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 R.
As you’re an Assassin, try to assassinate immobile champions that are in the side lane alone. You can also use your Ultimate R 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.
