Mordekaiser vs Nasus

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Mordekaiser should pressure Nasus early to deny his safe farming and stacking of (Q).
This matchup is a control vs scaling duel where Mordekaiser aims to prevent Nasus from reaching his late-game power spikes.

Trading pattern

Initiate trades by threatening (E) to pull Nasus, then hit isolated (Q) for max damage.
Keep trades extended while your passive and (W) shield sustain you through Nasus's slow poke.
Avoid fighting when (E) is on cooldown or passive is inactive to prevent being kited or out-sustained.

Danger windows

Be cautious when Nasus activates (R) with high (Q) stacks as he can survive and punish extended trades.
Avoid overcommitting if (E) misses since your engage threat drops significantly.
Watch for (W) slow enabling him to lock you down in trades if you misposition.

Early game

Use wave control to keep Nasus near you and threaten (E) pulls to force short trades.
Avoid missing (E) as it lowers your threat and allows Nasus to stack freely.
Prioritize level 6 to unlock (R) for forced isolated duels against Nasus.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) after a successful (E) pull to isolate Nasus and force unfavorable duels.
First AP bruiser item strengthens your sustained damage and durability; use this to extend trades.
Respect Nasus's level 6 (R) and high (Q) stacks which increase his durability and damage in extended fights.

Win conditions

Deny Nasus safe farming by controlling the wave and threatening (E) pulls to force fights early.
Use (R) to isolate Nasus in side lanes or teamfights where he cannot receive help.
Maintain passive and (W) shield uptime to win extended trades and prevent Nasus from scaling safely.
