Hello my name is Chavali and this is my second guide on MobaFire and it is on one of my favorite champions
Nasus.
Nasus is a unique champions that doesnt need items for damage but simply needs to last hit with his
Siphoning Strike allowing you to build almost full tank items and still destroy the enemy squishys :D. Please dont troll downvote or if you have another
Nasus guide... this guide took me time and effort to make and i dont want it ruined for no reason at all.

The priority is R>Q>E=W When i play
Nasus I level up my
Spirit Fire if i am completely dominating a lane and their jungler can do nothing to stop me or if it is a duo lane i am dominating however, this is very rare so i 9 times out of 10 level up
Wither over
Spirit Fire because if its usefullness in ganks and it is great for casting on a enemy chasing you and running away.
This passive is great as a top laner because it gives you a ton of sustain and it is better than almost all lifesteal items after the nerfs to them.
This is your bread and butter. it re-sets your auto attack timer so if you are farming or attacking to to use it directly after a auto attack to maximize the damage you put out. This ability you must try to use on every last hit and use it whenever possible in fights.
works as a
Exhaust in a spell and did i forget to mention it is also the best slow in the game. Use this when chasing or fighting any AD champion 1v1. This spell can also be casted on a enemy as you run away to assure your escape.
this spell has its uses but if used improperly it can have some pretty bad negative effects. i will go over this spell later in How To Play Nasus.
this spell is just amazing, you can use it at low health to run away or pop it in team fights to strike fear into the enemy team and drain their health while all they can do is run for their lives.

Start of the game
buy first if your opponent in top lane has alot of skill shots ex.
Rumble
Irelia... then buy boots to make it harder for them to hit you.
buy first if your opponent has good harass like
Gangplank
Akali
Ryze to help you sustain yourself through their harass.
First Recall
philosopher's stoneto give you some good sustain + some gold per 10 seconds to help you build your
Trinity Force faster
if you have the money to give you some good health and more CDR
Mid game
This is your damage... it gives you great stats + a built in slow to reduce kiting and it goes great with your
Siphoning Strike
to give you more sustain from passive and cdr for your
Siphoning Strike
This item is great for any tank for teamfights if you press this + shurelya's at the same time.
Late Game
i buy this because i build armor heavy and it gives you some good Mresist and a amazing passive.
i build this to give me a huge advantage 1v1 against a AD carry and give my team the extra edge in teamfights.
Other Options
meh not as good unless you are going to rush it early game but still has great health.
i dont like to have this +
Trinity Force because you already have a slow and the on hit slow from
Trinity Force.

How you beat them: avoid laning against him at all costs... if you have to lane against him be very passive and just farm. dont even try to get close to him

Weaknesses: she has long CDs and is attack speed dependant
How they can beat you: she deals true damage and that makes all your armor useless + her sustain makes harassing her difficult.
How you beat them: dont let her farm. she is very item dependent unlike you so if you can stop her from last hitting do it. Also do not let her bait you with her
