Nasus vs Singed

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Nasus must focus on safe farming and stacking (Q) to outscale Singed's early and mid-game pressure.
Avoid giving Singed a passive lane state where he can proxy or force bad chases, as Nasus has low early lane pressure.
This is a scale versus control matchup; Nasus aims to survive early and become a side-lane threat with high (Q) stacks and (R) durability.

Trading pattern

Trade only when (W) is available to slow Singed and when you have enough (Q) stacks to make your damage meaningful.
Avoid fighting when (W) is down or Singed has (R) active, as his speed and durability make him hard to punish.
Use (R) to hold ground in extended fights where Singed cannot kite you fully, converting (Q) stacks into strong damage.

Danger windows

Be cautious when (R) is active, as he can survive deeper paths and extended fights, making trades risky.
Avoid overextending when (W) is down, as you lose your main tool to slow and punish Singed's mobility.
Watch for enemy jungler ganks especially if you push the wave too far; Nasus can 1v2 if ahead but is vulnerable if behind early.

Early game

Prioritize last-hitting with (Q) near your side to safely build stacks without overextending.
Use (W) to punish Singed when he overcommits or walks into your range, especially before he activates (R).
Avoid extended trades before level 6, as Nasus lacks early agency and (E) displacement and (W) slow can punish you.

Power spikes

At level 6, activate (R) to gain durability and extended fight potential; force Singed to respect your sustained threat.
Once you have high (Q) stacks and a defensive or sheen-style item, pressure side lanes to force Singed into unfavorable duels.
Respect Singed's level 6 (R) spike which grants him speed and durability; avoid chasing through his poison during this window.

Win conditions

Survive the early lane by safe farming and stacking (Q) without losing too much health to Singed's poke.
Use (W) and (R) to punish Singed when he overextends or tries to fight in side lanes after you reach key stack and durability thresholds.
Pressure side lanes to force Singed to respond, leveraging your superior dueling potential with high (Q) stacks and extended fights.
