How to Play This Matchup
Early Aggression
Graves needs to punish Nasus before they scale. Zone them off CS levels 1-5 and look for solo kills before first back. If Nasus reaches 2 items even, you're in trouble.
Armor Rush
Both champions deal physical damage. Whoever builds armor first (Plated Steelcaps, Bramble Vest) gets a huge advantage in trades.
Hit and Run
Graves needs to combo and back off. Don't stay in extended trades against Nasus's sustained damage. Short trades, then disengage.
Range Advantage
Graves has range advantage. Nasus should look for short trades when Graves uses abilities on the wave. Freeze near your tower and wait for jungle help or an all-in window.
Exploit Graves's Weakness
Graves's main weakness: Tanks, long-range poke, kiting. Play around this to maximize your advantage.
Graves Win Condition
Fast clear, invade, burst squishies, grit stacking
Nasus Win Condition
Stack Q, scale, become unkillable splitpusher
