Nasus Jungle guide

Nasus jungle clears camps with Spirit Fire (E) and Siphoning Strike (Q): Spirit Fire burns the ground to reduce Armor, Siphoning Strike bags the killing blow to permanently grow stronger, and Wither (W) ages a target's Move Speed and Attack Speed to set up a gank before Fury of the Sands (R) takes over fights.

The build

Rune page: Fleet Footwork, Triumph, Legend: Haste, and Cut Down (Precision), with Magical Footwear and Approach Velocity (Inspiration). Summoners: Flash and Smite. Skill order opens Siphoning Strike (Q) at level 1, adds Spirit Fire (E) second, then maxes Siphoning Strike (Q) first with Wither (W) second. Starter: Gustwalker Hatchling, into Boots of Swiftness. Core build: Protoplasm Harness, Iceborn Gauntlet, Spirit Visage, with Trinity Force, Frozen Heart, and Jak'Sho, The Protean as later options.
