Guide to Synergizing Irelia and Nasus

Tips for Playing as Irelia with Nasus

Defiant Dance is not interrupted by crowd control, try timing it for incoming disables.

Flawless Duet does not have a maximum travel distance, try using it in creative ways.

Use Bladesurge to cover great distances by targeting low life minions on your way to champion targets.

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.

How to Play with Nasus as Irelia in LoL

The Irelia Nasus synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of her gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Nasus, compared to her overall stats. Significant differences are areas of focus that highlight how her gameplay changes when paired with this other champion.

Overall, Irelia sees a very large drop in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Nasus. His KDA worsened from NaN to NaN. This decrease shows that Nasus helps Irelia perform poorer in ranked League of Legends rounds. Yet, the small difference demonstrates that this performance change is only marginal.

When Irelia plays on the same team as Nasus, she observes a barely noticable drop in her complete damage dealt. This could indicate that Nasus doesn't help protection for her to deal more damage or that his presence on the team also helps increase the match's duration. Similarly, when Irelia is played with Nasus on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when she plays without Nasus. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing alongside Nasus.

Moreover, when Irelia plays with Nasus on the same side, she often receives a little less damage than when she plays alone. Taking not as much damage could mean that Nasus does a decent job of covering Irelia during teamfights.

Is Irelia better when played alongside Nasus?

There is no perfect ally for Irelia that will 100% of the time be her best ally. However, Nasus is a very typical teammate for Irelia. By locking into the same team as Irelia, he decreases their win rate by -0.6% to 49.2%. This demonstrates that there is only a small synergy between Irelia and Nasus that results in them performing not as well together than without each other.

Nasus has a greater difficulty than Irelia. That means Irelia players must be careful when lining up Nasus comrades to play with, as they will require a greater level of skill to cooperate well with you.

Fighting cooperatively, Irelia players should observe an overall large increase in your team’s capability to destroy wih physical damage. Combined, these two should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.

In contrast, by pairing Irelia and Nasus together, you will not be providing your side much support. We recommend you have other champions on your team that nullifies this relative hole in this pairing's capabilities.

Regardless of your Nasus ally's ability, you need to focus on maximizing your income, warding to avoid ambushes, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you should do well, regardless.
