How to win lane as K'Sante against Nasus · 54.24% win rate over 601 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | You both have weak Level 1s — he only has Q to last-hit, you only have Q with no engage, so just deny his early stacks and farm. |
| Level 2 | K'Sante | You pick up W or E and become safer while he still has no Wither and no stacks — start contesting his last-hits. |
| Level 3 | K'Sante | Your full Q-W combo is online: W a committed Nasus and Q3 knock-up to deny stacks before he ever gets Wither. |
| Levels 4-5 | K'Sante | Your tank lane-control peak — you trade around his cooldowns and shove him off the wave so his Q never ramps. |
| Level 6 | K'Sante | All Out makes you a duelist who survives his slow drain — dash through and run him down before his R lifesteal turns the fight. |
| First item | K'Sante | Iceborn Gauntlet makes you a sticky disruptive wall — freeze and perma-shove so he can't safely stack Q. |
| Two+ items | Nasus | He out-scales hard: a 300+ stack Q plus Wither ignores your armor and his R lifesteal out-duels you — your armor stacking is useless here. |
Nasus is helpless at Level 1-2 — he has no stacks, no Wither until later, and just wants to last-hit with Q. Don't let him free-farm: at Level 3 you have the full Q-W combo, so W a Nasus who walks up to stack, then Q3 to knock him up and deny those last-hits. Every stack you deny is permanent damage off his late game, so trade hard and shove him off the wave while his only answer is to soak Wither-less.
