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 Tryndamere

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Don't trade when his Fury is high

    Avoid taking a trade when his Fury is high: with Battle Fury (passive), it raises his critical strike chance, and Bloodlust (Q) turns it into healing.

  2. Harass him while he farms

    Hit him when he walks up to minions to farm: each last hit gives him Fury, which Bloodlust (Q) then turns into healing.

  3. Don't turn your back on him

    Against Mocking Shout (W), back off sideways rather than turning your back on him: the spell only slows enemies who are facing away from him.

  4. Respect his level 6

    Once he hits level 6, plan for what comes after Undying Rage (R): he can't die during the effect, so back off or hold any CC you have, and finish him when it ends.
