Key Insights

  • During
    R
    , Nasus gains bonus Armor and MR and
    Q
    's cooldown is halved.
  • Enemies in
    E
    's AoE also have their Armor reduced.
  • Q
     resets Nasus's auto attack.
  • When
    Q
     kills a unit, Nasus gains 3 stacks, increased to 12 for champions and large minions/monsters. 1 stack = +1 damage on
    Q
    .

Strengths

  • Can survive and turn ganks/skirmishes with
    R
    's effects.
  • Excels with items that enhance his tankiness, sustain, and split-pushing capabilities.
  • W
     usually guarantees a successful gank.
  • The more
    Q
     stacks he has, the more dominant he is in a side lane.

Weaknesses

  • Completely immobile, leaving him vulnerable to ganks.
  • Has a weaker early game, and relies too much on stacking
    Q
     to be effective.
  • R
     has a longer cooldown of 120 seconds at all ranks. Once used, he strength diminishes in fights.
  • Struggles against most crowd control.
