Guide to Synergizing Nami and Nasus

Tips for Playing as Nami with Nasus

Nami's ultimate can come in very handy for initiating on enemies who are far away.

Using Ebb and Flow during an engagement with enemy champions will help sway the battle in your favor.

Aqua Prison has a long cooldown, make sure to use it at the right moment.

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.
