Warwick vs Nasus

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Warwick should pressure early to deny Nasus safe stacks and prevent his scaling.
Focus on extended melee fights to out-sustain and punish Nasus before he becomes durable.
This is a snowball vs scale matchup where Warwick must leverage early agency to shut down Nasus's late-game threat.

Trading pattern

Engage in extended melee trades using (Q) healing and hold (E) for Nasus's burst or (W) slow moments.
Use (R) to lock down Nasus when he overcommits or drops low health.
Punish Nasus after he uses (W) early or misses (R) to reduce his durability advantage.

Danger windows

Beware (W) slow combined with (R) active for extended fights; avoid prolonged trades during this window.
Warwick is vulnerable if (E) is used prematurely before Nasus's burst damage lands.
After missing (R), Warwick loses pick threat; play cautiously until (R) is back up.

Early game

Take advantage of Warwick's high early agency to force trades before Nasus stacks (Q).
Use (E) to absorb Nasus's initial burst and fear to disrupt his slow attempts.
Avoid letting Nasus freeze the wave near his tower; keep wave control to deny safe farming.

Power spikes

Warwick's level 3 power spike allows strong dueling with full kit; use (E) and (Q) to sustain and chase.
Warwick's level 6 unlocks (R) for suppression; bait movement to land (R) and force picks or all-ins.
Respect Nasus's level 6 (R) which grants durability; disengage or punish before he stacks damage.

Win conditions

Win by denying Nasus safe stacking through early pressure and wave control.
Use extended trades with (Q) healing and (E) fear to out-sustain and force Nasus low.
Secure kills or force summoner spells with (R) suppression on overextended or low-health Nasus to snowball lane lead.
