| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 is skill-based: your stack-denial pressure trades against his need to just farm. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 remain a skill window as you contest stacks while he has no punish. |
| Level 6 | Tryndamere | At 6 your R all-in beats a Nasus whose Wither and stacks aren't yet enough to survive. |
| First item | Tryndamere | After your first crit item you out-DPS an unstacked Nasus in a straight duel. |
| Two+ items | Nasus | By 2+ items Nasus's tank stats, Wither slow and stacked Q let him tank your R and kill you. |
Levels 1-2 are even farming — Nasus can't punish you and you can't kill him yet, so just secure CS and match his shove without taking free harass.
