Nocturne has experienced several nerfs that have really changed the game for him yet he still has the tendency to be built the same. Below are my two favorite guide to Nocturne: The Eternal Nightmare

Nocturne has experienced several nerfs that have really changed the game for him yet he still has the tendency to be built the same. Below are my two favorite guide to Nocturne: The Eternal Nightmare

Umbra Blades: Umbra Blades is one of the greatest champion passives that i have seen in a long time. The idea of 120% damage increase included with lifesteal. This passive is useful and amazing from begging to middle to end. In beginning say if you are laning or ganking it does not make a difference just combo it up starting with Q rush up to the Champ dusked and that hit alone will hit for much damage. Later this can be added with Unspeakable horror which makes the non squishes look like Vieger or a Teemo crawling for help

Duskbringer This skill is very useful and changes its meaning through the duration of the game.

Early: Acts great for harassing and farming. Make sure that you aim it right and try not to overuse it as doing to may result in the loss of mana quickly. Then you are stuck with being hit by the other champs clinging for life. Stay on top of it too, hit the champs and the minions for the most work being done and kill them before they kill you.

Mid-Late: Not only does this do alot of damage in the late game, of course it will if you follow my build, and it works to the advantage movement speed wise. Chasing is not a word to describe it because now it appears as if the enemy champ is walking and you are running with full momentum. It is not useful being a Yi and running if you are hunted down, feared out your damn mind and slowed with exhaust



Shroud of Darkness This i love because of the passive ability is provides. 40% by the time you reach level 5 skill that speaks for itself and i dont care if it is nerfed the passive itself adds to the bassassery Nocturne promotes. Actively his spell blocking adds to his passive however may be short can still be effective. I took into consideration that in team fights and even a 1v1 that the enemy is GOING to hit you with a spell, it is obvious. By using Shroud of Darkness as well as activating Yomuu's Ghostblade, your attack speed with be unfair to the enemy champ, maybe it would even be

over 9000!!!!!

Unspeakable Horror: With Fiddlesticks we have been given unspeakable horrors with his own fear ability, Nocturnes however, is better. Fiddle missed the point that damage wins battles along with the fear. This is exactly what Nocturne does. Up to 250 damage at least given you may include a Gunblade or maybe just the small AP given with the Trinity Force. DO NOT WASTE THIS. Too many times have i seen enemy nocturnes use this out of range or with long distance between. It does the damage but then the champ gets away before the seconds are up and it is just a waste of time. Use your other abilities to your advantage. Duskbringer lets you run up on the champs and then use this ability because you will be able to run along side and maybe pull in front so they run opposite the direction they want to go leaving them defenseless.


Paranoia I fear this ability in the wrong hands because people misuse it all of the time and that is just a disappointment and you look dumb in front of everyone. Know the range capabilities. Because you get some what of a wider range on Summoners Rift do not go prancing into Twisted Treeline thinking you cover the entire map because it works according to the map size. Another thing, do not dive straight into those big statue things people like to call Turrets or for the people who can not speak at all "Turrents" which is completely incompetent with the basics of language. When you dive and die you look like a noob and an *** because you can not escape by saying "oh dang lag i almost got you lucker." If you used the skill you knew what you were doing do not blame the servers. Aside from idiocracy this skill is amazing for ganks, chasing, solo and team fights because there is nothing that stops a champ in their trackers better then this followed by the combos you use to make running away useless. So ult away summoners as long as you can do it and not die.

I did not explain the steps involved in getting your items so let me do that now :D

When you start get a Doran's Blade because this adds onto both your damage which add to Duskbringer and Umbra Blades right away. However if you are a bigger fan of hp regen get Doran's Shield for this may apply to you more because you are a physical damage champ who does not like to do physical damage.

If you are doing well and got a couple early kills under your belt go back to base and get some Berserker's Greaves. If not so well but you need to go back and you have cash start with getting a Dagger. I have you get Attack Speed boots because at start i like to get speed right off the bat and not wait for Shroud of Darkness to catch up.

Get a Long Sword and then follow it with a The Brutalizer. This adds CD and Armor Penetration as well as damage and develops into Youmuu's Ghostblade which is vital to this build.

Follow this up with either a Phage or a Zeal depending on if you are getting hit hard any you would rather have more health right away or have that attack speed to stack onto the speed you already have. This later develops into a Trinity Force which because of the Sheen ability, after using say Duskbringer you invoke that much more damage. After this upgrade your The Brutalizer into Youmuu's Ghostblade and become unstoppable.

*UPDATE* 3/26
Recently i have found it effective to rush getting Youmuu's Ghostblade instead of getting the Zeal after your first Phage. By doing so you not only gave around mid attack but you also have some steady advantage in speed to back that up. By casting Youmuu's Ghostblade active and using Duskbringer you find it does alot of damage early on especially if you have your passive up.

Get another Phage to add on to the health you already have and follow it up with a Frozen Mallet. At this point you have decent health, damage, and attack speed not to include the Bloodthirster and Infinity Edge.

The next steps i really do not care with what you go first. Personally i like getting the Bloodthirster because i like the lifesteal but then again critical strike chance leads me into the mood of getting Infinity Edge.

This is suitable and explained for my build. Comment if you want to have other items explained for Nocturne and how they may effect him.

I love speed. Early speed can be devastating to other champs. The only other boots i would consider are Boots of Swiftness and Mercury's Treads

This give Nocturne much need health, mana, attack speed, and its passive abilities work well with Nocturne

Use it all the time and the armor pen plus the additional 50% attack speed really gives into why i love this champ so much.

The slow is really good considering that the speed variation between nocturne and whatever enemy champ eliminates the need for a long chase. Lets take the 700 additional health and additional damage and you have a prime item needed for any Nocturne.

The damage and lifesteal are what Nocturne thirsts for

GTFO now you get critical strike chance up to 50% and you attack alot and do tons of damage the deal is sealed with this item.

This is great because it adds to your Attack Speed, Crit chance, and movement speed which is vital to Nocturne's cause

This item was added so that you can max out on your attack speed and also have addition damage. The passive of the cleaver also helps to kill the enemy faster with the considerable damage you will be doing the armor reduction speaks for itself against the enemy champions
