My first dat- I mean adventure with Nasus when well enough and fast enough on stream that we decided to go for Round 2.
So let’s bring out the flowers and champagne to make this a night to remember… wait what?
While Nasus is certainly a strong Champion on his own, the biggest benefit to having a well-rounded kit like his is that he pairs well with most of the champions you can encounter on the Path. Since, in many ways, the Path of Champions is akin to a draft, and we can’t be certain of what choices we’ll have available to us on the journey, it helps to start with a champion that can slot in other champions and their kits nicely, without clashing too much with their play style.
Case in point here with Viktor. Combined with a few choices we made early on, Viktor’s kit synergized so well with the tools our deck already had access to that our strategy basically pivoted to being completely around him while losing nothing of the utility provided by the cards we were already bringing to the table. Even better, we were able to keep Nasus in our hand in several matches, just in case we needed him to strike an enemy to neutralize a threat before it became a problem.
I’ve even had matches where the deck became a spellslinger deck with Ezreal as a second champion. Again, that works because all Nasus cares about is that you’re the one killing units, not whether or not it’s done by a spell or a creature. No matter what the strategy is, we will always want to do that.
So you better believe I’ll be taking Nasus out on more dat- ADVENTURES in my spare time.
