Nasus Top guide

Nasus top is a scaling farm champion built around Siphoning Strike (Q): every kill it secures permanently increases its power, Wither (W) ages an enemy champion to slow their Move Speed and Attack Speed, and Spirit Fire (E) burns the ground to reduce the Armor of anyone standing in it, setting up Fury of the Sands (R) to close out the fight.

The build

Rune page: Fleet Footwork, Triumph, Legend: Haste, and Last Stand (Precision), with Unflinching and Second Wind (Resolve). Summoners: Ghost and Teleport. Skill order opens and maxes Siphoning Strike (Q) first, with Wither (W) second. Starter: Doran's Shield and a Health Potion, into Ionian Boots of Lucidity. Core build: Trinity Force, Frozen Heart, Spirit Visage, with Thornmail, Iceborn Gauntlet, and Bramble Vest as later options.

Ability mechanics

Siphoning Strike (Q) deals damage and permanently increases the power of future casts whenever it slays its target. Wither (W) decelerates its target's Move Speed and Attack Speed over time. Spirit Fire (E) reduces the Armor of enemies standing in it, and Fury of the Sands (R) grants bonus Health, Attack Range, Armor, and Magic Resistance while damaging nearby enemies and lowering the cooldown on Siphoning Strike (Q).
