The Aatrox versus Nasus matchup in the top lane is favorable with proper positioning. Use your statistical advantage and prevent the opponent from realizing their potential.
Except for rare builds, Aatrox deals physical damage. Focus on eliminating enemy carries. Nasus deals mainly physical damage (71.63%), additional items against this damage type may be required against snowballing or aggressive play.
Consider the farming superiority demonstrated by Nasus, ranking 30th (versus 42nd for Aatrox) in farming efficiency among champions in this role. This means the opponent can build gold advantages more quickly.
Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Aatrox player to maintain constant pressure on Nasus, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.
