Nasus vs Quinn

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Focus on safe (Q) stacking early to survive Quinn's ranged poke and high lane pressure.
Prioritize a passive lane state to avoid Quinn's harassment and reach your high scaling potential.
This is a scale versus snowball matchup where Nasus must endure early pressure to become a side-lane threat.

Trading pattern

Trade only when (W) is available to slow Quinn and prevent her escape, enabling (Q) stacks.
Avoid fighting when (W) is down or (E) is ready to disengage and kite.
Use (R) to extend fights only if Quinn cannot kite you out of range for repeated (Q) hits.

Danger windows

Be cautious pre-level 6 when Quinn's ranged poke and (E) disengage dominate trades.
Avoid extended fights if (E) is available to kite and blind your autos with (Q).
Punish Quinn's roam attempts by hard pushing wave and taking plates or calling for jungle assistance.

Early game

Avoid extended fights before level 6 and high (Q) stacks to minimize Quinn's poke advantage.
Keep the wave near your side to safely farm and stack (Q) without overextending.
Use (W) cautiously to punish Quinn when she overcommits, but avoid wasting it when she can disengage with (E).

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to survive longer trades and punish Quinn if she stays in range.
Once you have high (Q) stacks, pressure side lanes to force Quinn to respond and create map pressure.
Respect Quinn's level 6 (R) roam potential by playing near turret and pinging roams to avoid losing tempo.

Win conditions

Survive early lane harassment to safely stack (Q) and reach your scaling threshold.
Use (W) and (R) to punish Quinn's overextensions in side lanes once you have meaningful stacks.
Force isolated duels where your durability and stacked (Q) damage outmatch Quinn's mobility and poke.
