Guide to Countering Wukong as Nasus

Tips for Playing as Nasus against Wukong

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

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 Wukong

Wukong becomes tougher to kill when surrounded by his enemies. Try to isolate him to gain an advantage.

Wukong will often use Decoy after Nimbus Strike. Try delaying your abilities by a short amount of time to ensure that you're hitting the real Wukong.
