Read from Warwick's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Nasus.
This is Warwick's own plan; across 615 pooled games the lane is leaning Nasus.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Warwick | Level 1 favours you because Nasus has no Wither or stacks and simply farms while you control the wave. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Level 2 is even since neither of you has a full combo and Nasus just wants to reach Q stacking safely. |
| Level 3 | Warwick | Level 3 is yours: Jaws' max-health bite and Primal Howl win trades before stacks matter. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 are skill-based as Nasus starts landing Q stacks under tower and trades become a tempo race. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Level 6 swings back to you because Infinite Duress suppresses through Wither and bursts him down. |
| First item | Even / skill | First item is even — your bruiser spike matches his early Sheen and Spirit Fire while stacks slowly accumulate. |
| Two+ items | Warwick | Two-plus items favours Nasus: hundreds of Q stacks, Spirit Fire shred, and Wither make him unkillable in a duel. |
Levels 1-2 are yours: Nasus has no Wither yet and can only farm, so poke him with Q and deny cannon stacks while Blood Hunt marks him when he's low.
