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 Singed

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Don't chase him

    Don't chase Singed: behind him, Poison Trail (Q) damages you every second, and that's what he wants.

  2. Get out of his glue fast

    Get out of Mega Adhesive (W) fast: the glue slows and grounds you, so you can't dash.

  3. Keep your distance

    If you're ranged, keep your distance: Fling (E) only works in melee range, and it throws you behind him, toward his allies.

  4. CC on him, damage on them

    If you have CC, use it on Singed when he dives, then hit his allies: he's hard to bring down, but he has to come into melee range.
