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:

  • Maintain distance from teammates to avoid chain CC from Nautilus's ultimate
  • Focus Nautilus if he engages without team follow-up
  • Stay out of auto-attack range to avoid his passive CC
  • Ward effectively to track his roams after Mobility Boots purchase

Power Spike Awareness:

  • Levels 1-3: High kill pressure with Q
  • Level 6: Increased threat with ultimate
  • Post-Mobility Boots: Enhanced roaming potential

Strong Counters:

  • Taric
  • Renata Glasc
  • Rell
  • Tahm Kench
  • Bard

Poor Matchups:

  • Leona
  • Senna
  • Janna
  • Lulu
  • Alistar

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.
