Tips for Playing as Gwen with Nasus
Gwen can still damage enemies outside her Hallowed Mists, especially with her Ultimate's range.
Some of Gwen's Abilities can apply her passive to multiple enemies, so aim them at groups to get maximum damage and healing.
Always be Attacking - In addition to dealing bonus damage, Gwen's Attacks empower or reset many of her Abilities.
Advice to Understand How Nasus Will Play
Paying attention to last hitting with Siphoning Strike will have a large impact at the end of a game.
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.
If you have low defenses, people will focus you down even during your ultimate. Try buying some survivability items even in your DPS builds.

Overall, Gwen sees a very large drop in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Nasus. His KDA went down from NaN to NaN.

This change may signal that Nasus does not provide protection for her to deal more damage or that his support also helps increase the round's duration. Similarly, when Gwen is played alongside Nasus on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when she plays alone. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing with Nasus.
Moreover, when Gwen plays with Nasus on the same side, she on average receives a little more damage than when she plays alone. Getting dealt more damage may mean that Nasus does a poor job of protecting Gwen in teamfights.

Is Gwen better when played alongside Nasus?
There is no ideal champion pairing for Gwen that will always be her ideal synergy. However, Nasus is a not very good companion for Gwen. By locking into the same side as Gwen, he drops their win rate by -1.4% to 46.7%. This clearly indicates that there is a negative strategic relationship between Gwen and Nasus that allows them to perform not as well together than without each other.
Nasus has a greater difficulty than Gwen. That means Gwen players need to be very careful when lining up Nasus allies to fight alongside, as they will require a greater level of skill to do well with you.
Working together, Gwen players will likely witness an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to deal physical damage. When paired, these two can tear through the other team with a lot of physcial damage.
Conversely, by pairing Gwen and Nasus together, you may not be granting your side a great deal of utility. We recommend you bring other champions on your team that offsets this disparity in this pairing's capabilities.
Regardless of your Nasus ally's skill level, you should focus on maximizing your income, warding to avoid ambushes, and clearing objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you should do well anyway.
