  • Jungle plants and structures that are not turrets (e.g. inhibitors) will not grant stacks.

• 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.
• Wither is cancelled if Nasus loses sight of the target during the cast time.
