How to play as Nasus

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.

When Yorick misses E or W, use Wither(W) and Fury of the Sands(R) to run him down; during the all-in, spend Q on Yorick or the Maiden instead of wasting every strike on ghouls.

Nasus can gain Siphoning Strike(Q) stacks from Yorick's Mist Walkers and Maiden because they count as pets; Yorick's wall and marked ghouls also punish Nasus if he walks up carelessly to farm them.
