Early game (levels 1–5)

You dominate early Nasus. He's a farm-hungry scaler forced to last-hit for Siphoning Strike (Q) stacks, with only Wither (W) for defence — and your Q Infected Bonesaw slow plus E Blunt Force Trauma out-trade his feeble early combat. Punish him every time he reaches for a stack, deny CS, and slow his scaling. This lane is won or lost right here.
