Introduction

I'm not going to school for two days now and I'm pretty bored.
So I decided to make a guide for Nasus size
This guide is made for both going jungle and solo top.
Also this guide is Work In Progress!

Runes

Greater Mark of Desolation Greater Mark of Desolation
For marks it's the best to go for something offensive, these are the best runes for damage output.
1.66 x 9 = 14 Armor Pen.

Greater Mark of Alacrity
We take these runes when jungling because lifesteal is more effective with these, more sustain in jungle.
1.7% x 9 = 15% AS

Greater Seal of Clarity
Nasus size has amazing abilities and he is mana thirsty, so we take these for laning.
1.17 x 9 = 10 Mana Regen. (at level 18)

Greater Seal of Resilience
It's barely possible to survive with in jungle without these runes.
1.41 x 9 = 13 Armor

Greater Glyph of Shielding
With it's important to be tanky and for that we need resistances. Also we take these because we don't buy magic resistance items.
2.7 x 9 = 24 Magic Resist. (at level 18)

Greater Quintessence of Fortitude
These runes are giving you nice amount of HP on start.
26 x 3 = 78 HP

Items

Vampiric Scepter
Usually it's not recomended item for laning but it's a great mix with . Basicly on start with those two you get 24% lifesteal which is amazing sustain!
Also starting with this item is the only way of jungling with him.

Mercury's Treads
Basically I choose these because of Tenacity (reduces duration of stuns, slows, snares...) and it also gives you some magic resistance which will make you a little bit more tanky.

Trinity Force
It gives you: AD, AP, HP, Mana, AS, CS, 12% Movement Speed and some nice passives.
1st - After using an ability, your next basic attack deals bonus physical damage equal to 150% of your base Attack Damage, two second cooldown. Does not stack with Sheen or Lich Bane.
2nd - Your basic attacks have a 25% chance to slow your target's movement speed by 35% for 2.5 seconds.
It gives everything he could think of!

The Bloodthirster
We want to make something out of and this item fits in great.
Also when you take it farm as much as possible to stack it up!

Warmog's Armor
This gives you a lot of HP and of course HP regeneration.
With this item you will be able to carry your team like crazy.
Also when you get this item you must continue farming because it gives you HP per minion kill.

Frozen Heart
Gives you a lot of resistances, mostly make you unkillable in teamfights!
Also with this item you will shut down opponent's AD Carry! Enemies in 1000 range have their AS reduced by 20%.

Atma's Impaler
On the end if you have sell it and get this for a lot of damage and some more armor.

Summoner spells

Is a must:

Ghost
For we need the spell that will give us the ability to escape from the fight or to chase enemies. I find more useful than on because the situation with him is usually running away/chasing through the lane. When you activate your champions with can easily chase you down.

Very good:

Smite
If you're going jungle take it.

Teleport
It's really good to defend turrets or just to get in lane faster when you're solo top.

Ignite
Not too important for , but nice for finishing your enemies and it also reduces your targets healing effects by 50% which is very nice.

Cleanse
When enemy have champions such as , , , or when you just want to get rid of or .

Exhaust
Not too important on since we have but it could be handy when you combine those two.

Never:

Surge
The stats from this summoner spell have nothing to do with .

Heal
You have great sustain in both lane and jungle with you lifesteal, you don't have enough slots for this summoner spell.

Clarity
You are not that mana hungry.

Revive
We do not die!

Promote
This would be simply wasting your summoner spell slot.

Clairvoyance
For support champions, this is great. But has no potential for going support.

Masteries

Offense:
- With 1 point here your movement speed boost will be higher by 8%!
- Giving you extra 3 AD, why not?
- 4% AS, a little bit useful in jungle but could come handy in lane too.
- If opponent has 100 armor that means you will have 10 armor penetration on him which is very nice.

Defense:
- Giving you 6 more magic resistance, it's nice since we usually don't buy heavy magic resist. items through the whole game.
- Some more armor while rushing defense tree.
- Some health before we get .
- Some health regen. too before we get the item that must not be named.
- Only 1 point for 30hp on start.
- Some movement speed while rushing
- Get some resistance, mission accomplished!
- Finally! Let's say that you have 1000hp, well with this mastery you will get bonus 30hp and if you have 2000hp it will give you bonus 60hp... etc.
And it also gives you reduced duration of incoming disables by 10%.

Jungle:
- Helping the guy saving as much health as possible for ganks.
- Helping him being faster in the jungle.
- Every time he uses he will gain 10 gold. When you have this mastery use smite whenever you can.
