Poppy into Nasusmedium

Overview

Use Poppy's strong early dueling and anti-dash tools to contest river and invade Nasus before he scales.
Prioritize early objective control and disrupt Nasus's smite fights with displacement.
Deny Nasus free jungle farm and stacking time to delay his late-game threat.

Path to lanes where wall stuns and dash denial punish Nasus's low mobility.
Invade Nasus early to deny jungle camps and stacking before his scaling breakpoint.
Use to remove Nasus from dragon or Rift Herald fights, forcing 4v3 or resetting bad contests.

Beware 15-20 minute mark when Nasus's stacks and make him a serious threat.
Avoid river skirmishes without lane priority or vision to prevent getting caught by Nasus's slow.
Watch for forced smite fights where Nasus's durability and slow punish low-health clears or overcommitments.

Start with a three-camp clear into early gank or invade near terrain to maximize wall stun threat.
Fight for first Scuttle when nearby lanes have priority to secure river control and deny Nasus vision.
Avoid fights when Nasus has side-lane priority or when nearby lanes can't support counter-ganks.

At level 6, use to disengage or isolate Nasus before he stacks damage.
After first tank item, hold for Nasus's rare engages and fight near walls for reliable stuns.
Respect Nasus's level 6 spike and high stacks by avoiding extended fights.

Convert early invade and river control into denying Nasus jungle farm and stacking time.
Use ganks that capitalize on wall stuns and dash denial to snowball lanes.
Leverage displacement to secure or reset objectives, maintaining tempo and preventing Nasus side-lane pressure.
