Introduction
PSA: Guide is not even near completion, bookmark and come back later :D:D:D 28/2/12
y Hello thar, this is a guide on how to effectively play 
Nocturne as a terror top.
Pros / Cons
Pro's
Easy farmer
Outstanding pushing capability with Duskbringer and Umbra Blades
Able to split push and be in the fight with Paranoia
Insane amount of sustain in lane
High base damage with Duskbringer and Shroud of Darkness
High kill potential on his own
Easy escape from jungle ganks
Con's
Mana problems 1-5, don't spam Duskbringer and Shroud of Darkness
Not as strong vs high CC comps
Doesn't work well with squishy junglers (
Master Yi, 
Shaco.. etc)
Runes
- Greater Mark of Desolation or 
Greater Mark of Attack Damage: Personal preference
-
Greater Mark of Critical Chancex1: I run this rune on every AD style champion, amusing when you crit people early on and they rage.
-
Greater Seal of Armor: BiS
-
Greater Glyph of Armor: For a lane that you think is hard
-
Greater Glyph of Magic Resist(Scaling or Flat): I run flat MR against scary AP's top like 
Rumble and scaling if I see they have a lot of magic damage in a team comp
-
Greater Quintessence of Movement Speed: Usually use these, movement speed is so good
-
Greater Quintessence of Armor: Read Greater Glyph of Armor
Masteries
21/9/0 - Vs easy lanes
21/0/9 - If you can consistently get buffs
9/21/0 - For if you just want to generally be tanky
0/21/9 - For against something like a rumble, you need to be tanky and you need some Mana Regen
Items
Starting Items
Cloth Armor 
Health Potion x5 - Against an AD top
Boots of Speed Health Potion x4 - If you just want movement in lane, easier for dodging skillshot junglers.
