Guide to Synergizing Nunu & Willump and Nasus

Tips for Playing as Nunu & Willump with Nasus

Consume allows Nunu to stay in a lane against ranged opponents.

You can choose to interrupt Absolute Zero early for partial damage if an opponent is about to run out of range.

It's often beneficial to delay the casting of Absolute Zero until the initial round of disables are used. Try to hang back before rushing into a team fight.

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.
