How to play it

Starve his Q
Zone him off his stacks: he's melee with no gap-close, so a starved Siphoning Strike stays weak all game.
Freeze near tower
Freeze the wave by your tower: it's the most efficient way to deny his stacking and pins him for ganks.
He can't reach you
Nasus has no way to close the gap on Gnar: poke and zone at will, he can't punish it.
Never let him free-farm his Q: every unzoned stack is Siphoning Strike damage he'll dunk you with later.
