How to win lane as Ziggs against Nasus · 55.56% win rate over 9 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Ziggs | You bully immobile Nasus off the wave at Lvl 1 with Q poke. |
| Level 2 | Ziggs | Lvl 2 he still can't clear or reach you, so you keep zoning his stacks. |
| Level 3 | Ziggs | Lvl 3 your range and E minefield deny his Siphoning Strike farm. |
| Levels 4-5 | Ziggs | Levels 4-5 you out-poke him freely while he lacks Wither uptime. |
| Level 6 | Ziggs | Lvl 6 his R adds health but no gap-close, so you keep chunking him. |
| First item | Ziggs | At first item your range and Liandry's poke outscale his stacks so far. |
| Two+ items | Nasus | Late game a stacked Nasus Wither plus R turns any catch into your death. |
Nasus is helpless at range early — he has no wave clear and no mobility, so bully him off the wave with Q Bouncing Bomb and drop E Hexplosive Minefield on the caster minions to starve his Siphoning Strike stacks. Every trade he takes to stack is a trade he loses.
