Leans Split — its strongest of the five comp axes.

Ranked by how close their five-axis heatmap looks — role-agnostic.
Where it thrives (5-comp fit)
- Splitnatural · 80%
- Attackforced · 20%
- Protectforced · 10%
- Nasus grinds down the sidelane through raw durability and drags the map apart. Enough Attack sits in the kit to fight front-to-back when the enemy forces it. Soul Eater passive gives flat 12-24% lifesteal scaling by level, his only sustain tool but a strong one.
Kit quirks
- Soul Eater passive gives flat 12-24% lifesteal scaling by level, his only sustain tool but a strong one
- Q (Siphoning Strike) stacks permanently on any kill (3 on minion/monster, 12 on champion/large monster), so his damage scales indefinitely the longer the game runs
- R transformation halves Q cooldown and adds a damaging aura on top of the bonus HP/resistances, turning him into a genuine teamfight bruiser rather than just a split-push stat-check

- Bonus Physical Damage
- 30 / 50 / 70 / 90 / 110 (+ 100% of Siphoning Strike stacks)
If Siphoning Strike kills the target, Nasus permanently gains 4 stacks, increased to 10 if the target is a champion, large minion, or large monster.
Siphoning Strike resets Nasus' basic attack timer.

Notes (6)
- Both Siphoning Strike's base damage and damage from stacks are treated as basic damage but also trigger spell effects by also being tagged as spell damage.
- The basic attack is also considered a part of Siphoning Strike and treated as both basic damage and spell damage.
- Nasus can gain Siphoning Strike stacks by killing any enemy unit, this includes champions, minions, monsters, wards, turrets, and pets.
- Jungle plants and structures that are not turrets (e.g. inhibitors) will not grant stacks.
- Siphoning Strike will not generate stacks from secondary units killed by other effects (e.g. Tiamat).
- Siphoning Strike will trigger Tear of the Goddess' Manaflow.
Map-specific differences (5)
- Per-kill stacks changed to 6.
- Per-large-kill stacks changed to 24.

Notes (6)
- Wither interrupts the target's attack windup when it is first applied. (bug)
- If Wither's duration is affected by Tenacity the effects will apply slower (negative tenacity percentage) or faster (positive tenacity percentage) so the maximum values are still reached when the modified duration ends.
- Wither's cripple effectiveness calculates from its slow's base values, thus slow resist will not interact with the attack speed modifier indirectly.
- Both slow and cripple from Wither are considered to be a single debuff.(unexpected)
- Therefore, slow immunity will prevent both, even without technical cripple immunity.
- If the target becomes untargetable, dies, or is too far away or no longer in sight during the cast time, this ability will cancel but does not go on cooldown nor pay its cost (if applicable).
E
Spirit Fire
Cost: 60 / 70 / 80 / 90 / 100 ManaCooldown: 12Cast time: 0.25Target range: 650Effect radius: 400 • 200
