Welcome to the Nasus bible, I am a gold Nasus pleb and I want to share my knowledge about Nasus with you, which I obtained over the past years of maining Nasus for long periods of time. I started playing league of legends at the end of season 3 and in season 7 I really started playing the Susan.

Items that I showed above in the build guide will be further explained here.

	Divine Sunderer is in S11 the best mythic in my opinion for Nasus because ofc it has Sheen and this mythic does 10% maximum health bonus damage on hit and gives healing which is good with Nasus passive Soul Eater and Spirit Visage
	Mercury's Treads are very good boots to have on Nasus. they give a nice boost of magic resistance but the most important thing of all TENACITY. Tenacity is super good on Nasus because Nasus can be easily kited and cc'd, so I recommend to build this almost all the time on him
	Spirit Visage is a very good item for Nasus. This is because it gives a healing buff to your champion. Nasus has a passive called Soul Eater which gives him lifesteal and Spirit Visage will boost this healing from his passive.
	Thornmail is a very good item for Nasus against ad heave champions and healing champions. Thornmail gives the effect of a grievous wound when the enemy champion hits you with an attack. This is very good against champion such as Jinx
	Guardian Angel is a very good item because Nasus is a pretty tanky champion. Guardian Angel gives the champion wearing it a second life which is very scary if a tanky Nasus would build it.
	Gargoyle Stoneplate is a great tank item to build on Nasus because it gives alot of Shield mid team fight. When you use Gargoyle Stoneplate correctly it can give you around 1500 shield!

There are a lot of micro tips people should start using in their games when playing Nasus. Nasus doesn't require a lot of thinking when fed but is really hard when behind. So I am going to give some tips that helped me playing this champ.

[*] Jungle Skirmishing
For jungle skirmishing, Nasus isn't really built for that in the early game. This is because Nasus doesn't get priority in nearly every game he plays on the toplane. Even weaker matchups like maokai have better skirmishing because of their built-in cc. Most of the time you are going to get flamed by your jungle because you didn't help them and that can be tilting sometimes. What I advise is to mute that person and move on with you're game.

[*] Don't get solo killed
I know I know, Nasus is a big chad who wants to kill any champ that gets in its way, but if you get killed in 1v1's then you won't be a big chad dog, you will be the neighbours barking Chihuahua. So how can you prevent this? 2 things and that is getting good vision in your river and tri-bush(if on the correct side) and don't go all-in for that cannon. I know it is +12 and we are hungry for those stacks but the amount of damage you sometimes take is just to much for taking a cannon and that cannon can be your death if you don't watch out.

[*] Turretdives
Nasus is a champ that can be dived really easy, especially by some junglers. When in-game watch out for dives from these jungles:

Elise
Nidalee
Rek'sai
Rammus
Sejuani
Zac
Volibear
Ekko

[*] In the late game you want to team fight more than stack
In late game the team really needs you to be there to fight with them for objectives. To give you an approximation of the amount of stacks you need, this might help you when to fight and when not to fight.

- 5 minutes: ~40 stacks
- 10 minutes: ~135 stacks
- 15 minutes: ~260 stacks
- 20 minutes: ~425 stacks
- after 25 mins: around 550 will be enough to do a lot of work in team fights.

First of all, I want to thank you for reading my guide and I hope it was interesting. I will still be working on this guide because there will be a second part where I am going to explain AP Nasus. This is my first guide :) If you have any questions feel free to ask them :D, Also if you want to you can follow me on twitch.tv/buumert
