How to play it

Don't E in
If you use E to engage he can Wither you and run you down, so pick your commits carefully.
Deny his farm
Don't let him farm at all: watch your wave state and win the lane before his Q stacks come online.
Walk, don't auto
Don't auto him while you're Withered: just walk alongside him and let CC catch back up.
Never let Nasus free-farm: his Siphoning Strike stacks are what carry him past you late.
