Viego's jungle strength lies in skirmishes and reset fights, so prioritize river control where lanes can assist in securing the first takedown.
Avoid early isolated fights before you have item progress or lane support to prevent being punished by Nasus's scaling potential.
This matchup is a snowball vs scale scenario; use early jungle tempo to deny Nasus free farm and scaling opportunities.
Jungle Plan
Path toward lanes with strong CC or kill pressure to leverage your (W) stun and secure early takedowns.
Fight for first Scuttle only when your lanes can collapse quickly to convert river control into objectives.
Use resets from kills to snowball into dragon or Rift Herald control, avoiding direct smite contests without lane priority.
Danger windows
Beware of early isolated river fights before you have lane support or item power spikes, as Nasus can punish you if you overcommit.
Avoid low-health clears or forced smite fights where Nasus's durability and slow (W) can turn the tide.
Be cautious when Nasus reaches 15-20 minutes with high (Q) stacks and active (R), as his threat in extended fights rises sharply.
Early game
Start with a clear that allows you to reach river scuttle timely and contest it only if nearby lanes have priority.
Avoid early invades unless you have vision and lane assistance to capitalize on Nasus's low early pressure.
Prioritize tracking Nasus's pathing to anticipate his side-lane pressure and be ready to counter-gank with your stun (W).
Power spikes
Level 6 unlocks (R) for execute and repositioning, enabling you to start reset chains; seek skirmishes where one low target can trigger this.
First fighter item completion boosts your sustained dueling and reset potential; fight around lanes that can move first to convert kills into objectives.
Respect Nasus's level 6 (R) and stacking (Q) power spikes by avoiding extended fights without resets and punishing his low mobility early.
Win conditions
Convert early skirmish resets into objective control by prioritizing dragon and Rift Herald when lanes have priority.
Use your (E) camouflage and (W) stun to create gank angles and counter-ganks, denying Nasus free side-lane scaling.
Snowball takedowns into vision control and tempo advantages to prevent Nasus from safely stacking (Q) and becoming a split-push threat.
