How to play it
DO
Anti-heal his Q
Rush Bramble Vest — his Q is a no-stack nuke and, without grievous wounds, he heals back all your damage off it and his passive.
Engage once you out-stat him
Farm to 6, then grab Bramble + Sheen and commit only when you clearly out-stat him — Nasus hard-wins the teamfights.
Back off level 2
He'll try to fight you at level 2 with his fear and chomp — just back off early.
DON'T
Never fight him without Bramble Vest / grievous wounds up — he out-sustains all your damage.
