Guide to Synergizing Darius and Nasus

Tips for Playing as Darius with Nasus

Noxian Guillotine does more damage the more attacks you can land prior to it. Use Noxian Might to deal maximum damage.

Darius benefits greatly from enhanced survivability. The longer you can prolong a fight, the more powerful he becomes.

Decimate is a powerful harassment ability. Strike an enemy from maximum range for the greatest effect.

Advice to Understand How Nasus Will Play

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.
