Lillia vs Nasus

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use Lillia's very high clear speed and mobility to outpace Nasus and control early jungle tempo.
Focus on contesting river Scuttles and objective entrances to leverage Lillia's strong objective control and sleep engage.
Prioritize avoiding early fights where Nasus can stack (Q) safely and become a scaling threat.

Jungle Plan

Path for fast full clears and reset tempo to hit item spikes before Nasus scales.
Fight for Scuttle and river control only when allied lanes can pressure or counter-gank Nasus's first moves.
Use vision and sleep setup to control dragon and Rift Herald entrances, denying Nasus safe scaling space.

Danger windows

Avoid river fights before movement speed stacks and cooldowns are up to prevent being pinned by Nasus's slow (W).
Be cautious contesting objectives around 15-20 minutes when Nasus's scaling and (Q) stacks peak.
Watch for isolated fights where Nasus can use (W) and (R) to force extended duels that punish Lillia's lower early dueling.

Early game

Start with a full clear to maximize tempo and reach item spikes faster than Nasus.
Contest first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority to support; otherwise, avoid risky river fights early.
Avoid low-health clears near Nasus to reduce vulnerability to counter-invades or forced smite fights.

Power spikes

Lillia spikes with her AP item completions and sleep (E) and (R) crowd control for objective fights; use these to initiate or disengage.
Respect Nasus's level 6 (R) spike which grants durability and extended fight threat; avoid prolonged fights during this window.
Beware Nasus's high (Q) stacks combined with (W) slow and (R) durability, which make him a strong duelist in side-lane skirmishes.

Win conditions

Maintain jungle tempo with fast clears and resets to reach AP spikes before Nasus can scale.
Use sleep (E) and (R) to set up teamfights and objective control, denying Nasus safe access to side-lane scaling.
Exploit Nasus's low early pressure by invading or counter-jungling when lanes have priority to deny his stacks and delay his power spikes.
