How to win lane as Lillia against Nasus · 66.67% win rate over 9 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 you have only one ability and no kite chain, so you concede the opening and just farm Q from range — but so does a slow, stack-hungry Nasus. |
| Level 2 | Lillia | Your Q sweetspot plus E slow start the Dream Dust burn and the stacking move speed makes you uncatchable for a dash-less melee — chip him off every step-up. |
| Level 3 | Lillia | Full Q layering plus the compounding DoT means every Siphoning Strike he walks up for costs him HP, and you kite out before Wither can land. |
| Levels 4-5 | Lillia | This is your best lane window — full Q rank, the burn compounding, and mana to poke let you grind down a melee who has to walk at you to farm. |
| Level 6 | Lillia | Lilting Lullaby gives you a real but delayed sleep — a situational anti-engage or jungler-setup tool, not a solo kill, but it's another reason he can never commit. |
| First item | Lillia | Liandry's/Riftmaker turns your W and Dream Dust into percent-HP damage that shreds his drain-tank body far faster than his Q can catch you. |
| Two+ items | Nasus | A fully-stacked Nasus reclaims it — Wither shuts off your kite and his stacked Q plus R lifesteal out-sustain your DoT, so close before this or pivot to teamfights. |
Level 1 I concede — I only have one ability and no kite chain, so I just farm Q from range and don't get greedy. From level 2-3 it becomes mine: layering the Q sweetspot with the E slow starts the Dream Dust burn, and the stacking Q move speed plus my passive make me uncatchable for a Nasus with no dash. The one thing that beats me is Wither, so never sit in W range stacking marks — chip from the edge and the only counterplay he has is to eat it and lose Q stacks.
