Lee Sin vs Nasus

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Lee Sin must leverage his very high early game pressure and mobility to force river fights and invade before Nasus can scale stacks.
Prioritize snowballing through early jungle tempo and gank pressure to deny Nasus the safe farm and scaling he needs.

Jungle Plan

Path aggressively to invade Nasus's jungle before he stacks and forces extended fights, prioritizing camps near river entrances.
Fight for river control and first Scuttle only when allied lanes can move first and provide support.
Use (Q) and (W) mobility to create creative gank angles on sidelanes before Nasus reaches his power spikes.

Danger windows

Respect Nasus's first river move and early invade timing; avoid isolated fights if (Q) or (R) are available on Nasus.
Beware forced smite fights when low on health or without lane priority; (W) slow can trap Lee Sin.
Avoid extended fights past 15 minutes where Nasus's stacks and (R) durability make him a significant threat.

Early game

Start with a three-camp clear that allows hitting level 3 quickly to threaten early invades or river skirmishes.
Contest first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority to support fights and avoid overcommitting.
Avoid full clears that delay pressure; reset tempo with ganks or counter-invades after successful early plays.

Power spikes

Level 3: Use full kit to invade or force fights around river; path toward Nasus's jungle when lanes have priority.
Level 6: Use (R) to isolate priority targets or disrupt Nasus's objective access, punishing his low mobility.
Early damage item spike: capitalize on increased burst to secure kills or force Nasus off camps before he scales.

Win conditions

Convert early invade and river control into denying Nasus jungle camps and stacking opportunities.
Use superior mobility and gank threat to pressure sidelanes before Nasus reaches power spikes.
Secure early dragons and Rift Heralds after winning fights to maintain tempo and prevent Nasus from scaling into a splitpush threat.
