Skill Discussion
- Soul Eater: Lane control! So good.
- Siphoning Strike (Q): Without it, Nasus is just another tank.
WITH IT, he dominates SO HARD!
Last-hit minions all. game. long.
Siphoning Strike hits for over 500 Damage late-game if you farm it well!
- Wither (W): Phew.
Perhaps the most powerful slow in the game!
With CDR, you can chain them together for the win.
- Spirit Fire (E): Armor redux and AoE- kinda fun.
Drop Spirit Fires on teamfights and minion waves!
- Fury of the Sands (R): Pop this to win fights!
Health, AoE and drained Damage, your very own sandstorm, and you GET BIG.

Start with
Siphoning Strike for CD and damage, proceed to max Wither for a more powerful slow, and finish with Spirit Fire for good farm and good times :)Bump
Fury of the Sands at Level 6, 11, and 18.
Items
-
: Essential sustain for constant Siphoning Strikes!
-
: Because chaining multiple Withers is BRUTAL.
-
: A lifesaver for tanky melee champions!
-
: Back-breaking for those early teamfights.
-
: So you've spent 20 minutes stacking 100 bonus damage on Siphoning Strike?
Here's ~100 more damage every time :D
-
: Extremely efficient resistances! (and an OP Passive)
-
: Upgrade Sheen for awesomeness!
-
: Be a tank and a carry.
-
: Un-kill-ability is what all the cool kids are shooting for ;)
Gameplay
Early-Game
You have three goals in the first 30 minutes:
- Do not die.
- Protect your turret.
- Farm Siphoning Strike ALWAYS!!!
Farm your Q ALL FREAKIN' GAME LONG.
In teamfights,
Wither the physical carry and Siphoning Strike them to oblivion!Once you have
Sheen, you're a MONSTER.With
Giant's Belt and Guardian Angel, you can take down anything in your path!Push lanes, win teamfights, and continue to Farm!
Late-Game
With
Frozen Mallet, you're a DEMON.Finish off the enemy team and their Nexus with your teammates!
Summary
If you love to farm and faceroll, then Nasus is your man!
"The Curator of the Sands, though contemplative, is not to be trifled with."
