Guide to Synergizing Jarvan IV and Nasus

Tips for Playing as Jarvan IV with Nasus

Use Demacian Standard as a scouting tool when worried about incoming enemies.

You can use the Dragon Strike / Demacian Standard combo to get out of your own Cataclysm arenas.

Split your basic attacks on different champions at the beginning of fights to maximize damage.

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.
