Favour timeline — the windows in Camille's game plan

Read from Camille's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Nasus.

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1Even / skillYour Level 1 is weak with a single ability, but a stack-less Nasus is no threat either — set up the lane and deny his Siphoning Strike farm.
Level 2CamilleA point in W plus your Q-recast true damage lets you out-trade him before he has any Q-stack power.
Level 3CamilleYou own short trades now — E knock-up in, W-slice for max-HP damage and sustain, and his only answer is to Wither and walk.
Levels 4-5CamillePre-stack Nasus cannot punish your dives; bait Wither, then all-in during the 15s it is down.
Level 6CamilleHextech Ultimatum isolates him with no exit and shuts off the Wither-and-walk kite — your hardest all-in lands here.
First itemCamilleYour bruiser/lethality first item out-damages a low-stack Nasus and your W shreds his max HP — force the all-in.
Two+ itemsNasusHe out-scales hard: ~200+ Q stacks plus Wither neuter your attack-speed DPS while Soul Eater lifesteal and R bulk out-drain you, so end before full build.

How to beat Nasus as Camille: the early game

Nasus is a free lane at Levels 1-3 — he has no Q stacks yet and no way to punish you, so deny his Siphoning Strike last-hits and zone him off the cannon wave. Respect Wither: the instant you E in he can slow your movement AND attack speed to a crawl and walk out, so bait it and commit inside the 15s it is down. Your Q-recast true damage and Adaptive Defenses shield win the short exchanges he is forced into.
