Tips for Playing as Nasus with Gwen
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.

Some of Gwen's Abilities can apply her passive to multiple enemies, so aim them at groups to get maximum damage and healing.
Always be Attacking - In addition to dealing bonus damage, Gwen's Attacks empower or reset many of her Abilities.

Overall, Nasus sees a very large drop in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Gwen. His KDA decreased from NaN to NaN.

When Nasus plays on the same team as Gwen, he gets a noticable drop in his full damage output. This change may demonstrate that Gwen does not support by providing cover for him to deal more damage or that her support also helps increase the game's duration. Similarly, when Nasus is played with Gwen on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when he plays on his own. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing synergisticly with Gwen.
Additionally, when Nasus plays with Gwen on the same team, he on average receives a little less damage than when he fights alone. Getting dealt not as much damage may mean that Gwen does a decent job of protecting Nasus in teamfights.

Is Nasus better when played alongside Gwen?
There is no one best companion for Nasus that will 100% of the time be his ideal ally. Yet, Gwen is a very bad teammate for Nasus. By locking into the same side as Nasus, she decreases their win rate by -3.6% to 46.7%. This clearly indicates that there is an easy to overcome and exploit strategic relationship between Nasus and Gwen that results in them performing worse together than alone.
Gwen has a lower difficulty than Nasus. That means you don't need to be very careful when arranging Gwen allies to fight alongside, as they will need a relatively low level of skill to do well with you.
Fighting on the same side, you will likely observe an overall large increase in your team’s capability to dish out massive AD. Combined, these two should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.
Although, by pairing Nasus and Gwen together, you probably will not be granting your other teammates much crowd control. We recommend you bring other champions on your team that fills this gap in their capabilities.
Regardless of the skill of your Gwen ally, you should focus on maximizing your gold income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and taking down objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you should do well anyway.
