Guide to Countering Jinx as Nasus

Tips for Playing as Nasus against Jinx

Paying attention to last hitting with Siphoning Strike will have a large impact at the end of a game.

If you're solo, Spirit Fire is a great way to farm a lane. It can be bad if you're in a lane with 2 and you push too far. Find the right balance between Siphoning Strike last hits and AoE farming.

If you have low defenses, people will focus you down even during your ultimate. Try buying some survivability items even in your DPS builds.

Advice to Win Against Jinx

Jinx's ultimate does less damage the closer you are to her.

Jinx's minigun takes time to ramp up. If you see her poking with rockets try to jump on her and burst her down.

Jinx's snare grenades have a long cooldown and are her primary means of protecting herself. If she misses with them she will have a hard time escaping if engaged upon.
