How to win lane as Nasus against Quinn · 45.3% win rate over 351 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Quinn | Her E vault blinds your Q auto and knocks you off the wave while Harrier move speed kites you — you can't stack and you can't catch her. |
| Level 2 | Quinn | She pokes with autos and Harrier procs and skips away before you trade back; you have no ranged answer but slow Spirit Fire DoT. |
| Level 3 | Quinn | Wither is online but she baits it and walks off with nimble move speed — you lock her for one trade at best, then she resets the kite. |
| Levels 4-5 | Quinn | You're shoving-or-poked, hoarding stacks under tower with Spirit Fire and playing not to die while she controls every step of the lane. |
| Level 6 | Nasus | Fury of the Sands plus an instant Wither slow is your one window — if she poke-steps into melee, ult range plus the slow can punish one greedy mistake. |
| First item | Quinn | Her Eclipse/Galeforce first item spikes her burst and roam range — she trades you off the wave and snowballs the map while you have no items. |
| Two+ items | Quinn | A fed Quinn kites your immobile single-target ult with E knockback, blind, and Harrier forever — splitpush to force her off the map, you won't win the 1v1. |
Quinn owns levels 1-3 completely. Her E vault knocks you back, blinds your next Q auto, and her passive Harrier gives her a move-speed burst to skip away before you can punish — so every time you step up to stack a cannon, you eat poke and get nothing. Don't chase her; you cannot catch a Quinn. Last-hit with Spirit Fire from max range to grab stacks safely and accept that she's ahead. Wither at 3 is your only lock-down tool, but she has the move speed to bait it out and walk off.
