Nasus

Nasus The Curator of the Sands is a Tank or Melee DPS-Champion in League of Legends.

Background
The enigmatic creature known as Nasus came to the League from a faraway world, and served as part of a vast and learned desert empire. There he was a respected and enlightened individual, having been made the Keeper of the Great Library. However, he was also part of a race of animalistic creatures that served as the rulers and protectors of the people. War was never more than a breath away, as others of his kind craved to enslave the people and claim totalitarian sovereignty. In the midst of a heated battle, just as Nasus was about to slay his treacherous brother Renekhton, he was summoned to Runeterra. It didn't take much to convince him that Champions were needed to fight against the injustice here and he took up a place in the League of Legends. These days, he is the Keeper of the Sands, feeling most at home in the crumbling ruins of the Shurima Desert.

"The Keeper of the Sands, though contemplative, is not to be trifled with."

Strategy

 * Paying attention to last hitting with Siphoning Strike will have a large impact at the end of a game.
 * Spirit Fire is a good way to keep your enemies away from farming.
 * Nasus can be built as a melee DPS, a health tank, or a hybrid. See what your allies are building to decide which path to build
 * Be careful using Spirit Fire when tower hugging. It may cause the creeps to go too far away for you to safely last hit with Siphoning Strike
