Nasus Mid and Late Game
What Nasus does better or worse than other champions after laning, from this patch's ranked games — percentiles where 100 is the highest of every champion.
Play to these strengths
- Side-lane pressure pays: Nasus rates 94/100 for damage to buildings. Push a side wave while the team holds mid.
- Nasus soaks damage well (percentile 94): stand between the enemy and your carries.
- Nasus heals a lot (percentile 88): extended fights and sieges favor Nasus.
- Play around dragons, Grubs and Baron — Nasus rates 73/100 for objective control.
- Nasus wins 1.6 points more in long games than short ones: avoid coin-flip fights early and let the game go long.
Mistakes to avoid
- Vision is a weak spot (9/100): buy Control Wards and sweep before you face-check.
Playing Nasus
- Paying attention to last hitting with Siphoning Strike will have a large impact at the end of a game.
- If you're solo, Spirit Fire is a great way to farm a lane. It can be bad if you're in a lane with 2 and you push too far. Find the right balance between Siphoning Strike last hits and AoE farming.
- If you have low defenses, people will focus you down even during your ultimate. Try buying some survivability items even in your DPS builds.
Playing Against Nasus
- While transformed by his ultimate, Nasus is stronger than most champions in the League. Engage him only if you have a clear advantage.
- Max rank Wither is a very effective counter to Attack Damage characters, so try to avoid getting caught alone by it.
- Nasus is prone to being kited. Try not to engage him at full Health.
