Nocturne Matchups Overview

Nocturne General information

Nocturne tips and tricks

Try to get level 6 as quickly as possible so you’re able to impact the map with your Ultimate ParanoiaR.

As you’re an Assassin, try to assassinate immobile champions that are in the side lane alone. You can also use your Ultimate ParanoiaR to take down champions who are running through the river alone too.

Be prepared to sacrifice a little bit of CS for XP and health if you’re against a ranged champion in the mid lane. Don’t lose a lot of health and be forced to recall and fall.
