Aurelion Sol vs Nasus

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Prioritize stable farming and avoid early all-ins to reach your strong mid-late game scaling as a control mage.
Maintain medium lane pressure to prevent Nasus from freely stacking (Q) and scaling into a side-lane threat.
This is a scale-vs-scale matchup where you must deny Nasus's passive lane and leverage your superior waveclear and poke to control the tempo.

Trading pattern

Use (E) to pull Nasus into your (Q) poke for short trades that chip him without committing to all-ins.
Punish Nasus when his (W) slow is on cooldown by stepping forward for poke and wave pressure.
Avoid extended fights especially after Nasus hits level 6 and activates (R), as he gains durability and repeated (Q) damage threat.

Danger windows

Be cautious when Nasus has stacks on (Q) and (R) active, as he can survive and punish extended trades.
Watch for (W) slow landing on you, as it enables him to force all-ins or extended fights.
Avoid overextending early before your full kit is online to prevent being punished by Nasus or jungle ganks exploiting your low early agency.

Early game

Focus on farming safely with (E) into (Q) poke to chip Nasus and keep the wave from freezing near his tower.
Avoid extended trades before you have your full kit to prevent getting punished by (W) slow and stacking potential.
Use your medium mobility with (W) to reposition and avoid Nasus's attempts to close distance early.

Power spikes

Respect Nasus's level 6 (R) spike which grants him durability and extended fight threat; avoid prolonged trades during this window.
Exploit your power spike after completing Rylai's, increasing your chase and trade reliability against Nasus.
Play toward your ultimate upgrade at 75+ stacks to leverage stronger teamfight presence and pressure Nasus indirectly.

Win conditions

Deny Nasus free stacking by using wave pressure and poke to keep the wave from freezing near his tower.
Reach your Rylai's and ultimate upgrade power spikes to enhance your teamfight and roaming impact.
Play for stable farm and safe resets to scale into a late-game control mage who can outmaneuver Nasus in teamfights and side-lane pressure.
