Playing as Nasus

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Last-hit with Siphoning Strike

    Last-hit minions with Siphoning Strike (Q): each kill with the spell permanently increases its damage, by more on large minions and champions.

  2. Wither their carry

    In teamfights, cast Wither (W) on their carry: the slow grows stronger over the spell's duration and also reduces their attack speed.

  3. Fury of the Sands as the fight starts

    Cast Fury of the Sands (R) as you enter a teamfight: for 15 seconds, you gain health and resistances, damage nearby enemies, and Siphoning Strike (Q) comes back faster.

  4. Farm instead of forcing early

    Early on, farm rather than force trades: Siphoning Strike (Q) stacks are permanent, and every minion you last-hit makes you stronger later.

Playing against Ornn

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Stay away from walls and his pillar

    Don't stand near a wall or the Volcanic Rupture (Q) pillar: if he slams into it with Searing Charge (E), enemies around him take a knock-up.

  2. Get out of his breath

    Get out of Bellows Breath (W) before the final burst of flame: it makes you brittle, and his CC then lasts 30% longer on you.

  3. Keep him in combat in lane

    Hit him regularly in lane: while he's being attacked, he can't forge his items on the spot with Living Forge (passive).

  4. Dodge the redirected elemental

    When he recasts Call of the Forge God (R), get out of the elemental's line: redirected, it knocks the first champion it hits into the air, then the next ones.
