Nasus

Fighter

Nasus is an imposing, jackal-headed Ascended being from ancient Shurima, a heroic figure regarded as a demigod by the people of the desert.

Strengths

  • Paying attention to last hitting with Siphoning Strike will have a large impact at the end of a game.
  • If you're solo, Spirit Fire is a great way to farm a lane. It can be bad if you're in a lane with 2 and you push too far. Find the right balance between Siphoning Strike last hits and AoE farming.
  • If you have low defenses, people will focus you down even during your ultimate. Try buying some survivability items even in your DPS builds.

Abilities

  • Passive · Soul Eater — Nasus drains his foe's spiritual energy, giving him bonus Life Steal.
  • Q · Siphoning Strike — Nasus strikes his foe, dealing damage and increasing the power of his future Siphoning Strikes if he slays his target.
  • W · Wither — Nasus ages an enemy champion, decelerating their Move Speed and Attack Speed over time.
  • E · Spirit Fire — Nasus unleashes a spirit flame at a location, dealing damage and reducing the Armor of enemies who stand on it.
  • Ultimate · Fury of the Sands — Nasus unleashes a mighty sandstorm that batters nearby enemies. While the storm rages, he gains increased Health, Attack Range, damages nearby enemies, has a reduced cooldown on Siphoning Strike, and gains bonus Armor and Magic Resistance.

Team Composition
