How to win lane as Nasus against Fiora · 53.58% win rate over 573 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Fiora | Fiora's Q dash and passive vital true damage out-trade you at level 1 — you have no Wither and almost no stacks to answer. |
| Level 2 | Fiora | She still owns level 2: her vitals shred your HP bar while you only soak Q farm with no way to lock her down. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | With Wither up you can finally cripple her Q-in, but she still wins extended trades — it comes down to who plays the dash and slow better. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | You're hoarding stacks and she's poking vitals; whoever respects the W-versus-dash timing takes the trade, so it's genuinely even. |
| Level 6 | Fiora | Her level-6 Grand Challenge opens all four vitals and heals her, and she can W-parry your committed ult or cast to burst your fat HP with true damage. |
| First item | Nasus | Sheen/Iceborn empowers your Q and Wither neuters her dash spacing and attack speed — your first item is where you out-duel her. |
| Two+ items | Nasus | Stacked Q plus Wither and ult-HP grind her down as the durable scaler — you own the splitpush 1v1 unless she snowballed lane. |
Levels 1-3 belong to Fiora and you have to respect it. Her Q dashes onto you to proc a vital, and her passive does percent-max-HP true damage that your Soul Eater lifesteal cannot out-heal yet — so don't greed Q autos in her face. Last-hit with the tip of Siphoning Strike, soak stacks, and concede the lane. Once you hit 3 and have Wither, you finally have an answer: if she dashes in to all-in, W her to kill her movement speed and attack speed so she can't chain vitals, then walk away.
