Vi vs Nasus

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Vi's high early game pressure and strong dueling let her contest river and invade before Nasus scales.
Prioritize disrupting Nasus's slow scaling by forcing early fights and denying free farm through jungle pressure.

Jungle Plan

Use efficient clears to maintain tempo and look for early ganks on overextended lanes to snowball.
Contest river vision and Scuttle when lanes can assist, denying Nasus safe stacking and objective control.
Track Nasus's pathing to counter-gank his attempts to scale safely and prioritize early dragon and Rift Herald control.

Danger windows

Nasus becomes dangerous around 15-20 minutes with high (Q) stacks and (R) active; avoid fighting him alone at this stage.
Early river fights without lane priority or vision control risk being countered by Nasus's slow and durability.
Low-health clears or forced smite fights near objectives without backup increase Vi's vulnerability to counter-invades.

Early game

Start with a three-camp clear focused on lanes where (Q) ganks can force flashes and early summoner use.
Fight for first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority to support river control.
Avoid extended fights without lane help as (W) slow punishes overcommitment.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks Vi's (R) lockdown, enabling guaranteed picks before Nasus reaches critical stack thresholds.
Vi's early clear speed and dueling strength peak before (Q) stacks make him a threat; leverage this window aggressively.
(R) and high (Q) stacks mark his scaling power; avoid isolated fights during these spikes and focus on objective control elsewhere.

Win conditions

Convert early ganks and picks secured by (Q) and (R) lockdown into dragon and Rift Herald control to deny Nasus scaling.
Use superior clear speed and map pressure to invade Nasus's jungle before he stacks, forcing him into defensive play.
Maintain river vision and coordinate with lanes to counter-gank and prevent Nasus from safely farming side lanes.
