Nocturne. Born of darkness, raised by wolves, converted to Mormonism at an early age. Nocturne is the harbinger of death. He is a very fast specter, able to move around the map at incredible speeds.

I chose teleport for obvious reasons (map movement - ganking). I also chose Promote. Aside from small monetary bonuses, early game it helps Nocturne to be able to get a couple quick kills. You could also easily select heal or any of your other favorites.

Almost all of Nocturnes stats are built around being offensive. In truth, he is an offensive character. he offends his team mates with his mad ganking skills, offends the other team by the ease with which he can kill them, especially late game... Attack speed and vampiric stats are all he needs. the more the better.

That being said, Nocturne can be kind of weak at the beginning. Play hit and pull tactics, this will give you a much better chance of survival.

Skill sequence. E is your friend. more e's the better. That being said, start with your Q. At level 6, get your ulti. then keep pumping E. W is nice, but I never get it until late.
