What makes Nocturne dangerous
Nocturne's ultimate darkens the whole enemy screen and lets him fly onto a champion from long range — a terrifying pick tool. He blocks a spell and fears with his W, and his Q gives speed and damage along a trail. He isolates a carry in the darkness and deletes them.
How to play against Nocturne
- 1When his ult darkens your screen, group up — allies can body-block or peel his dive. Don't panic-flash randomly.
- 2Respect his W spellshield — it blocks the next enemy ability. Bait it before you commit your key CC or burst.
- 3His W also fears you if it hits — dodge the cast, and hard CC catches him after he dives in.
- 4Peel your carry when his ult is up — Nocturne's whole game is isolating one target. Deny the isolation and he flounders.
Weaknesses to exploit
- ✓Ult isolates one target — grouping and peel counter it.
- ✓W spellshield/fear is dodgeable and baitable.
- ✓Squishy; hard CC punishes him after he dives.
- ✓Weak into peel-heavy, grouped comps.

P
Lâminas SombriasA cada poucos segundos, o próximo ataque de Nocturne atinge os inimigos ao seu redor para causar Dano Físico adicional e curá-lo. Os ataques básicos de Nocturne reduzem esse Tempo de Recarga.
Q
Portador do AnoitecerNocturne lança uma lâmina de sombras que causa dano, deixa um Rastro do Crepúsculo e faz com que os Campeões deixem um Rastro do Crepúsculo. Enquanto estiver no rastro, Nocturne ignora colisões com unidades e ganha aumento de Velocidade de Movimento e de Dano de Ataque.
W
Proteção das TrevasNocturne fortalece suas lâminas, ganhando Velocidade de Ataque passivamente. Ativar Proteção das Trevas permite que Nocturne desapareça em meio às sombras, criando uma barreira mágica que bloqueia uma única habilidade inimiga e dobra a Velocidade de Ataque passiva dele caso bem-sucedida.
Strong: a spellshield that blocks your next ability and fears if it hits. Weak: bait it before you commit key CC, and dodge the cast.
E
Horror IndescritívelNocturne coloca um pesadelo na mente de seu alvo, causando dano a cada segundo e aterrorizando-o caso ele não saia de seu alcance enquanto durar a habilidade.
R
ParanoiaNocturne reduz o raio de visão de todos os Campeões inimigos e ainda remove a visão que eles têm dos aliados. Depois ele pode se arremessar contra um Campeão inimigo que estiver próximo.
Strong: darkens the enemy screen and flies onto a champion from long range. Weak: group up so allies can peel/body-block the isolated dive.
Itemization
Nocturne is a burst AD assassin. Group and peel when his ult is up, bait his W spellshield, and armor/Zhonya's survive his dive. Deny him the isolated pick.
