Use Ekko's high mobility and burst to contest river Scuttles and control early jungle tempo against Nasus's slower scaling jungle style.
Focus on denying Nasus early camps and avoid prolonged fights before level 6 where Nasus's scaling and durability are low but his slow can punish mistakes.
Jungle Plan
Path aggressively to invade Nasus before he hits his scaling breakpoints, focusing on camps that deny his stacks and force him to farm under pressure.
Contest Scuttle only when your lanes can assist or have priority to avoid risky isolated fights.
Use fogged (W) zones before dragon or Void Grubs to control entrances and set up picks or zoning that leverage your burst and stun.
Danger windows
Avoid isolated river fights or forced objective contests before level 6 when Nasus's slow and sustain can punish mistakes.
Beware of low-health clears where Nasus can counter-invade or force smite fights.
Respect Nasus's scaling window around 15-20 minutes when his (Q) stacks and (R) make him a significant threat to 1v2 scenarios.
Early game
Start with a full clear or five-camp clear to hit level 6 quickly and prepare for impactful ganks.
Prioritize first river Scuttle if nearby lanes have priority to secure vision and objective control.
Avoid early 1v1 fights in the river or jungle where Nasus's slow and sustain can turn the fight if you miss your burst.
Power spikes
Level 3 unlocks your (Q)-(W)-(E) combo, giving you a strong burst and stun trade pattern; use it when minions and cooldowns favor you.
Level 6 (R) grants a safety net and burst reset; track its availability to commit to all-ins or defensive plays.
First completed AP burst item increases your damage and trade reliability; pressure Nasus more confidently after this point.
Win conditions
Convert early jungle tempo into denying Nasus's stacks by invading and counter-jungling camps before he scales.
Use your mobility and (W) stun setup to create picks and force objectives like dragon and Rift Herald with lane priority.
Leverage your level 6 (R) to safely execute aggressive plays and reset fights, snowballing leads into map control and scaling denial on Nasus.
Tip: For Ekko vs Nasus, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Jungle lane check.
