Darius vs Nasus in Top lane is a lane that swings with levels on patch 26.14. The one thing to respect: respect his scaling — a freely farmed Nasus Q wins the late 1v1. Below is the exact page the OTP runs — runes, skill max order, summoner spells, item build and the four tips that decide the lane, plus a quick quiz before you lock in.

How to play it

✓ DO

Deny his Q stacks

Respect his scaling — if he farms freely his Q stacks up and he can take the 1v1 later.

Run him down early

Zone him at level 1 with W, then E him in the instant he steps up for a minion and run him down.

Crash and freeze

Do a 2-wave crash, let it bounce, and hold it your side so he can only farm with E.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never let the wave sit by his tower where he can safely stack Q — freeze it your side.
