Juggernaut
Beginner Rule
Pressure Nasus early — every free Siphoning Strike (Q) stack makes him stronger later.
Nasus is a scaling juggernaut who becomes stronger by farming with Siphoning Strike (Q). He wants to survive lane, stack Q damage, and eventually overpower opponents in side lanes. Many beginners fail to pressure Nasus early and allow him to scale freely.
Level 6 – Ultimate dramatically improves dueling.
Sheen/First Item – Q damage increases significantly.
Mid-Late Game – Can dominate side lanes through stacking.
Wither (W) slows
Q stacking
Ultimate power spike
Split pushing
QWhat it does
Strikes dealing damage that permanently gains power when it kills a target.
How to play against
Every minion kill with Q permanently buffs his damage. Zone him off last-hits early. After 250+ stacks his Q is devastating.
WWhat it does
Ages an enemy champion reducing their Move Speed and Attack Speed drastically.
How to play against
Point-and-click. The attack speed reduction is brutal against auto-attack-heavy champions. Tenacity partially reduces the duration.
EWhat it does
Unleashes spirit flame in a zone dealing damage and reducing Armor of enemies inside.
How to play against
His Armor shred enables his Q to hit much harder. Don't fight inside his Spirit Fire.
RWhat it does
Transforms gaining bonus health, extended attack range, AoE damage aura, and enhanced stats.
How to play against
When he ults he becomes a completely different threat. Disengage — fighting him at full stacks during R is near impossible.
W → Walk Up → Q
Core trade pattern.
R → Extended Fight
Maximizes durability and damage.
Stack → Split Push
Applies side-lane pressure.
Soul Eater: he has significant passive lifesteal from attacking. He sustains in lane passively — anti-heal reduces this.
