Viktor vs Nasus

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Viktor aims to control the lane with poke and shields while scaling into a powerful teamfight mage.
Prioritize denying Nasus a passive lane to prevent his safe stacking and scaling.

Trading pattern

Trade short with (E) poke combined with (Q) shield, avoiding prolonged fights where Nasus can stack and retaliate.
Punish Nasus when his (W) slow is down by stepping forward for trades.
Avoid placing (W) poorly; use it to zone or disengage rather than aggressive initiation.

Danger windows

Be cautious when (W) slow is available, as it can lock you down for his (Q) stacks.
Avoid extended trades during (R) active, as his durability and repeated (Q) damage increase.
Vulnerable when your (W) is down; Nasus can punish your immobility and lack of disengage.

Early game

Use (E) and (Q) shield to poke Nasus and keep him from freely stacking (Q).
Avoid extended trades before your first item and evolution; focus on wave control and spacing.
Keep (W) ready to disengage if Nasus attempts to close in with (W) slow.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) for zone control and to deter Nasus from committing to extended trades.
After completing your first mage item and evolving abilities, increase pressure and punish Nasus's attempts to farm.
Respect Nasus's level 6 (R) and high (Q) stacks as they enable him to survive longer and punish overextensions.

Win conditions

Deny Nasus safe farm and stacking by consistent poke and wave pressure after your first item.
Use (R) and evolved abilities to control space and force Nasus out of extended fights.
Focus on scaling into teamfights where your zone control and damage outmatch Nasus's dueling strength.

Tip: For Viktor vs Nasus, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Top lane check.
