Camille
That's the biggest Nasus counter. I ban her most of the time , because she's a nightmare. Avoid her at all cost. Killing her Is extremly hard If alone and stay away from walls. Most of the time you outscale and destroy her late game. Best thing to do early Is freeze the lane and stack Q.
Yuumi
Probably the best with Nasus. Heal + Speed= Unkillable

Introduction
Welcome to my guide, and hope you enjoy It.
I'm Nokk, a typical league player. I'm a Top and ADC main. I play since season 3, when I took a break and came back In around season 7-8.
Why Should You Play Nasus
Why should you play Nasus
Nasus is an imposing, jackal-headed Ascended—those heroic and god-like figures once revered by the people of Shurima. Fiercely intelligent, he was a guardian of knowledge and peerless strategist whose wisdom guided the empire to greatness for many centuries. After the failed Ascension of Azir, Nasus went into self-imposed exile, becoming little more than a legend. Now that the Sun Disc has risen once more, he has returned, determined to ensure it never falls again.
Why should you play Nasus?
-Nasus Is a champion that can surpass almost everyone even when your team is falling behind.
-Nasus scales perfectly mid and late game. If Nasus Is behind, he always can get more powerful by stacking Qs
-Nasus focuses on split-pushing and farming. That split-pushing God can carry his own team, as well as the enemy team.
Pros/Cons
Pros
-Easy to play/remember
-Super strong mid and late game
-Great split-pusher
-Can carry solo
-Can turn a lost game into a win, by split-pushing
-Very useful/good In teamfights
Cons
-No CC
-Very weak early game
-Easy to fall behind and be zoned out of CS
-Susceptible to ganks
-Has many top lane counters

What are Stacks
Stacks
Stacks are gained when you last hit with your Q also known as
Siphoning Strike. One stack is equal to 1 damage. Small minions give 3 stacks and cannon minions/super minions/large monsters(Rift,Dragon,Baron)/Champions give 12 stacks.The purpose of
Nasus is to gain as much stacks until the end of the game. The reason to build items with ability haste is that "Ability haste=Faster Qs". The more Qs the more damage.
Early Game
For starter I always go with
Doran's Shield and a
Health Potion.
The most important thing to do with Nasus Is stack. Missing some minnions isn't a problem, but try to avoid missing your Q:
Siphoning Strike. Best thing to do is look how much damage your Q does and land the last hit on the minnons and cannon minions.
When you are agaisnt a counter or annoying champion avoid chasing a minion for a last hit Q as everyone knows what Nasus really wants. They will often zone you off the lane or the cannon minion.
When I have atleast 1000 gold I recall so i can buy
Sheen,
Boots and
Health Potion. Later game that
Sheen is turned into
Divine Sunderer. ALWAYS get
Sheen as it boosts your Q
/Damage. In that time that you've recalled you will have two options
Teleport Top "If getting pushed" or
Teleport to group with your team for a dragon/fight.
Nasus is a champion that often falls behind with exp. Before recalling make sure to push the towards your opponents tower.

Mid Game
When mid game happens after the first 15 mins you should already have atleast 200 Stacks and
Divine Sunderer. Mid game is the time when you can unleash hell upon your opponents. Continue stacking and always participate in fights.If your opponent uses his
Teleport then start destroying his tower. Destroying towers with Nasus Is extremly easy ,because of Demolish and Qs.
Here is the time when you can look at the builds and situational items above in the item section. For second item I like going
Frozen Heart, but you can also pick
Hullbreaker if you are going to focus on pushing. For the rest of the items look at the builds and situationals items above in the item section.

Late Game
Nasus is more of a Mid Game monster than Late Game. At that point many are finally able to kill
Nasus. So you can focus on
Teleporting and hard pushing even if it means you'll die. Pushing late game is as easy as slicing cake, It takes Nasus around 4-5 Qs to destroy a tower. If the opponent starts to push you
Wither them and run away. Never be afraid to use your
Teleport as it could be your key to Victory. To use it tho you and your team will need to place wards all around the map, you can also use it to join teamfights.

Patch 12.6
With Patch 11.23 came new Dragons,Runes,Items,Objectives etc. If your team is falling behind you will recive objectives such as:
These objectives are really good for Nasus as he is the ultimate pushing beast, which means that everytime he pushes a tower he will gain 250-400 gold + 50-250 bonus. The new "First Strike" rune is easy to remember. For Nasus to activate it before going in with Q:
Siphoning Strike you will need to land your E. The runes provide bonus damage and gold.
Nothing concerning Nasus in Patch 12.6
Baron & Elder Dragon 500 gold
Drakes & Rift Herald 500 gold
Outer Turret 250 gold
Inner Turret 400 gold
Base Turret 400 gold
