades through your full combo and Determination stacking, with level 2-3 being particularly strong when you get W-E access.
  • Post-6, you maintain kill pressure with R burst and your revive passive, but Nasus becomes increasingly tanky and can start winning if you don't maintain your stack advantage.

How to Trade

  • Look for W pulls into E-Q combos to maximize Determination stacking while dealing significant damage.
  • Use your mobility advantage to take favorable trades then back off before Nasus can respond with his W slow and sustained damage.

Wave Control

  • Push aggressively early to deny Nasus Q stacks and look for dives with your R and revive passive as insurance.
  • Maintain pressure by keeping the wave in the middle or on his side, where you can use W to pull him away from his tower safety.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't let the lane stagnate into a farm fest where Nasus can freely stack Q without pressure.
  • Avoid all-ins when you're low on Determination stacks, as your damage output becomes significantly weaker without the passive's AD bonus.
