MATCHUPNasus · Top · Patch 26.14 · Ranked Solo · Updated Jul 22, 2026

Nasus vs Gwen in Top lane is a lane to avoid on patch 26.14. The one thing to respect: her fully-stacked Q — the big burst hit; sidestep it since she's rooted while casting. 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
Dodge her stacked Q
Don't get hit by her quadruple-stacked Q — she can't move while casting it, so you have room to step out.
Never all-in her
She turns super tanky the moment you commit — all-ins lose even with Sheen, so just don't.
Farm and group
You can't 1v1 her, so TP to side lanes or group with your team and stack safely instead.
DON'T
Never all-in her — she becomes super tanky the instant you commit and you lose the fight every time.
