Nautilus Counter Guide

Strong Counters to Nautilus:

  • Taric (Highest win rate)
  • Renata Glasc
  • Rell
  • Tahm Kench
  • Bard

Lane Survival Tips:

  • Position behind minions to block Nautilus's Q hook
  • As ranged champion, harass safely with auto attacks
  • Consider Relic Shield over Spellthief's Edge for safer laning

Key Strategic Counters:

  1. Spread out in teamfights to avoid multiple R knockups
  2. Punish Nautilus when he engages alone - he lacks escape tools
  3. Stay out of auto-attack range to avoid his passive root
  4. Ward deeply to track roaming attempts with Mobility Boots

Watch for Power Spikes:

  • Levels 1-3: High kill pressure with Q hook
  • Level 6: Ultimate adds significant kill potential
  • Mobility Boots: Enables dangerous roaming
