Guide to Countering Twitch as Nasus

Tips for Playing as Nasus against Twitch

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 Twitch

Spell Shields won't block the damage from Deadly Venom, but they will block the effects Twitch can trigger with it.

If you suspect Twitch has left the lane, let your teammates know that Twitch is ''MIA.''

Twitch is fragile. Work with teammates to focus on him when you're able to catch him out of Camouflage.
