How to win lane as Kled against Nasus · 57.53% win rate over 259 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Nasus is a non-threat at 1, but so are you — preserve Skaarl's health and set up the wave for your level-2 spike instead of trading into nothing. |
| Level 2 | Kled | W comes online and your fourth-attack shotgun shots plus Q's percent-HP damage out-trade a stackless Nasus who has no poke to answer. |
| Level 3 | Kled | With Q+E+W you land the full re-E all-in — E in, W shots, re-E back, Q sweetspot — and chunk him far harder than his single-Q can hit back. |
| Levels 4-5 | Kled | Your remount sustain and stacking W procs win every extended trade while his Q is still too weak to threaten Skaarl's bar. |
| Level 6 | Kled | R charges him out of W-wither range and knocks him back to extend the kill, denying the safe stacking he needs to scale. |
| First item | Kled | Your Eclipse/Trinity sheen burst through Skaarl's free health bar stat-checks him off the wave at his weakest farming window — force every all-in now. |
| Two+ items | Nasus | Past two items his stacked Q one-shots Skaarl and W-wither turns off your W shots and re-E — his infinite scaling reclaims the duel, so the lane had to be closed before this. |
Nasus has nothing for you levels 1-3 — no escape, no poke, and a W-wither he wants to save for your all-in. Concede level 1 to protect Skaarl's health, then at 2-3 go in: E through him, W for the on-hit shotgun shots, then re-E back and weave Q for the percent-max-HP chunk. Every stack you deny him now is damage that never exists on his Q. The one thing to respect is his W — if he withers you mid-combo your attack speed tanks, so bait it or commit when it's down.
