How to play it

✓ DO

Don't E in

If you use E to engage he can Wither you and run you down, so pick your commits carefully.

Deny his farm

Don't let him farm at all — watch your wave state and win the lane before his Q stacks come online.

Walk, don't auto

Don't auto him while you're Withered — just walk alongside him and let CC catch back up.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never let Nasus free-farm — his Siphoning Strike stacks are what carry him past you late.
