Versus Heavy AP

---

---

---

- Wriggle's Lantern - This item should be used for every Attack Damage jungler because of the lifesteal which is very useful in the jungle, the armour helping take reduced damage in the jungle, the attack damage which helps you kill jungle creeps faster, and the amazing passive of it having a 15% chance to do 425 damage to creeps, as well as this being able to help in the jungle it helps against attack damage champions, and the lifesteal/attack damage helps nocturne in fights


- Mercury's Treads - This item is very useful against any champion that disabled because of the unique passive of 35 tenacity (35%) also since we buy a Wriggle's as our first item Mercury's Treads give us some magic resist making us more tanky against AD and AP champions


- Berserker's Greaves - This item is very good with high Attack Damage champions since it helps them increase their damage output, same with nocturne, he gets a decent attack speed level from his W, but combined with Berserker's Graveshe has a very good attack rate making him very deadly anywhere on the map


- Ninja Tabi - This item helps well against AD champions because of the +25 armour, these have to be well considered over Mercury's Treads soon because of the removal of dodge in the game but still be used if the enemy team has 4-5 AD champions


Youmuu's Ghostblade - I personally think this item is the core for any type of built nocturne because of the amazing stat bonuses that it gives, it makes any attack damage champion deadly because of the +30 damage, +15% critical chance, +20 armour penetration, +50% attack speed from the active and the +20% movement speed from the active, all this makes an attack damage champion deadly when activated, makes nocturne a very "think about what your doing before you confront" target to come and fight in a 1v1 because the burst of attack speed amplifies your damage output greatly, also it helps for the armour people build with the +20 armour penetration, the 15% critical stacks well with your Atma's Impaler and Infinity Edge (If Chosen)


Frozen Mallet - This item makes nocturne great at chasing/ganking. You may be thinking why take this item over a Warmog's? If you do the Math part of the Atma's you see that Frozen Mallet gives +34 damage whilst Warmog's gives + 26 damage. The passive helps greatly for those times when you Paranoia in at an enemy champion and they try tor un but they cant because of the 40% slow and you can stick right up to them if your Ghostblade's active is ready


Atma's Impaler - This item works great with your Frozen Mallet because the passive of the Atma's with your increased hp from give you higher damage, the armour helps you become more tanky whilst still having a high damage level making you harder to kill, and the 18% crit works well with your and Infnity Edge (If Chosen)


The Black Cleaver - This item is amazing on nocturne because of the 45 armour penetration stack with your -icon=Youmuu's Ghostblade] making you very deadly to the champions that stack armour, the +55 damage which makes nocturne a force to be highly reckoned with, and the 30% attack speed which increases his damage output by a load and works well for his passive


- Warmog's Armor - This item is optional but still very good for those games where you need to be more tanky because a fully stacked Warmog's can give a whopping 1270 hp with will help your survivability by a whole load, also works well with your Atma's giving decent damage levels


- Infinity Edge - This item goes really well with your Youmuu's and your Atma's because all 3 of these items give you a total critical chance % of 58% added with the mastery you gain a total of 62% making your probability to crit more then 1/2 making you very deadly


- The Bloodthirster - This item is very good because it gives a base + 60 damage and + 15% lifesteal but the passive of this item is great because a full stacked Bloodthirster gives you an amazing +100 damage! and +25% lifesteal!, the lifesteal combined with your gives you a total of 40% lifesteal, so this is just for those times where you feel your damage output isnt high enough or your hp is getting low too often


- Banshee's Veil - This item is good because of the passive, block 1 spell every 45 seconds, making it very good with nocturne's Shroud Of Darkness, also good for when your having problems with AP champions it gives a respectable +50 magic resist, and the item also gives 375 hp with goes well with your Atma's giving you more damage


- Randuins Omen - I think this item stands out as the best item versus AD champions because of the stat bonuses and the passive, +75 armour which is great, +375 which goes well with your Atma's for increased damage, +20 hp regen helps you gain some health back when your not fighting, and the passive has a 20% chance to reduce the attackers attack speed/movement speed by 35% for 3 seconds making you hard to chase, it also gives +5% cooldown reduction which helps you get your abilities ready to use again faster, and the active of this item reduces attack speed/movement speed of surrounding enemies by 35% for 3 seconds, +0.5 for every 100 magic resist and 100 armour


- Force Of Nature - This item is great versus AP champions as it gives the highest magic resist bonus out of all items in the game, also gives 40 hp regen and the passive for +0.35% of your max hp turned into hp regen making it very good for when your in need of hp, and the +8% movement speed making you better at chasing enemy champions
