Yo

I really hate Tiamat. Don't think I've ever bought it without trolling. However, lately I've seen a couple of Nasus players building it - while also stating that the splash damage is increased by both the stacked Siphoning Strike damage and the proc from Trinity Force.

First of all, I was wondering if the above mentioned is true .. and IF it's actually true, is Tiamat perhaps viable on Nasus?

And finally: If above mentioned theory is true, is the permanent Siphoning Strike damage also applied at every splash damage, so you'll then be able to remove and entire minion wave and get 3 x 6 = 18 additional damage to it in one hit? Then you can just sell Tiamat after you've build up an insane amount of damage on Siphoning Strike.


Thanks in advance.

It's ok, but nothing I'd recommend.

I'm pretty sure your Q won't get extra dmg from the splash kills.

I have tried what u suggest, to stack siphoning strike with multiple minion kills with Tiamat, but it does not work. But farming goes much faster bc the damage you do with siph. strike does 50 % splash damage.

I have found that Tiamat doesn`t work for me on Nasus.. I prefer to get Frozen Mallet or Black cleaver as fast as possible.

Farming works better but, you get no more bonus damage if you manage to kill a ton of minions as opposed to one.

Farming is pretty decent already, so I guess there is way better options then - even due to fact you'll hit more people in teamfights. Could've been nice with the Siphoning Strike stacking from multiple kills, but I see it don't work that way, so .. Thanks for the answers everybody!

EDIT: btw I wouldnt get Frozen Mallet since Wither and the Trinity Force proc should be enough.

It's a good late game item, for the teamfights so your TForce and Q do splash, but other than that it's pretty useless since it just kills off the creep wave you can no longer last hit with your siphon.
Currently looking for a team, I'm an amazing skill-shotter and prefer tanky roles (Garen, Renek, Amumu) or straight up AP DPS (Nidalee, Veigar, etc) :3 Although I'm a great Sona too.

D: Completely counter-intuitive. You want to last hit with Siphoning Strike to raise it's damage, not kill the whole wave with one hit and only get +3 damage :/

It is fun though ^^

Splash damage is kinda bad on nasus I think, because you want more minions to Q. Instead of clearing waves faster.

Guys, this ^was the most important point in my topic. Now that this is not an option, Tiamat is complete ******** like always :D
