Nautilus Support Counter Guide: Best Champions and Tips
In lane, maintain minion positioning between yourself and Nautilus to prevent his Q hook. Ranged champions should utilize their attack range advantage for poke damage while avoiding over-commitment.
Utility supports are advised to choose Relic Shield over Spelltheif's Edge for a safer laning phase.

Key Strategy Points:

Watch for his primary engage tools (Q and R) and maintain proper positioning throughout all game phases. Communicate missing pings when Nautilus leaves lane to prevent successful roams.
