How to win lane as Sejuani against Nasus · 51.61% win rate over 93 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Both champions are level-1 dead weight — Nasus takes W to Q-last-hit and Sejuani takes W to wave-clear; neither can force a trade without kit. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Q gives Sejuani an exit route and a single knock-up threat, but Nasus's Wither already makes extended trades dangerous — use the dash to leave, not to start. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Full Permafrost combo (Q knock-up, double W Frost, E stun) comes online and Nasus is an immobile melee with no dash, making him the exact candidate the chain was designed for. |
| Levels 4-5 | Sejuani | Wither is on a 15-second CD and Frost stacks accumulate passively — any time Wither is down, Sejuani owns a clean Q-W-E window that Nasus cannot escape. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Glacial Prison online: Sejuani can now open a gank from max range with a long stun, chaining directly into Permafrost for a two-CC kill setup no immobile scaler survives. |
| First item | Nasus | Nasus's Sheen spike and Spirit Visage purchase make his Q-enhanced autos chunk through Sejuani's building resistances — she can no longer win the extended duel she starts. |
| Two+ items | Nasus | Full-stack Nasus with two items outsustains any damage Sejuani can produce in a 1v1; her role is multi-man R chains at objectives, not lane combat. |
Level 1 is a wash for both — take W, last-hit, and do not auto into Wither range for free. At level 2 your Q is online but it is an escape tool first, an engage tool second; if he walks up to Q-last-hit a cannon, you can walk forward and threaten, but never spend the dash unless you know exactly where you are landing. Level 3 is the first real moment: W's first strike slow, second strike Frost, then Permafrost stun him in place — if he is caught stepping onto your side of the wave this combo chunks him meaningfully and you walk before his Wither is back. Do not overstay; Nasus's Spirit's Visage path makes him surprisingly tanky once the trade drags past your burst window.
