Quinn vs Nasus

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Quinn must use her ranged poke and (E) to deny Nasus safe farm and prevent his scaling stacks.
Prioritize lane pressure and tempo to avoid giving Nasus a passive lane and scaling advantage.
This is a snowball vs scale matchup where Quinn's early aggression and roams define the game pace.

Trading pattern

Trade short bursts with (Q) blind to reduce Nasus's return damage and disengage with (E) before he can retaliate.
Avoid extended fights where Nasus can stack (Q) and use (R) for durability.
Punish Nasus when his (W) slow is down by stepping forward for quick poke and wave control.

Danger windows

Beware when Nasus activates (R) for extended fights; avoid staying in range too long.
Be cautious if (E) is down, as (W) slow can lock you down for his damage.
Watch for enemy jungler ganks, especially if you overextend while pushing for roams.

Early game

Use (Q) and autos to harass Nasus whenever he steps up to last-hit, forcing him to miss stacks.
Hold (E) for disengage against Nasus's slow (W) and potential all-ins.
Crash waves quickly to create roam opportunities with (R) before Nasus reaches level 6.

Power spikes

At level 6, use wave crashes to roam with (R) and apply map pressure before Nasus can use his (R) effectively.
After first damage item, increase poke and burst to threaten kills on isolated Nasus.
Respect (R) power spike and avoid prolonged trades where he can stack multiple (Q) hits.

Win conditions

Dominate early lane with ranged poke and (Q) blind to deny Nasus farm and stacks.
Use wave crashes to roam with (R) and create side-lane pressure or picks.
Avoid extended fights and grouped teamfights; leverage Quinn's mobility and pick potential to snowball the game.
