Udyr vs Nasus

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Use Udyr's superior clear speed and dueling power to control jungle tempo and deny Nasus early camps.
Prioritize early river control and Scuttle crab to limit Nasus's limited early pressure and mobility.
Convert early tempo into objective control rather than chasing low-value ganks against Nasus's scaling focus.

Jungle Plan

Start with a full clear, then look to contest first Scuttle if your lanes can move first and provide cover.
Invade Nasus's jungle camps when you have lane priority and track his camp respawns to punish slow rotations.
Use river control and vision to secure early dragon and Rift Herald, leveraging your strong objective control and tempo.

Danger windows

Nasus becomes dangerous around 15-20 minutes when (Q) stacks and (R) are active; avoid isolated fights then.
Avoid river fights when (W) slow and (R) ultimate are available, as he can punish low mobility.
Be cautious contesting objectives if your lanes lack priority, as Nasus can 1v2 with his scaling power.

Early game

Full clear quickly to reach level 3 and then decide between invading or contesting Scuttle based on lane priority.
Invade Nasus's jungle when nearby lanes have priority to punish his slow early clear and low mobility.
Avoid fighting Nasus near his tower or when enemy lanes lack pressure to prevent counter-invades.

Power spikes

Level 6 empowers Nasus's durability and repeated fight threat; avoid extended fights during his (R) duration.
Udyr's early level 3 and empowered stance grant strong dueling; use this to invade or contest camps before Nasus scales.
Udyr's first completed item spike enhances objective control and dueling; leverage this to force fights or secure objectives.

Win conditions

Use Udyr's elite clear speed and dueling to deny Nasus free farm and stack buildup early.
Convert jungle tempo into early dragon and Rift Herald control to pressure side lanes before Nasus scales.
Maintain river vision and track Nasus's pathing to counter-gank and prevent his side-lane scaling threats.
