Guide to Synergizing Nasus and Irelia

Tips for Playing as Nasus with Irelia

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.

Advice to Understand How Irelia Will Play

Defiant Dance is not interrupted by crowd control, try timing it for incoming disables.

Flawless Duet does not have a maximum travel distance, try using it in creative ways.

Use Bladesurge to cover great distances by targeting low life minions on your way to champion targets.

Is Nasus better when played alongside Irelia?

There is no perfect champion pairing for Nasus that will always be his #1 ally. Yet, Irelia is a not very good companion for Nasus. By being on the same team as Nasus, she decreases their win rate by -1.1% to 49.2%. This demonstrates that there is a negative bond between Nasus and Irelia that allows them to perform worse together than alone.

Irelia has a lower difficulty than Nasus. That means Nasus players don't need to be cautious when lining up Irelia teammates to fight alongside, as they will need a relatively low level of skill to work well with you.

Fighting together, you should expect to see an overall large increase in your team’s capability to dish out massive AD. Combined, these two can tear through the other team with a lot of physcial damage.

Although, by bringing Nasus and Irelia together, you will not be providing your other allies very much support. Plan to bring other champs on your team that offsets this gap in their potential.

Regardless of your Irelia ally's ability, you need to focus on increasing your gold income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and taking down objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you should do well anyway.
