Levels 4-5CamilleShe controls the wave and pokes with Tactical Sweep while you hoard stacks playing not to die.
Level 6CamilleHer R cage isolates you with no escape — the single worst window before your items come in.
First itemCamilleShe still edges the duel, but Hookshot needs a wall — fight in open lane and Wither the dash.

How to beat Camille as Nasus: the early game

Camille's whole early game is Hookshot — it knocks you up out of nowhere and lets her stack a Precision Protocol proc and Tactical Sweep on top before you can react. At levels 1-2 you have no answer to that burst, so just soak Q last-hits with your Soul Eater lifesteal and accept the chip. Hookshot has to grab a wall, so out in the open lane she cannot open on you at all. Use Spirit Fire to stack and shove from range instead of stepping into auto range.
