Nasus
GameplayNasus is a champion in League of Legends.[1]
Abilities
- Nasus can gain Siphoning Strike stacks by killing any enemy unit, this includes champions, minions, monsters, wards, turrets, and pets.
- Jungle plants and structures that are not turrets (e.g. inhibitors) will not grant stacks.
- Siphoning Strike will not generate stacks from secondary units killed by other effects (e.g. Tiamat).
- Life steal applies to the entire damage of Siphoning Strike
- Siphoning Strike can critically strike, but only the 100% AD and flat bonus damage from ranks are increased. The bonus damage from stacks does not factor into its critical damage.
- Siphoning Strike will trigger Tear of the Goddess' Mana Charge.
- Howling Abyss differences edit
- Per-kill stacks increased to 6.
- Per-large-kill stacks increased to 24.
- Nexus Blitz differences edit
- On-kill stacks changed to 6.
- On-large-kill stacks changed to 24.
- If Wither's duration is affected by Tenacity the effects will apply slower (negative tenacity percentage) or faster (positive tenacity percentage) so the maximum values are still reached when the modified duration ends.
- Both slow and cripple from Wither are considered to be a single debuff. (bug)
- Therefore, slow immunity will prevent both, even without technical cripple immunity.
- Therefore,
- Wither is cancelled if Nasus loses sight of the target during the cast time.
- If the target becomes untargetable, dies, or is too far away or no longer in sight during the cast time, this ability will cancel but does not go on cooldown nor pay its cost (if applicable).
- Fury of the Sands' bonus health is not affected by Grievous Wounds and Nasus retains it once the duration ends.
Champion skins

Nasus is an imposing, jackal-headed Ascended being from ancient Shurima, a heroic figure regarded as a demigod by the people of the desert. Fiercely intelligent, he was a guardian of knowledge and peerless strategist whose wisdom guided the ancient empire of Shurima to greatness for many centuries. After the fall of the empire, he went into self-imposed exile, becoming little more than a legend. Now that the ancient city of Shurima has risen once more, he has returned, determined to ensure it never falls again.
