LORE


Before Nocturne, people believed that dreams were figments of their imagination, meaningless images that flashed through the mind when one slept. This belief was put to the test when a rash of sleep-related incidents started afflicting summoners of the League. Some would wake up screaming, terrified and beyond consolation. Some could not fall asleep, slowly going mad as the nights ticked by. Some simply never woke up. Physicians were baffled until a Field Architect happened to pass out next to a nexus on Twisted Treeline. Witnesses said he cried out once and then stopped breathing. Immediately after, magical energy arced out from the nexus, and Nocturne appeared.

Nocturne did not take his introduction to this world kindly. He slaughtered everything he could find before summoners were able to magically confine him. After a period of intense study, League experts divined that Nocturne hunted summoners in their sleep, attacking them in a place where their magic was useless. This seemed to be his only purpose. The families of the victims demanded justice, but League officials were concerned that death might only return Nocturne to the place from which he came. They bound him to a nexus fragment, trapping him in the physical world. As punishment for his crimes, they allowed summoners to call upon Nocturne in the League matches, bending his will to the summoners he hates and creating his own personal nightmare. League scholars don't know whether he truly came from the plane of dreams, or whether there are any more like him. Some theorize that the summoning act affected summoners' subconscious minds, luring Nocturne to them in their sleep. Perhaps the most disturbing theory is that Nocturne is a person's nightmare come to life. If this is true, they wonder, who is the dreamer?




Pros:
    - Massive DPS
    - Good Jungling ability
    - Very good killing Machine
    - Good surviver


Conse:
    - You don't want to get target
    - You don't want a Mana depended hero
    - You don't want Nightmares after you played him
    - You don't have 6300 ip



Cost: 6300 IP or 975

Skill Sequence

:Passive
Every 10 seconds, Nocturne's next attack strikes surrounding enemies for physical damage and heals himself for each target hit. Nocturne's physical attacks reduce this cooldown by 1 second.

:"Q"
Nocturne throws a shadow blade which deals damage, leaves a Dusk Trail, and causes champions to leave a Dusk Trail. While on the trail, Nocturne ignores unit collision and has increased Movement Speed and Attack Damage.

    Cost: 60 / 65 / 70 / 75 / 80 mana
    Physical Damage: 60 / 110 / 160 / 210 / 260 (+0.75 per bonus attack damage)
    Movement Speed Bonus: 15 / 20 / 25 / 30 / 35%
    Attack Damage Bonus: 20 / 30 / 40 / 50 / 60
    Cooldown: 10 seconds


:"W"
Nocturne empowers his blades, passively gaining attack speed. Activating Shroud of Darkness allows Nocturne to fade into the shadows, creating a magical barrier which blocks a single enemy spell and doubles his passive attack speed if successful.

    Cost: 50 mana
    Cooldown: 20 / 18 / 16 / 14 / 12 seconds
    Passive Attack Speed Bonus: 20 / 25 / 30 / 35 / 40%


:"E"
Nocturne plants a nightmare into his target's mind, dealing damage each second and fearing the target if they do not get out of range by the end of the duration.


    Cost: 60 / 65 / 70 / 75 / 80 mana
    Cooldown: 15 / 14 / 13 / 12 / 11 seconds
    Total Magic Damage: 50 / 100 / 150 / 200 / 250 (+1.0 per ability power)


:"R" ULTIMATE
Nocturne reduces the sight radius of all enemy champions and removes their ally vision in the process. He can then launch himself at a nearby enemy champion.
    Cost: 100 mana
    Cooldown: 160 / 130 / 100 seconds
    Physical Damage: 150 / 300 / 450 (+1.2 per bonus attack damage)
    Range: 2500 / 3250 / 4000

Runes

Greater Mark of Desolation Greater Quintessence of Desolation

Greater Mark of Desolation: I use for getting more armor-penetration
: I use because I jungle, so that will give a bonus at the start
: I use because of his Umbra Blades which gives a AOE attack to near by enemies. because everytime Nocturne hit with Melee, will the cooldown of 10 seconds, fall with 1 second. and that is good for your jungling due to that when you do the AOE hit you heal yourself due to how many creeps/champions get hitted.
Is also a good choice due to that his a very mana depended hero.
Greater Quintessence of Desolation: I use for getting more armor-penetration.

Creeping / Jungling

Hei Guys, here i will tell short and simple about to jungle.


As you can see I start with the Blue Golem Buff, which is hard for Nocturne to start out with.
So I always use my teammates here. The on that are in mid lane are Scouting, on the other side of the brushes, after the 1,55 min, you let him just do 1 melee/ranged attack so he will get that angro.

This tac also work at the Lizard (redbuff) which you can start with too, i just like start with blue due to that Nocturne's CD's are very high in the start.
While the Golem are running around, you just do all the damage you can do to him, and then when his starting to hit you, Use 1 Health Potion and then use Smite when the Golem are at 450 Health.

After you Killed all the Creeps in your forest, Then you have around 680-700 gold. IF not go to the solo lane and get that.

Then you Can start in the enemies Forest, totaly the same way.



BUT BE CAREFULL You have to have your vision on your map/chat for the Missing.

And remember to put out some ganks. It os so important that you are ready to pull out ganks, because it will turn the game!

-NOTE: You can use this skill order for ganking

+ (If you are about to go after a hero that can slow/Stun/fear etc you)+


Easier Jungling way after suggestions
The red lines show when i normaly start to put out a gank, or try to!

GOOD LUCK !
