Nasus vs Lee Sin

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Focus on safe early clears and avoid river fights where Lee Sin's level 3 mobility and burst dominate.
Prioritize stacking (Q) and scaling through controlled jungle tempo rather than early aggression.
Use side-lane pressure after reaching key stack and level 6 thresholds to force Lee Sin into reactive plays.

Jungle Plan

Prioritize full clears and safe (Q) stacking before contesting river fights or invading Lee Sin.
Fight for first Scuttle Crab only if nearby lanes have priority to prevent Lee Sin from snowballing early.
Track Lee Sin's pathing to position for counter-ganks and leverage side-lane pressure to deny his tempo.

Danger windows

Lee Sin's level 3 early river moves and invade attempts are high-risk; avoid overextending without vision.
Isolated river fights before Nasus reaches key stacks or level 6 can result in losing tempo and objectives.
Forced smite fights around dragon or Herald are dangerous if Lee Sin has lane priority or better positioning.

Early game

Start with a three-camp clear to hit level 3 before contesting river or scuttle.
Avoid invading unless nearby lanes have priority to support counter-invades against Lee Sin's early pressure.
Place vision around river and scuttle crab to anticipate Lee Sin's early skirmishes and ganks.

Power spikes

Level 6 (R) grants durability and extended fight potential; use it to hold ground against Lee Sin's engages.
High (Q) stacks make Nasus a strong duelist; pressure side lanes once stacks and durability are sufficient.
Respect Lee Sin's level 3 spike when he gains full kit and invade potential; avoid isolated fights before this point.

Win conditions

Use safe early clears and lane priority to deny Lee Sin river control and contest Scuttle Crabs.
Scale through stacking (Q) and leverage (R) durability to win extended duels in side lanes, forcing enemy responses.
Convert side-lane pressure into objective control by coordinating with lanes that have priority to secure dragons and Heralds.
