What the Data Means

With Viego and Nasus both dealing physical damage, stacking a single stat answers most of it. Level-one bases: Viego 630 HP / 34 armour / 32 MR, Nasus 650 / 34 / 32. Level 18 armour lands at 112 for Viego and 114 for Nasus. On autos alone the numbers read 57 AD for Viego and 67 for Nasus. Nasus covers ground faster from level one (345 against 350).
Spirit Fire (E) is the ability Viego has to respect, just as Nasus plays around Blade of the Ruined King. Heartbreaker and Fury of the Sands are the two buttons that end the exchange outright. Resources split the two: None for Viego, Mana for Nasus.
This is a melee mirror in terms of reach — 200 versus 125 — so spacing matters less than ability timing.
