How to win lane as Nautilus against Blitzcrank · 51.66% win rate over 6,516 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Blitzcrank | Blitzcrank wins level 1 because one Rocket Grab kills before you have your kit online. |
| Level 2 | Nautilus | You take level 2 once W-E lets you punish a whiffed grab during its long cooldown. |
| Level 3 | Nautilus | You lead level 3 by hugging minions to deny hooks and trading on your terms. |
| Levels 4-5 | Nautilus | You stay ahead 4-5 punishing every missed grab with a full all-in. |
| Level 6 | Nautilus | You win level 6 because unstoppable Depth Charge beats his single-target hook threat. |
| First item | Nautilus | Your first-item tankiness lets you body-block grabs and survive his whole combo. |
| Two+ items | Nautilus | You keep the edge at 2+ items: guaranteed CC out-scales his boom-or-bust pick. |
Level 1 belongs to Blitzcrank: a single Rocket Grab on you or your ADC is a near-guaranteed kill, so respect his range and hug the minion wall until you hit 2. Don't step up to trade while his Q is available.
