Nasus Synergies

S Tier 2
Zilean Zilean Zilean is exceptional with Nasus because he instantly fixes Nasus's main structural weakness: reaching the target without being kited to death before he can hit. The movement speed boosts grant Nasus contact access, while the revive allows him to play much more aggressively under Fury of the Sands. This synergy is monstrous against mobile carries or kite compositions where a few extra seconds of presence are enough to collapse the entire backline. ProtectSupport

Lulu Lulu Lulu helps Nasus cross no man's land before contact and prevents him from being instantly neutralized once inside the fight. Her speed-up, defensive knockup, and especially her polymorph on the main enemy threat give Nasus the time to fully cash in on Siphoning Strike. The duo is very strong against drafts where Nasus can win the fight simply by staying on the right target for a few seconds. ProtectSupport

A Tier 2
Jarvan IV Jarvan IV Jarvan IV forces an initial lockdown that lets Nasus enter without wasting too much time chasing a mobile target. Cataclysm reduces the kiting space, and Wither adds a second layer of denial that makes escape almost impossible for the trapped carry. This synergy is particularly relevant against ranged teams that would otherwise have enough space to wear Nasus down before contact. EngageJungle

RCataclysm→WWither→QSiphoning Strike
Orianna Orianna Orianna works very well with Nasus in zone fights because she can use him as a threatening ball carrier while he walks forward. Nasus naturally attracts defensive reactions, and Orianna punishes that clustering with Shockwave when the enemy team tries to kite or wrap around him. The duo works well around objectives and in slower drafts where Nasus provides front pressure while Orianna delivers the real AoE punishment. CC ChainMid

B Tier 1
Soraka Soraka Soraka helps Nasus last longer, but she does not improve his real problem of target access as much as other supports do. Her healing is still very useful in extended fights or objective setups where Nasus can already play his zone naturally. It is therefore a correct synergy in slower games, but less decisive than pairings that give him speed or direct lockdown. ProtectSupport
