I dig the video in German.

Good guide, nice pictures to illustrate your points. Will use when I buy this champ.

Sexy guide, love the "Noc Noc" joke as well. LOL.

+1! =]

This is great :)

Now I know how to play Noct properly lol

Nice Build! However, i personally like the item sequence alittle like this:

1. Level 1 boots w/ health pot and mana pot (Noc tends to run out of mana quickly early game as i love to harass alot.. especially when i lane with an agressive player)
2. Bersekers and +15% Atk Spd dagger
3. Build dagger into Zeal and then Critical Strike, then Complete it with Phantom
4. Then i build Youmuu's blade (great for chasing down enemies
5. Then i build Atk dmg, +12% life steal, and critical strike. Sometimes i'll add in more atk speed.

For my summoner spells, i enjoy using heal and exhaust.

In a previous post you said that you liked ignite and ghost. I honestly would never prefer those two on nocturne.

1. Ignite has flat damage (besides the fact that for each increase in level, damage increases, too). I would definitely NOT choose ignite over exhaust because exhaust has a percentage factor. I would much rather get damage reduction (by the percentage!) than damage infliction (by flat damage). In team fights, noc is usually targetted (in my cases) because of my high damage output. I would usually pick off the mages in the back while exhausting the carry. This way i can take out the mages without being disabled by a carry and help my team out at the same time (just incase carry DOESN'T target me and targets team mates)

2. Noc's ultimate already has a HUGE range. Plus, his Q allows him to chase his enemies very easily. Including Youmuu's and he practically turns into God (in most circumstances). So i would easily replace Ghost with Heal. In early game, (lvl 6+), many champions i harass would end up tower hugging. With les than 25% of hp left (on my oponent), i would ulti in, W to avoid any slows, stuns, etc, and start running back out with (usually 20% hp). If i cannot take the last hit from the turret, i would slam my heal and i escape with barely a scratch (on my scoreboard at least).

Nice do!
But those patchnotes... i dont know. not realy necessary.

Maybe thats why I wrote that this is NOT a jungle Guide? DOn't you think so?



A higher attack speed is (nearly) always good. Especialy if I'm using critical strike.



Good point. I'll add an alternate Itembuild using your proposal. I'll give you the credit if you want to.



Thanks! It was alot of work^^



I've seen many, very many Guides doing this *lol*



Good idea, I'll do this.
Actually if I think about I i did it already. Read "Skill Sequence".



No, Sir! The first alternativ Itembuild includes Doran's Shield for example. It's the detail.



Yeah, could be right, because I'm from Germany my game is German and the Summoner Spells are not called like the enlish ones. THank you.



I've read some. (Can't give you a link, cause I don't remember the Guide...)



Well I just had a very interesting game against 4 level 30 guys (all of them won 300+ games) and one level 21 guy. It ended 18-5 or something. I'll check it later, actually th LoL server are unavailable.



Actually I'm not saying that you have to use heal. I'm using Ghost and Ignite. I'm recommending Heal but thats what other Guides are doing as well. Because Heal can be usefull (but I don't think that it is actually).



Yeah, you helped me.
I'm goiong to change some things, maybe you want to change your rating then. Eh?

@Hawk Eye:
Just make a screenshot and upload it somwhere.
Then copy the Forum Link, it looks like (url=link to pic)(img)link to pic(/img)(/url). But not "(" but "["
Just paste this link here or somwhere else.

I just went a game with nocturne using your lane build and so this is what happened... my KD ration is always at least 2 when i win. one game i went 12 and 6. Another game i went 25 and 2. I want to know how i can post pictures into this thread from the actual game log because i am really new at this.

Here is my constructive criticism about your guide:

1) "From level 12 it's easy to Jungle (you may not try to Jungle until you're level 10)" - even Sona can jungle past level 12 =.=

2) Attack speed runes means you're auto-attacking things early game. You're not even jungling til level 12, so there's two bad things there immediately. You're auto-attacking, which means you're pushing the lane, and two, you're not jungling with Nocturne.

3) You get Phantom Dancer as your first item. You always want to get damage before an increase of attack speed, or an item that does both, like Black Cleaver or Madred's Bloodrazor.

4) You've went with Perserverence in your mastery tree over Good Gands.

5) I appreciate your Updates section, as it is quite informative.

6) Never include the champion bio/back story into your guide...

7) You copy and paste the skills abilities instead of explaining them in your own words. I can hover my mouse over Duskbringer to read all that **** - I want to know how YOU used Duskbringer.

8) While adding the Skins was an interesting idea, I'm not sure why you've done it...

9) All your alternative item builds are the same... ... ... ... o.O

10) "Clairvoyance | (You're Mana Regeneration is high enough. If it's empety just go back to base)" - I think you've written the wrong description here ^^

11) "Many Guides are telling you to prefer the middle line." ... What? No they're not =.=

12) Your game results are bad. Not just because you're still earning XP, but because your K/D/A bearly breaks even in most of your games or you only just get more kills than deaths. For example: 10/7, 10/8, 9/8. Your other scores are pretty good, but once again, I wouldn't trust them based on the fact that you're not level 30. You're not playing against the same opponents I'd play against.

If I took Heal as a level 30 in a Ranked game, I'd be laughed at. Just you wait until you hit level 30 and play 50-100 more games. You'll look back at your guide and be embarrased.

That's it ^^ Hope I helped.

tried the bloodthrister.... ya about the last post... im gonna stay with blood thirster...

I used this build... and i went 31/6/2. I messed around with the build and figured that instead of getting blood thister, stick with vampiric scepter and stay with last whisper as a relatively early item. the scepter just because to me it seems i get more lifesteal. but besides that this build is AMAZING! i couldn't get a good build so i sucked with nocturne. but now all my friends are saying Im too OP! :D (I posted this same comment in the German version not realizing it so um reposting it here)

Done.
