Use Fiora's mobility and vital procs to pressure Nasus early and deny his safe stacking farm.
Avoid giving Nasus a passive lane state where he can freely stack (Q) and scale into a late-game juggernaut.
This is a splitpush vs scaling juggernaut matchup; Fiora must leverage early and mid-game lane agency to prevent Nasus from reaching his power spikes.
Trading pattern
Take short trades by proccing vitals with (Q) and back off before Nasus can retaliate with (W) slow or stack damage.
Save (W) to parry (W) or any key crowd control to turn trades in your favor.
After hitting level 6, use (R) to force extended duels where you can chase and proc multiple vitals, but disengage if Nasus activates (R) and you cannot kite effectively.
Danger windows
Nasus is dangerous when he has high (Q) stacks and (R) active; avoid extended trades during this window.
Be cautious when (W) slow is available as it can lock you down for his follow-up damage.
After using (W), Fiora is vulnerable to crowd control; avoid forcing trades until (W) is back up.
Early game
Use (Q) to hit accessible vitals for short trades while preserving (W) to parry (W) slow or any predictable counter-engage.
Keep the wave in a position that forces Nasus to farm under tower, limiting his safe stack accumulation.
Avoid extended fights before level 6 when Nasus's durability and (R) are not yet threats, but respect his (W) slow to not get caught out.
Power spikes
At level 6, use (R) to create healing zones and extend duels, forcing Nasus into fights he wants to avoid.
First dueling item spike enables stronger side-lane pressure; use this to isolate Nasus and force him to respond.
Respect Nasus's level 6 (R) power spike which grants durability and repeated (Q) threat; avoid prolonged fights when he has it active and you cannot disengage.
Win conditions
Deny Nasus safe stacking by pressuring early with (Q) vital procs and wave control.
Use (R) and item spikes to force isolated side-lane duels where Fiora's mobility and true damage excel.
Maintain lane agency to prevent Nasus from scaling into a tanky threat, then splitpush to create pressure and force enemy responses.
