Introduction

Hi! My name is Maraxus and this will be my first guide for Mobafire. This guide is not totally finished yet and I will update this later this week.

This guide will help you survive your laning phase while stacking those Q's. You will be able to chunk loads of your enemy's HP if you follow this and at the same time tank for your team.

I used this setup to help me gain Gold 1 and I'm on my road to Platinum now. Feel free to comment so I can better myself. :)

Creeping

You need to AFK farm when using Nasus top lane. Always last hit creeps using your Q. Try freezing your lane and it's very easy for nasus because of his durability and lifesteal. Doing this will help you avoid being ganked as you are always near your tower. Do not harass as it will only consume farming time. Focus only in stacking your Q's. If done successfully you will be able to stack 500+ in less than 20 minutes.

Items

Use Glacial Shroud early game if your match up is AD and then rush Trinity Force. If the enemy team is composed of AP nukers then I recommend you rush Spirit Visage but if they're mostly AD then rush Frozen Heart. After getting Trinity Force, Frozen Heart and Spirit Visage it's up to you if you still want to go tanky and get Warmog's Armor and Banshee's Veil but if you're really snowballing get Last Whisper and Infinity Edge and you will be killing enemy champs in 2-3 Q hits
