Nasus Top matchup tips

  1. Nasus vs Malphite Top - Nasus can sustain through Malphite's Q poke with his passive and safely stack through the lane, while Spirit Fire(E) reduces Malphite's armor later. Malphite needs to create pressure before Nasus reaches the scaling phase he wants.
  2. Nasus vs Yorick Top - Do not walk toward the ghouls while Yorick can land Mourning Mist(E) and trap you with Dark Procession(W); collect safe Q stacks and wait for one of those abilities to miss before engaging.
  3. Nasus vs Gnar Top - Nasus can recover from Gnar's early harass with Soul Eater(P), while Wither(W) slows Mini Gnar and disrupts the movement he uses to kite. Gnar players describe Nasus eventually out-sustaining their poke and call out Wither as the key disruption, matching Nasus's +4.0pp low-elo advantage.
  4. Nasus vs Heimerdinger Top - Nasus can damage Heimer's turret setup with Spirit Fire(E) and earn Siphoning Strike(Q) stacks from turret kills, so the structures that drive Heimer's early lane pressure can also feed Nasus's scaling. Nasus's life steal helps him recover from poke, and Wither(W) makes it difficult for Heimer to kite once Nasus closes in.

How these matchup statistics are calculated

Counter and synergy statistics use Ranked Solo/Duo games, exclude matches shorter than 600 seconds, and group results by patch window, region, rank scope, and champion role.

Pairwise pages use a rolling three-patch window and compare observed win rate with a log-odds expected win rate based on each champion's role-adjusted baseline; listed pairs require at least 1,000 games.
