Urgot vs Nasus

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Urgot must pressure Nasus early to deny safe stacking and avoid a passive lane that lets Nasus scale uncontested.
This matchup is a control vs scaling duel where Urgot uses ranged poke and execute threat to prevent Nasus from reaching his power spikes.

Trading pattern

Trade by poking from range, then punish Nasus's overcommit with (E) flip and passive legs damage.
Avoid extended fights if (E) misses or passive legs are on cooldown, as Nasus can outlast you with sustain.
Use (R) execute to finish low-health Nasus targets and force him to play around your execute threat.

Danger windows

Be cautious when Nasus has (R) active and sufficient (Q) stacks, as he can survive longer and punish extended trades.
Avoid fighting when your (E) is on cooldown or after missing it, as you become vulnerable to Nasus's slow and sustain.
Watch for Nasus using (W) to slow and force all-ins; back off or reposition to avoid being locked down.

Early game

Use ranged poke and passive legs to keep Nasus from freely last hitting and stacking (Q) during early waves.
Hold (E) to punish Nasus when he tries to engage or walk up for stacks, but avoid missing it to prevent being kited.
Maintain spacing to rotate passive legs and avoid prolonged trades before level 6 when Nasus is weak.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to threaten execute and force Nasus to respect your burst potential.
At level 9, leverage (W) uptime to sustain longer trades and pressure Nasus in side-lane duels.
Respect Nasus's level 6 (R) and high (Q) stack thresholds by disengaging extended fights and punishing his low mobility windows.

Win conditions

Deny Nasus farm and (Q) stacks early by controlling wave and poking safely.
Use (E) to punish Nasus's attempts to engage or stack, converting health leads into (R) execute pressure.
Pressure side lanes after level 9 with (W) uptime, forcing Nasus into unfavorable duels and preventing him from scaling freely.
