Vi into Nasusmedium

Overview

Use Vi's high early pressure and strong dueling to contest river and invade before Nasus scales.
Disrupt Nasus's slow scaling by forcing early fights and denying free farm through jungle pressure.
Prioritize early picks with lockdown to snowball lanes and secure objectives.

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 safe scaling attempts and prioritize early dragon and Rift Herald control.

Danger windows

Nasus becomes dangerous around 15-20 minutes with high stacks and active; avoid solo fights then.
Early river fights without lane priority or vision control risk counter-invades due to Nasus's slow and durability.
Low-health clears or forced smite fights near objectives without backup increase vulnerability to Nasus's counter-jungle pressure.

Early game

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

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks Vi's lockdown, enabling guaranteed picks before Nasus reaches critical stack thresholds.
Vi's early clear speed and dueling strength peak before Nasus's stacks become threatening; leverage this window.
Avoid isolated fights when Nasus activates with high stacks; focus on objective control instead.

Win conditions

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