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
Umbra BıçaklarıHer birkaç saniyede bir, Nocturne'ün sonraki saldırısı çevredeki rakiplere ilave fiziksel hasar verir ve şampiyonu iyileştirir.Nocturne'ün normal saldırıları, bu bekleme süresini azaltır.
Q
Karanlığın EliNocturne hasar veren ve şampiyonların ardında Karanlık Yol bırakmalarına neden olan bir gölge bıçak fırlatır. Nocturne yol üstündeyken birimlerin içinden geçebilir ve hareket hızı ile saldırı gücü değerlerinde artış elde eder.
W
Karanlık ÖrtüsüNocturne bıçaklarını güçlendirir ve pasif olarak saldırı hızı kazanır. Karanlık Örtüsü'nü etkinleştirince, bir tek rakip yeteneğini engelleyen ve başarılı olursa pasif saldırı hızını ikiye katlayan büyülü bir bariyer yaratarak gölgeler arasında kaybolabilir.
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
Tarifsiz DehşetNocturne hedefinin zihnine bir kâbus işler ve her saniye hasar verir. Hedef, sürenin sonuna kadar menzil dışına çıkmazsa korkuya kapılır.
R
ParanoyaNocturne bütün rakip şampiyonların görüş mesafesini azaltır ve bu arada takım arkadaşlarını görememelerine neden olur. Ardından, Nocturne bu fırsattan istifade yakındaki bir rakibin üstüne atılabilir.
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.
