Nautilus Item Build

SUPPORT LOADOUT · NAUTILUS

Nautilus opens fights on his own terms, dragging himself and a champion together with Dredge Line and then locking them down as Staggering Blow immobilizes on his attacks. The main support build backs that up with Ruby Sightstone and Runic Bulwark.

This is the primary Nautilus support for the bot lane, built for gold and engage. Philosopher's Stone, Lucky Pick and Heart of Gold build gold and sustain without last hits. Ruby Sightstone gives a large ward supply, and Runic Bulwark adds an armor and magic resist aura for allies near him. Staggering Blow (P) roots targets on his first hit, so the defense mastery page and Exhaust keep him in the fight long enough to chain his crowd control.

Support Nautilus Build

Support

Nautilus supports here by starting fights rather than reacting to them, so the early gold pieces matter mostly because they let him engage without falling behind.

Philosopher's Stone, Lucky Pick and Heart of Gold all pay out gold over time, which keeps his items coming while the carry takes the last hits. Ruby Sightstone then supplies the wards that show where a Dredge Line can land.

Titan's Wrath takes the first max for a stronger shield, and that shield is what lets him walk into the enemy pair after the hook. Staggering Blow immobilizes on his basic attacks, so a hook into an attack chains into the slows from Riptide and then Depth Charge.

Runic Bulwark finishes the core with an aura that lends armor and magic resist to nearby allies, and Boots of Mobility get him to the river quickly once he is out of combat.

Tank Nautilus Build

Tank
This Nautilus support takes Ignite for kill pressure and builds Frozen Heart.

Philosopher's Stone, Sightstone and Heart of Gold build gold and vision. Frozen Heart adds armor, cooldown reduction and an aura that slows the attack speed of nearby enemies. Armor quints and Runic Bulwark help him survive after he starts fights with Dredge Line (Q).

Our methodEvery Nautilus build here is reviewed by our editors before it ships. When a patch, balance change, or update touches Nautilus or the items in these builds, this page is re-reviewed and updated.
