Tips Against Nasus in Top Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors

Wafflerush says “Definitely take Phase Rush here against the ole thwack dog. Most Nasus players will run Fleet Footwork for the additional sustain and move speed, so his main goal is to avoid fighting you and stack. When Phase Rush is ready you can take a short trade against him and run. He will likely attempt to wither you and if Phase Rush is not up, he will turn that trade upside down for you. An early bramble vest is recommended.”

RAVYFY says “wither is a 99% slow. you must kill him 3 times before level 6 or you lose forever.”

TheMild1 says “Very annoying matchup. Hard to punish his weak early game with all the healing he gets. Swifties for his W slow. You can either freeze and look for damage or kill with your jungler, or push him for plates and proxy. Don´t need to kill him to get a lead. Plates and perfect farm are what you are aiming for.”

Glenn Silver says “Most people would say this is an easy matchup, I'd disagree. A good Nasus will just stack with what he gets and max out W. After he maxed out W, he can secure way more stacks and will get dangerous. Build slow resistance.”

Dragonlord1022 says “Conqueror with Legend: Haste Biscuit Delivery Adaptive and Tenacity D Blade → Swifties → Black Cleaver (Tri first if you're far ahead) - Play very good wave management early and you can usually bully your way into an early lead - Be that off CS, plates, or kills, all that matters is that you get ahead in gold early and Nasus is denied a reasonable amount of CS. - After 6, Nasus is a huge threat if he has ult - Baiting out his ult in a position where you won't be punished too hard is a great way to make him useless for the next two minutes - Lane assign away from the Nasus if possible in the mid game, he will start to win every trade in mid/late or if he got ahead early. - On items - Resistances aren't great vs Nasus and attack speed is heavily reduced by his W - Ideally in the mid to late stages of the game you won't have to side vs Nasus, but if you do, and you think you can kill him, haste is a solid way to go - Black Cleaver and Spear of Shojin are good options for fighting Nasus with mega - Swifties over Plated Steelcaps to help with running away”

DemicleasTTV says “MAX Q WEIRD MATCHUP, you need to deny him cs, and kill him early if possible. THIS MATCHUP IS LOST ON SIDELANE, DO NOT TRY IT. You need to pressure him hard early and try to not let him back without losing CS. Better if you can freeze, SWIFTIES rush is decent here, anti heal is also decent. I PICK THIS AS MUNDO COUNTER. DODGE IF SCARED”

Saneryus says “This is a very boring M.U. You basically can never kill him in lane nor should he be able to kill you if you go what the nasus runes and summoners. Against nasus, Start DBlade and get early priority to shove cannon wave. Afterwards, hold the wave as close to your side until 6. Once 6, your trading is only Auto > E and back off for 4 seconds before you can trade again. You need to have your Phase Rush ready whenever he withers you so you can run away. Phase rush proc : Q > Auto > E If he also takes phase rush and presses wither on you, you'll still be fine. If he takes ghost and decides to ghost on top of you as well, you have to ghost as well to trade. He will never be able to catch up to you if you do this. You'll also have clense just incase. The only downside is he can wither you under turret and take a few platings for free. On top of that, you can opt to build either Verdant barrier after nashors. Upgrade into banshees after DnD. The reason I recommend going banshees is because it has a much lower cool down than QSS (90 seconds) than verdant's (60) and banshee's (40). - Phase Rush | Double Adaptive / Slow resist shard | I found you don't need the MS shard. - DBlade - ghost/cleanse - Swifty Rush - can go rylais eventually if you need the extra kiting. You will outscale him in teamfights. In 1v1's it's even late game if you build correcty as I stated. ”
PokeRoyal2007 says “Tricky one, try to abuse pre-6 and secure a first kill. If you do so, freeze the wave and zone him so he can´t get stacks. I don´t need to say that you should close the game early, he will outscale you heavily. ”

TENSION019 says “Take Grasp, Doran Shield, Ghost, and Teleport. In the early game, bully Nasus as much as possible and deny him experience if you can. Do not fight him while his ultimate is active, you will not win. Use W to escape instead. In the late game he becomes a huge threat, so make sure to deal with him together with your team.”

zwartebliksem says “Flash + Ignite Keep punishing Nasus, since he cannot play until he has at least 500 stacks. Every time he walks up for cs, try to get a Q onto him and run him down. He will most likely try to disengage with his W, but this costs a lot of mana. Look to freeze your wave and punish him when he walks up. If you are playing against AP Nasus, try to foce an all-in. If you cannot force it, he will simply poke you down.”
