Nasus vs Lillia

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Focus on full clears to match Lillia's fast tempo and avoid early low-health fights that her mobility and sleep can punish.
Prioritize river vision and contest Scuttle when your lanes have priority to limit Lillia's objective control.
This is a scaling versus tempo jungle matchup; survive early pressure and leverage stacked (Q) for side-lane dominance later.

Jungle Plan

Prioritize full clears and tempo resets to keep pace with Lillia's cycling and avoid low-health vulnerability.
Use vision control to contest dragon and Herald only when your lanes have priority and can force Lillia into unfavorable fights.
Track Lillia's first clear path to set up counter-ganks or invade camps when she is low on health or out of position.

Danger windows

Early clears at low health are vulnerable to Lillia's high mobility and sleep setup; avoid fighting during these.
Isolated river fights before level 6 and (R) are risky due to Lillia's crowd control and movement speed.
Forced smite fights on dragon or Herald without lane priority increase risk of losing objectives to Lillia's control.

Early game

Start with a full clear to maintain health and match Lillia's fast AoE clear speed.
Only contest first Scuttle if nearby lanes can pressure or if you have level 6 and (R) ready for counter-ganks.
Avoid isolated river fights and early invades before (R) and significant (Q) stacks are available.

Power spikes

Level 6 (R) grants durability and extended fight potential; use it to contest objectives and counter-gank Lillia's engages.
High (Q) stacks turn Nasus into a major dueling threat; apply side-lane pressure to force Lillia to respond and open map control.
First defensive or sheen-style item improves clear speed and survivability, enabling safer counter-jungling and objective control.

Win conditions

Use superior scaling and stacked (Q) to pressure side lanes, forcing Lillia to respond and creating map openings.
Convert river vision and Scuttle control into safer objective takes when Lillia is forced to farm or reset.
Counter-gank effectively around level 6 and item breakpoints to deny Lillia tempo and secure map control for stacking and splitpushing.
