I have some questions on that build:

1- Why no Iceborn Gauntlets, and why Frozen Heart over it ?
2- I understand why you max Q at last, but shouldn't it be the first skill you take to get some stacks on the blue kill ?
3- Bladed Armor: won't it "steal" your Q kills to stack your damage ?
4- Why no spirit visage ?

Thanks for answering ! Also, I'm new at this game and I was wondering if it is possible to play as jungler with Nasus at low level, and do you recommend me to get some tier 1 runes until I get lvl 20 or it's not worth it ? Nice guide !!!

This guide looks brilliant for the most part, I especially love the 'Special Techniques' section, but I do have a few questions I'd like to ask.

1. I notice the build is very armour heavy, what would you build if you are vs a double AP team? Would you drop an item, say Frozen Heart, for some MR? Namely Spirit Visage as it synergizes with Nasus' entire kit by giving HP, MR, CDR and a Lifesteal Passive boost.

2. As you have stated you want to keep up with targets, but Ghost has a limited time and Wither will drain your Mana pool and with the lack of damage in the build until mid-late game you're not going to kill anyone who is relatively tanky so would Iceborn Gauntlet or even the new Phage/Trinity Force be a viable item? Reasons for IBG are that it will increase your wave clear, has a passive AoE slow, and Phage now increases your Move Speed by 20 for 2 seconds for every basic attack, so it will allow you to stick to enemies.

Sorry for the big post, just wanted to ask a couple of questions and give my reasons behind my suggestions.

Thank you in advance if you, or anyone else reads and answers this post.

It's a great guide to nasus, for some reason I did most of the suggested things in "Special Techniques" before even reading about nasus anywhere, it just came naturaly after my two first games. (maybe from remembering lifestreams or lcs >.>)
There are three items that I think you should pay attention to:
1. Spirit Visage- I can't belive you ignored such an op item. When I need MR. I know that this item will cover my back, this item gives me Health + MR + health regan + 20% CD + Inceases life-steal and health regan. So many things that all work well on Nasus.
2. Banshee's Veil- Gives some sweet health and MR if needed. But that's not the point. The big thing about this item is that he cancel the first skill that hits you, and as a nasus player you most know that cc is the biggest thing that kits him.
3. Iceborn- You get a bigger pool of mana, CD, Awesome armor, and a spellblade passive with a slow in an AOE, amazing effect on team fights because your W is only one target skill so you lack CC.

Six66: Nasus has no gap closer or natural damage reduction. He gets blown up in team-fights without building tank. If he gets blown up he can't make use of his massive ultimate damage (which gives free AD) or farmed Siphoning Strike (more free damage). The beauty of Nasus is doing massive damage while being hard to kill. Building AD makes him into a worse version of a melee ADC, which btw doesn't work well in the game at the moment. If someone were to build a team around an AD Nasus, or use him to split push only, it might could work but I wouldn't bet on it.

Hey people I was wondering: why does everyone build Nasus Tank ?
I build him AD all the time and I get a lot of kills.
Reason 1: his passive: lifesteal. It's kind of lost on a tank, not ?
Reason 2: Siphoning strike deals massive damage if you have a lot of AD (especially late game)
Reason 3: he has no skills that increase his tankiness.

please comment to this

I was really skeptical on maxing Spirit Fire first, but after playing a few games, I can see it's viable. Nice work!

Great guide! Good with some thoughts on what is important. Your build needs some MR though - fx from a Spirit Visage that gives you CDR and health regen and increased life steal from your passive.

Still get Aegis then upgrade it into a locket of the iron solari

Great guide. Just finished being 8-3-21 with 200 farm. Thanks! :D

What you will buy instead of Bulwark after the change?

Nice in late game !
