My name is Hard and I main nocturne for around a year now, i reached master 300 lp on eune server just by one tricking him. I hope this guide can help you to be better nocturne player. All of my knowledge for nocturne came from watching a lot of Autophil and Agurin which are both challenger players. For any questions feel free to contact me on discord Hard#1316

I have youtube channel where I post lot of videos where i play nocturne you can follow me there if you want: https://www.youtube.com/@hardnocturne/videos

Look nocturne is very simple in terms of jungle pathing.
You generaly want to full clear towards lane that is
1 volatile (they fight and trade alot)
2 lane that can setup easy gank for you (your teammates having cc)

Whenever you have engage support in your team (Alistar, Leona, Nautilus etc.) you 100% want to path to bot lane!

If top lane is double mele bruiser ignite matchup than it can be rly good to influence that lane early.

If both top and bot look good to gank i would still choose bot.
If both top and bot look not that gankable i would choose to path bot.

As nocturne you want to try to shadow your laners when possible, whenever your bot for example have prio and you expect enemy jungler to gank bot you want to try to counter gank it and most of the times you are gonna win games just from those small details because as nocturne you are phsysically rly strong so you win most 3v3 fist to fist fights!

Mid game

Nocturne is REALLY strong at this stage of the game and you rly want to abuse this stage of the game to get yourself and your team ahead.

Try to look for picks with your ultimate on the targets that are isolated.


Late game

Look nocturne is generaly not good late game champion but trust me in solo q you can make him work(specialy in lower elos).

At this point of the game you want to leave the kills (if possible) to your teammates that are scaling better than you.

In team fights you wanna ult to make it easier for your team to start the fight if you have "engage" comp.

There is also situation where you are behind and your teammates are ahead in those situations you want to peel for your team, you just wait for enemy lets say Renekton to jump on your adc and than you ult him and try to kill him as fast as possible so he doesnt kill your adc.
