Guide to Synergizing Nasus and Aatrox

Tips for Playing as Nasus with Aatrox

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 Understand How Aatrox Will Play

Cast World Ender when you are sure you can force a fight.

Use Umbral Dash while casting The Darkin Blade to increase your chances of hitting the enemy.

Crowd Control abilities like Infernal Chains or your allies' immobilizing effects will help you set up The Darkin Blade.

Is Nasus better when played alongside Aatrox?

There is no one best ally for Nasus that will always be his ideal synergy. Yet, Aatrox is a relatively poor teammate for Nasus. By being on the same side as Nasus, he drops their win rate by -3.0% to 47.3%. This clearly indicates that there is a harmful synergy between Nasus and Aatrox that allows them to perform not as well together than alone.

Aatrox has a lower difficulty than Nasus. That means Nasus players don't need to be cautious when enlisting Aatrox teammates to go into battle on the same side as, as they will need a relatively low level of skill to fight well with you.

Playing on the same side, you will likely observe an overall large increase in your team’s ability to deal physical damage. Together, these champions should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.

Conversely, by pairing Nasus and Aatrox together, you may not be granting your side very much crowd control. We recommend you have other champs on your team that helps cover this relative disparity in their playstyle.

Regardless of the ability of your Aatrox ally, you need to focus on increasing your income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and clearing objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you will do well anyway.
