Guide to Synergizing Thresh and Nasus

Tips for Playing as Thresh with Nasus

Communication is key when making use of Thresh's lantern. Let your teammates know how you like to use it.

Death Sentence and Flay can be combined in either cast order for powerful combinations.

Thresh can collect souls without needing to kill units himself. Planning your map position to be near the most deaths will help to maximize soul collection.

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 Thresh in LoL

Overall, Thresh sees a very large drop in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Nasus. His KDA fell from NaN to NaN. This drop shows that Nasus helps Thresh perform not as well in ranked League of Legends rounds. Yet, the small difference demonstrates that this performance change is not very impactful.

When Thresh tries to synergize with Nasus, he gets a little decrease in his full damage output. This change may demonstrate that Nasus does not support by providing cover for him to dish out more damage or that his participation also helps increase the game's duration. Similarly, when Thresh is played alongside Nasus on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when he plays alone. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing with Nasus.

Additionally, when Thresh plays with Nasus on the same side, he on average takes a little less damage than when he fights alone. Receiving not as much damage could mean that Nasus does a decent job of covering Thresh during teamfights.

There is no top champion pairing for Thresh that will always be his top teammate. However, Nasus is a very typical teammate for Thresh. By playing on the same side as Thresh, he improves their win rate by 0.5% to 49.0%. This shows that there is only a small bond between Thresh and Nasus that allows them to perform stronger together than alone.

Nasus has a lower difficulty than Thresh. That means you don't need to be cautious when lining up Nasus allies to fight alongside, as they will require a lower level of skill to play well with you.

When playing on the same side, you should expect to witness an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to dish out massive AD. Combined, these champs can provide a great amount of sustained physical damage.

In contrast, by pairing Thresh and Nasus together, you probably will not be granting your side a great deal of engage. Make sure to bring other champions on your team that neutralizes this relative disparity in their abilities.

Regardless of your Nasus ally's ability, you should focus on increasing your gold income, outlasting your enemies, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you should do well anyway.
