Nasus vs Galio Matchup Summary

733Galio
Galio heavily out-damages Nasus by 97 DMG/min, dominating both short trades and all-in fights. Nasus should avoid extended combat and instead focus on burst trade patterns — short engages followed by immediate disengagement — to avoid letting Galio's sustained damage advantage take over.

Utility
0.6Nasus
