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

Never near his tower

His W has almost permanent uptime — caught by his tower, he keeps slowing you while slapping you with empowered autos.

Starve his Q

Your main goal is denying Q stacks — expect a mind-numbingly boring game, not a kill.

Tank build = no kill

Most Nasus build full tank, which means you definitely don't kill him — play for the rest of the map.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never dump your full combo on him in a fight — he tanks it and leaves you rooted and dead afterward.
