Nasus vs Fizz

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Nasus must prioritize safe full clears and avoid early fights to build (Q) stacks and reach scaling power spikes.
Focus on side-lane pressure post-level 6 to leverage durability and force Fizz to respond, minimizing early river contests.

Jungle Plan

Prioritize full clears and only contest river vision when lanes have priority to reduce risk against Fizz's early burst.
Avoid early invades before (R) and sufficient (Q) stacks enable dueling potential.
Use side-lane pressure after level 6 to force Fizz into defensive positions, creating objective control windows around dragon and Rift Herald.

Danger windows

Early levels before (Q) stacks and level 6 are high-risk; avoid isolated fights and overextensions without vision.
Fizz's level 3 combo with (Q), (W), and (E) grants strong burst and mobility; respect this window and avoid fights when his abilities are up.
Forced smite fights or river skirmishes without lane priority or vision control risk losing tempo; disengage if outnumbered or outpaced.

Early game

Start with a full clear to maximize (Q) stacks and delay river contests until (R) is available.
Avoid fighting for first Scuttle Crab unless allied lanes have priority for counter-ganks.
Track Fizz's pathing to identify cooldown windows for safe counter-ganks.

Power spikes

Level 6 (R) grants extended fight durability; use it to contest objectives and punish Fizz's all-in attempts.
High (Q) stacks turn Nasus into a strong duelist; pressure side lanes and force isolated fights.
First defensive or sheen-style item boosts survivability and damage; time aggressive plays around this.

Win conditions

Convert stacked (Q) and (R) durability into side-lane pressure to draw enemy attention and create objective control opportunities.
Use vision and lane priority to deny Fizz safe jungle access, forcing him into unfavorable fights or farming patterns.
Scale through safe farming and selective counter-ganks to reach late game where Nasus outduels Fizz and secures key objectives for the team.
