Heimerdinger vs Nasus

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Use turret zones to control the wave and deny Nasus safe stacking opportunities.
Pressure Nasus early to prevent him from farming comfortably and scaling into a late threat.

Trading pattern

Use turret setups to force Nasus to last-hit within turret range and punish with (E) stun followed by (W) poke.
Trade aggressively when (E) is available to lock down Nasus and prevent him from stacking (Q).
Avoid trading when turrets are cleared or (E) is on cooldown, as zone control and crowd control are reduced.

Danger windows

Beware of extended fights after Nasus hits level 6 with (R) active and has stacked (Q), as he gains durability and damage.
Avoid all-ins when (E) is down or turrets are cleared, as Nasus can exploit reduced crowd control and zone pressure.
Be cautious when overpushed without vision, as Nasus can capitalize on ganks or forced fights.

Early game

Establish multiple turrets before engaging to maximize zone control and punish Nasus's attempts to farm.
Hold (E) to stun Nasus when he tries to approach for stacks, forcing him to take damage under turrets.
Avoid pushing too far without vision to prevent ganks, as Heimerdinger is vulnerable when overextended.

Power spikes

At level 3, use full turret, (W), and (E) combo to punish Nasus's low early pressure.
At level 6, choose the (R) upgrade that enhances your zone control or burst to deny Nasus's extended fight durability.
Respect Nasus's level 6 (R) spike by disengaging and punishing his low mobility before the effect ends.

Win conditions

Maintain turret zones to deny Nasus safe farming and stacking, forcing him into unfavorable trades.
Use (E) stun and turret damage to punish Nasus's attempts to approach and stack (Q).
Leverage level 6 (R) upgrades to adapt your zone control and burst, preventing Nasus from scaling into a side-lane threat.
