AP Nasus Build

General

1. You play poke oriented Mage.
2. You rush Luden's Companion.
3. You build AP items, going full damage.

General

1. Playing AP Nasus build, your default rush is Luden's Companion. In cases, when an enemy team is full of tanks and HP stackers, go Liandry's Torment.
2. Adapt to an enemy team. Are they full of tanks, and they rush tons of Magic Resist? You rush Void Staff as #2 or #3 item to counter MR stacking. Their team has champs with lots of healing? Rush Oblivion Orb as #2 item (upgrade to Morellonomicon as 4th or 5th item).
3. Somebody is going after you each fight? Always getting ulted by enemy assassins? Rush Zhonya's Hourglass.

Champion

1. Your main combo is to walk up or do it from bush - cast E with First Strike + Luden's Companion. That's your bread and butter.
2. You can trick enemies by facing other directions, walking into other direction and casting E.
3. You can adapt to an enemy team. After rushing Sorcerer's Shoes, Luden's Companion and maybe Shadowflame - you can go tanky and counter enemy team.
4. You are gonna melt anyone in melee range thanks to your ult that scales off AP and deals % max hp.
5. Do not wait for a special moment for your R. It is okay to use it for anti-poke (i.e. Karthus ult).
6. Wait for First Strike and proc it with your combo, to deal damage and earn gold
7. Be careful to not get poked, because you waste First Strike procs.
8. You can play this build with Snowball / Mark for more going in. And you can play Dark Harvest instead of First Strike - it is more reliable, but less fun.

Champion

1. Always try stacking your Siphoning Strike (Q), even if you are playing very unusual builds like AP or Support. It's gonna help with farming, emergency damage or when pushing turret.
2. Your Siphoning Strike (Q) resets auto. Try weaving it: auto - Q - auto. This maximizes damage output (especially important to push turrets faster).
3. Want to push turrets even faster? Use your Fury of the Sands (R) to reduce your Q cooldown and weave-Q spam to destroy turret quicker.
4. Usually spam your Wither (W) on enemy carries, it is a great catching tool.
5. You can use Fury of the Sands (R) before taking portal (frost-gate). You will be damaging everyone on your path during travel. Especially effective, if you are playing AP #champion build!

Build

1. You can Wither (W) enemy before using Spirit Fire (E). This way they will burn in your AOE fire for much longer.

Riot

1. Paying attention to last hitting with Siphoning Strike will have a large impact at the end of a game.
2. If you're solo, Spirit Fire is a great way to farm a lane. It can be bad if you're in a lane with 2 and you push too far. Find the right balance between Siphoning Strike last hits and AoE farming.
3. If you have low defenses, people will focus you down even during your ultimate. Try buying some survivability items even in your DPS builds.
