Tips Against Nocturne in the Jungle Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors
Smudey says “He literally counters us because his ult blocks our ult, he destroys us in longer fights, spellshields our taunt and clears much faster than us. My go-to ban, but you can ban something else if you don't think the enemy picks him.”
checca says “Fight Nocturne in the later stages of the game, as he has one of the strongest level 3-4 in the game. After your first full clear, you will be even with Nocturne. Be aware of his spellshield and fear range and duration. As Nocturne has an instantly breakable spellshield, once you get 20 stacks on your smite item you can break it. When casting your E on Nocturne, they usually will think that their spellshield will block your E knockup, which it does, but little do most players know, you are casting two abilities to break the spellshield. When you are about to land your E on Nocturne, use smite before you hit the ground. Most of the time they will spellshield last second. I would say this has a 75% chance to work. If you are ahead or even in gold after level 6, you will be able to beat Nocturne in a 1v1 if you destroy his spellshield with smite or your W.”
basrty1p says “If he uses his ult, there's nothing you can do about it since it'll make your map near sighting.
Try to regroup with your team and don't go alone.”
lovicoaching says “Classic example of a champion you will win a lot versus but might lose to when you're smurfing. If all his laners are winning it's really hard to make picks vs this. These people often play with Twisted fate also so in that case you can only front to back.
Do anything honestly, biggest thing is just not letting him ult for free kills to lanes, but you can sit in a lane with invis and countergank it. Do that 1 or 2 times and game is freewin.”
L1x123 says “He can abuse you in the early game, and if he does he will definitely get the lead. If he doesn't get the lead you can easily kill him in the late game(especially as Rhaast). ”
Davecraft16 says “From my experience it's easy for nocturne to get ahead thanks to his r. if he gets near you try to block his fear, use flash if you need to. This is one of the few matchup I recommend using Galeforce, so it's harder for him to fear and kill you.”
Heca diffs says “[12.23] He's a major threat, unless he has CONQ then it's even. You cannot ever 1v1 him before 3 items. Tip: QW Smite activate phase rush and run away from his fear range.”
Kukiziuu_ says “its hard matchup because if he snowballs early you almost cant do anything against him. Try to play near objectives and counter gank as much as possible. Both form cant 1v1 him either.”
Bhyure33 says “Nocturne beats you in 1v1s before lvl 6, but after that you can beat him almost always, unless he gets too far ahead of you. Try to counter gank, especially after lvl 6 as he becomes a huge threat to your teammates.”
ErniBurni says “R Evo countered Nocturne seine E. Deswegen sollte das Matchup Ez sein. Mit Bruiser Kha Zix counterst du sein Kit, weil Frozen Heart in hops nimmt”
RedNBlue says “Nocturne is a lower 3, almost 2 but just to be safe a 3. Nocturne won't be able to duel you early game, but you won't be able to kill him alone as he is just fast. Be careful to not over extend an over extend as if he kills you, you have lost your whole team the game.
Note - Try to counter jungle and keep him at a lower level, it will help you out a lot when it comes to fighting him and keeping him off your teammates. ”
Grakala says “This is the hardest jungle match-up.
You cannot fight him and you will need to keep an eye on where he is all the time in order to not get invaded, bc his W keeps you away from cc chaining him and his E can cancel your Q3 if timed correctly and he can also just ignore your winds lash bc of his W. ”
Riccardo126 says “Dueling with him is dangerous, as he can avoid your W or charged Q with his W, plus his R removes you the vision needed to countergank his R with yours”
Der Bestimmer says “Can dodge your Stun and ramp up his DPS doing so.
Bait his Shield and dodge his Fear as with Jax Stun above.
His Map Mobility is another big threat. Try to punish him with cross map plays every chance you get.”
MythicalMinute says “This matchup is odd. Nocturne has 2 main builds, lethal tempo with lethality or lethal tempo with onhit stridebreaker. If the Noc goes on hit lethal tempo, go AP and play out the fights, if he has gone lethal tempo with lethality, go Bruiser (Tank Oriented)
Bruiser (Tank Oriented) is preferred.”
RiaAllure says “I just hate this guys R tbh, mobility is another weak spot for evelynn especially if you're in low elo and you are just starting off as a new evelynn. ”
GiAEcchI says “You can not fight him pre-form, he clears as fast as you so try to start from the other side of the jungle. He cannot chase you through wall early game tho.
Ward inside his jungle after lv6, look for counter gank.”
Unfortunate 7 says “Purmaban this stinkshit cloud of bullshittery, has more macro pressure somehow, has a faster clear, has hard cc this mf will ruin your life faster than that one drug addicted aunt.”
spuki97 says “Annoying but not impossible matchup. It's hard to fight him as you need to save your jump for when he uses E to jump away. That gives him a chance to run away. Make sure to spam ping your team to be careful about his ult angles. Best build: All”
RengarNBush says “Skill matchup, do not proc his W shield since it gives him attackspeed, his ult counters your ult so be careful about your timing. You can cleanse his nearsighted, so if he ults and you can't see anything while farming, use your emp W and you will be able to see like normal. Items make him pretty tanky try not to jump on him if you can't leave his fear.”
MaximusWillCarry says “He spell shields your E and oneshots you. His ult makes it hard to see who to E. Tough champ to fight against in teamfights. You gotta rely on your team to deal with him but just peel your team when he ults.”
Atemporal says “Semelhante a Nunu, Nocturne irá empurrá-lo com força no nível 1 e você não pode fazer muito sobre isso. Felizmente, Nocturne não pode realmente vagar como Nunu. Você está feliz apenas em cultivar sob a torre e relaxar. Considere a pista de proteção antecipada para veja de que lado
Nocturne se move, geralmente para saber de que lado ele está. Respeite o poder inicial absurdo do Nocturne, especialmente o nível 2-3. E longe de seu medo se ele for agressivo. Ao jogar Ekko é muito fácil configurar ganks no Nocturne. Enquanto
você sabe de que lado ele está adiantado, ping seu jungler para vir. Nocturne sempre fará Q e então caminhará até o meio da onda para eliminá-la. Esconda-se fora da visão e W em cima de sua onda. Nocturne tem um escudo mágico, mas é completamente
inútil para bloquear o W de Ekko se Ekko for quem está se envolvendo. Como você está prestes a entrar em seu W, Nocturne usará seu escudo de feitiço, mas seu escudo de feitiço absorverá seu E e não seu atordoamento de W. Você também pode fazer isso mesmo que seu caçador não seja
lá, mas é meio inútil porque ele apenas auto a onda e cura mais de 100 HP com sua passiva. Jogue para sobreviver e escalar. No seu pico de Protobelt você já pode vencê-lo 1v1 se você jogar corretamente. Sempre W em seus lacaios quando
ele vai para limpá-los. É assim que você quer lutar com ele em geral. Se Nocturne atacar você com seu R, FIQUE PARADO. Uma vez que você ouvir o ""Darknesssss"" pare de se mover (a menos que haja muitos outros inimigos ao redor ou você esteja do lado de fora do seu
alcance da torre). Coloque um W em cima de você assim que vir Nocturne voando em sua direção. Seu W forçará o escudo de feitiço dele e, como você não está se movendo, significa que seu R estará em cima de você e dele. Ele não deve ser capaz de 100-0
você através do seu escudo W, então uma vez que você pressionar R a luta será completamente virada. ”
Saltu says “HARD to kill in the early game. But you should be able to RUSH AND KILL in late.
Very good at farming your team and his jg, still not as good as you so you still have that, don't lose your advantage.”
DixonTheGuideMaker says “Nocturne will look to power farm early so he can get level 6. Try to invade him and take away his camps to delay his level 6 power spike. Nocturne will try to get ahead early by ganking lanes that are immobile or are overextended. Try to track him in his jungle and counter gank lanes that are being ganked. If you cannot counter gank, try to gank a separate lane or steal his camps. Deep wards inside his jungle or around the entrances to his jungle will help your team spot him before he activates his Ultimate Paranoia(R). Try and get deep vision in his jungle whenever possible.”

domjakf says “Nocturne is easy to deal with most of the times, but he becomes kind of tough after he gets Maw. Somewhat similar to the Viego matchup. He counters your spear with his W which is really annoying. Make sure to kite him, or jump away with cougar when he has his E on you.”
lumihehe says “i'm not sure why because i'm not familiar with this matchup, but nocturne has a 42% winrate against gwen in the jungle? O_o this is new news to me. going by the data alone, i'm gonna put him in tiny catagory, although the sample size is low at only 88 games.... interesting”
Salmon Kid says “Noc w helps him avoid Lillia ult and his e is hard cc so paired with his ult he can get onto Lillia, but his damage output is too low to pose a huge threat. Furthermore, Zhonyas and frozen heart nearly invalidate you as a target for him. You outscale and out pace nocturen late.”
Farmer Cleetus says “Blue Kayn is a dangerous pick against a noc who plays bruiser, make sure to know which path you choose when meeting the noc by checking his commonly build items. If he's going bruiser then I recommend you to go rhaast, if he play lethality noc go rhaast or shadow assassin (dependant on the team comp). Also, Noc will for sure out gank you and much more, do not face him early because of his fear and free shield.”
Very Rxre says “u win 1v1, tear him apart. noc mains have downsyndrome so they will think they win 1v1. u have to save w after their stun because if your w is running while you are stunned ur griefing and deserve permaban. don't e when he has spellshield up as well”
Darksword255 says “Extremely difficult to 1 v 1. Play around his E, early it will fear you and you will not have time to recover to heal. Try to break his E or Hold ur E duration to mitigate damage. Hes tanky, Heals a decent amount and does assassin lvl damage.”
ItsAydam says “The reason nocturne is a major threat is because of lethal tempo and his fear. If he catches you or flashes on top of you he can beat you easily. Try to catch him off guard and keep your distance. Flash his fear if you have to and do not under estimate his damage. Galeforce and Tabi are really good against him and can help you beat him after your ult expires.”
Nik7857 says “Nocturne is really strong right now. To beat him make sure you dont waste cocoon on his spellshield. You can rappel his fear duration fully if you time it right. This matchup is similar to evelynn”
Dojyaan says “Outduels you. Very scary jungler. Doesn't have that much mobility tho. You could potentially win by baiting spell shield and then iframing his ult.”
NegativePhoenix says “Really good at challenging you mid-late game. His ult is a gap closer and his spellshield+fear make your W useless to gap close from him. Early game is your best bet to get him behind. Counter-Gank if you know he's going for a lane gank and hope your team can keep him punished for it. If he can't stay caught up or snowball then his power drops off insanely. He just has a good kit to fight yours overall.”
CommanderRexy says “Any champ that can out gank/pressure you like Ramus, Nunu, Warwick, and Nocturne will push their team ahead of yours. Your mobility is what makes you a threat, and as your Q cooldown goes down your mobility around the map goes up. Because of this, you out-pressure a lot of junglers through your presence and skirmishing ability. Nocturne out skirmishes you a lot and out pressures you post 6 so I ban him. You can still skirmish if they are dumb, but otherwise, be careful and ping your team for ganks from them.”
imminences says “Late game he isn't as much of a problem, but Nocturne can abuse you early and mid game. His stickiness in combination with his bruiser build make him difficult to get away from if he wants to fight you.”
Simple Shawn says “[TL;DR - YOU CAN CONTEST EVERYTHING EARLY THROUGH THE ENDGAME. YOU 1v1 HIM AFTER EARLY POWERSPIKE.]
[Nocturne is a big AAer that doesn't even build crit, so that's easier for you. He's like an ADC with less damage, and still has a lot of attack speed. There are still some things to be aware of : His clear is better than yours ; He has the possibility to gank from far away in a matter of seconds with his ult ; his fear is long ; his spellshield counters your taunt. If you manage to adapt to all of those, he becomes a normal ADC.]
[ADC/ASSASSIN CHAMPION]”
Turbotailz86 says “Can be a menace when using ult. He's not an enemy you wanna face 1v1 all the time early game. You have to get this champion by surprise and initiate with a E wall hit.”
resetwice says “His passive gives him a good sustain. You can avoid his Q using your Q on a minion or jumping a wall. If he R you, wait he comes and jump a wall to avoid an wall wil if he's stronger than you at the moment. BEST RUNES TO GO: ELECTROCUTE/PHASE RUSH”
Krast666 says “Get oracle lens agianst him, when taking epic monsters or doing about anything, use it and enjoy a life without jumpscares. Just watch out for his early game and his spellshield.”
Gobby says “Spellshield on W can block your first Auto attack from your passive and give him free attack speed steroid, Q trail hard to get out of even with your Q dash away. You both have a huge level 6 powerspike but Nocturne can easily countergank you at level 6 and outfarms you early to get to 6 faster. you outscale though.”
SunLongGod says “just annoying, unlike fiddle, he can actually follow you and deal high damage when you're being feared. Save your Q to avoid his fear at the last moment so you can reduce the fear duration. Qss if he is fed, or just avoiding him until you have core items”
Puddingb00m says “He will outgank you easily. Focus on reaching level 11 asap and keep warding. In low elo keep track of his ultimate and warn/ping laners who overextend. ”
NegativePhoenix says “Depends on how good the nocturne is at reacting and how fed he is. If you W him and bait out his spell-shield he'll rely on his fear to get you off of him or keep you still if you charm him. Predict him if you can to help your laner if you know where he's going and after a bit you'll realize how much he's lacking.”
Fapas16 says “say goodbye to your adc, nocturne has a spellshield and fear with really makes it hard for you to deal with him and he also has a lot of map pressure and teamfight durability”
quinn adc says “Pre 6 he can't do anything. The only thing you need to keep in mind is if Noc tries to engage on you, you MUST Q-E-AA instantly.
Q first becasue your Q will eat his spellshield.
If your E hits his spellshield, this is terrible becasue he wont be knocked back or slowed, which means you will get feared every time.
PR is op because if noc fears you, with PR MS, his fear makes you flee super fast (the interaction is the same as if you fear Master Yi in R if you ever saw Fiddlesticks Fear a Yi in his R) You actually live with PR even through fear becasue of that.
Save your combo to counter this engage and you are golden.
Noc has HARDCORE mana problems, so he cannot combo you much.
The matchup is free in lane, and if you Q-E-AA his R combo, you will live throug his only chance of ever killing you.”
Sammystinky says “His ult is pretty annoying since you want to E from distance so keep track of the last location of allies. Also, be aware of the spell shield, don't let it block E and you peel him pretty well. You out gank and out teamfight.”
duowithdeath says “Terrible matchup, he can block your R with spellshield, after 6 every time u show u die, honestly just dodge, otherwise perma avoid/ group with team and try to outscale.
”
BullwhipGriffin says “Nocturne isn't too hard to fight for diana once you get items, however his spell shield if timed well can negate a lot of your damage and it is also very hard to gank vs a nocturne because he can counter your ganks very easily”
OfficerVi says “He is a lot stronger early game since 12.17. Use R to avoid most of his fear. Blue smite can also be used to break his shield before Q hits. It is very important to track him in his jungle so you can be ready for counterganks. ”
Shro says “Nocturne isn't usually a problem, however, it should be worth noting that Nocturne does have spell shield and will use it to block your Ult! Try to bait out his spell shield before you Ult him!”
Boptimus says “I was debating leaving Nocturne in because his meta in lane was fairly short lived this season. That being said he has great early sustain through his passive and can poke you and waveclear well with Q.
A good Nocturne will hold his W until he sees you try to E them. A good way to keep yourself from getting Spellshielded is to walk close to him and see if he panic spellshields. If not he wont have time to react to a melee range E. If he does panic spellshield keep in mind that he might do it again and wait out the shield.
Use your Phase Rush to break his E tether.”
TimothyFly says “Build edge of night so u don't get blind when he ults so when u counter with ur r u can see where ur going. You can never 1v1 him, just play off counter ganks.”
EXFOLADINHA says “NÃO TEM O EARLY TÃO FORTE QUANTO O SHACCO, MAS ESCALA MUITO BEM E CONSEGUE TER ENGAGE FORTE, INICIANDO A LUTA NA HORA QUE ELE QUISER (O QUE NÃO É BOM PRO SHACCO). TEM 1V1 BEM FORTE, PODE IR DE IGNITE, TEM SKILLS QUE TEM DANO EM AREA (Q E PASSIVA) O QUE AJUDA MUITO CONTRA O SHACCO NO 1V1”
DarkMareOfficial says “Nocturne is quite strong. If you don't manage to kill him quick the whole situation turns around while he manages to dodge 1 of your abilities gaining attack speed and fearing you for 2 seconds. Care against a nocturne player.”
Majd1 says “Nocturne is easy to deal with in the earlier stages of the game due to his lacking movement speed and also because he is reliant on farm to get his ultimate. Make sure to kite him and play around his spellshield and you should have the advantage in this matchup. However, if he does get onto you he wins.”
WONDR says “His W is very hard to read and can be hard to play against. Both tank and assassin nocturne is a pain. Try to get out of his fear with your empowered W.”
ISwearImNotPolish says “Honestly, this matchup can go either way depending on who gets the jump on who. Look for early kills and secure objectives. Edge of Night works wonders. Maintain vision control and try to catch him away from his team if he ults one of your teammates and decides to dive them. However, he has strong gank potential early and his fear is annoying to deal with, so be careful and play around your team and you'll probably be fine.”
OPPMAN says “Nocturne is a great and strong roaming champion. His ult is a massive win condition for him. Nasus Beats nocturne in damage, but Nocturne beats Nasus in the game. You can still win, if you help your team as much as you can.
But other than that, I would BAN HIM.”
YoungTact says “Try not to face check him as he usually has an easy time sticking onto you with his fear, spellshield and Q. Would recommend the phase rush build. Note ur W doesn't work on his R but because it is still a dash will still do Damage to him if he R's on to you. Worth considering for all in's as it makes the difference. ”
Xyllow says “There are, I think, in total 4 junglers that can solo kill WW 1v1 early, on equal terms. This is one of them. Lethal tempo nocturne is very strong, and his spell shield will very likely block either your Q or your E, if he times it correctly. If he does not do either of those, you win. If he does either one of those, he probably wins. Be careful early game, as you do outscale him, if you accumulate the same amount of gold as him, so there is no point to force. If they are playing nocturne and tf however, it can be very hard to survive when trying to protect your laners. ”
x6Arnau says “This matchup is tricky to play basically because Nocturne with her kit can make you bulnerable for quite a few seconds during a teamfight.
(He beats you in every 1v1.)”
horror_in_dark says “Опасный противник, выживаемости меньше чем у Грейвза, но его испуг в 80% дуэлях позволит вас побеждать. Играйте против него с фазовым рывком.”
Madabc says “I can safely say I've rarely lost this matchup. Nocturne can be pretty annoying, but full crit items can make this matchup super easy. Most of the time you will kill him before his E goes off. If hes a lil tankier just sandbag till lord doms. ”
Agatrium says “Not a very strong pick into Garen. You are just too tanky and do too much damage for him to deal with. Once you have Berserker's, you'll kill him no problem. Just W his fear and fight him. ”
Janooobi says “To you doesn't pose much threat, you will have enough armor to take him on in a 1v1, however dealing with his ganks are tricky, get deep wards in and try to read where he will use R and counter and it should be a win from there”
DuckT says “Cethal Cempo
Similarly to Warwick, this guy's worth banning out. Pre-6 he statchecks you for approaching him. Post-6 he statchecks you for existing. Wouldn't blame you for going Shieldbow into this.”
officialwiseguy says “If you think you have enough damage, try to burst him before he can fear you without using your Q or use your Q before he starts his fear animation to get the most damage out of the situation. If you think you won't kill him before his fear hits you can use your Q as late as possible as he trys to fear you to reduce the CC duration afterwards. Qss can be a big help otherwise.”
Consolo says “Use chilling smite to break shield, stun. You can roughly figure out when he hits 6 and try to stay on his side of the map. If your lanes are obviously pushed up when he is on that side of the map, be there for the countergank. He is useless in teamfights, so play for your objectives.”
Twisted Tea Fate says “His ultimate directly counters yours, and can counter-gank you if he's on the same side of the map. He also easliy beats you in an early 1v1.”
Scythe Prince says “He beats you with his fear and Lethal Tempo keystone. Path around him. care for his ultimates you have to be there to countergank your lanes. both forms are strong mid and late game. Take down his spell shield through your smite and you will be good fight him.
”
Zehmox says “he has a spellshield and fear that prevents him from getting killed. but if you catch him in the early game in a knockup you are able to kill him. but if you dont kill him in your knockup and get feared by him you are most likly getting outattacked to death ”
blulemon says “Although he has a spell shield, he can only block one of your 3 CC abilities, take advantage of that. Make sure to match him with his ult by tracking him and keeping vision.”
Zero macro says “Nocturne litteraly shutdowns our R. We cannot Save our teammate from afar from Paranoia.
Recommended to always ban Nocturne.
Even as jungle matchup we cannot win if he Spellshield our E.
Outclears our clear.”
BullwhipGriffin says “Nocturne is another jungler that can pressure you early game a lot, can never really fight him alone because he can block your CC”
Elekktro says “Nocturne is much more of a threat to your team than to you. He can only beat you in a 1v1 pre 6 but he doesn't have a way to force a 1v1 with you pre 6. Do your best to counter gank his ult and it's a pretty easy matchup.”
sonminh says “Nocturne is hard to 1v1 because of his spell shield and fear. His ultimate makes it hard to respond to enemy engages. Get Banshee's or Edge of Night into him.”
J98TheGreat says “Nocturne is strong, but you are as well. Be very careful as he does have a fear and have a spell shield. He is very good with Axiom Arc, so this will be quite a challenge. Protecting your team will be difficult, but you have an advantage if you have a teammate that can defend your backline. Someone like Taric would be one such example as he can heal, shield, and stun to ensure safety.”
Brosinex says “Bastante mal emparejamiento, especialmente si se vuelve más duro. Básicamente, puede elegir cuándo quiere matarte cuando te ataca de inmediato para que tengas una mejor oportunidad de derrotarlo en 1 contra 1 si te lanza una lanzadera y queda aturdido.”
Da Mastah says “Has a strong early game, so try to out farm him and track his pathing to predict threats and warn your laners with pings. In 1v1 you can dodge his ult with q by striking another target with q, also try not waste q immediately against him since he can just spellshield and fear you, instead use your q to reduce the fear time.”
The Elysian1 says “Another babysitter... His clear speed is good , can say better since the last Q nerf on Qiyana. He can have a good control of your jungle and pretty much dominate you in a 1v1 scenerios. He is weak in 2v1s - 3v2s so atch him of guard. The moment he hits 6 , try counter ganking him and play for more obj. His late game is weak since you can just root him and do your R combo.
”
okynest says “all his skill set is countering shacos skill set if he Q you before you get invisible he can still track you also can cancel shacos fear or E with his W”
LoneDevils says “Nocturne is hard to fight especially with his fear you can't jump away and even if you jumped away he can still catchup with you, you cant 1v1 him because of his shield he can easily block your cc”
Zyvran says “The fear makes him impossible to fight, and the ult just lets him decide to one shot you at any point. Go Zhonya's and Shieldbow (not in that order)”
Pusi Puu says “You lose vs lethal tempo nocturne, make sure to kite him when he procs it by cleansing his fear and with your E. You win with full ferocity but cleansing his fear is a must do.
Don't get caught with his ult, make sure to stand in a bush when he ults. Make it as hard as possible for Nocturne to get lvl 6 so invading is really good vs him.”
Doubtfull says “Nocturne can spellshield your abilities messing up your q stacks, and one shots you later in the game with his ult. Take double armor runes and play very safe.”
NixLychee says “Nocturne counters Lee Sin, due to Spellshield blocking Q or E, so you can't chase him or kill him, and he can also Spellshield your ultimate, making it pretty much impossible to deal with him. Don't let him fear you. If you kick him away, his tether will break and you can deal with him. Basically, just break his tether and you win, although he has pretty good speed to chase you, so you'll probably need to ward-hop.”
KamiKZ says “Nocturnes kit is very annoying when you are playing Kha Zix, I would recommend to try invade him solo early and wait for him to use fear and q on the jungle camp and then jump on him. When you are in a 1v1 vs Nocturne, wait out his spellshield by ulting become invisible and then when the spellshield is gone you can use your full burst combo on him AA > Q > W etc.
Both Q and R evolve are ok vs Nocturne”
LordGrox says “Dangerous as a good nocturne can deny either your W or R. The fear is also dangerous, but can be dodged with your R. Will usually out-tank you, while still dealing crazy damage.”
SnowballBarrage says “Not a threat until level 6. By then you've had hopefully impacted the game to control the map. He may steal a dragon early if you aren't careful. As long as you take phase rush he cant chase you. ”
Riealone says “Another champion you can't duel early. But there is a counter play. Bait him to waste his E and run out with yours. Then you can try to duel. And of course don't use Q into his spell shield
”
Polarshift says “This matchup is way worse since Nimbus Cloak was introduced. His fear just absolutely ruins you if you can't dodge it by getting out of its range. Also his damage is quite high with Lethal Tempo.”
Veralion says “Do not ever attempt to fight this champion without your ult to either break his fear tether or partially immune it. He does an insane amount of damage and you will probably die before it expires. Don't contest a thing. Post-6, float around the most action-packed lane or the lane with the most kill pressure in conjunction with Nocturne's ult and look to countergank him. Tell your team to communicate with pings where he is headed. He can take away your vision, but not your ping buttons. You can see his Q on the ground through his ult, so look for that to figure out where he is and aim your ult accordingly. Wait for someone else to pop his spell shield before using E if possible.
Exhaust absolutely RUINS this champion. In fights, stay parked on your most fed carry and immediately pop Ex on his head and combo him when he tries to dive in. He'll be a free kill and you and your fed Jinx will mop up the teamfight. ”
Doubtfull says “I've never had too much trouble with this match up, but I know other people have. When you go underneath Nocturne he will use his spell shield, break it with your burrowed Q and then combo him. Use your ult just when his fear is about to land and you will dodge that. ”
Tormentula says “Nocturne struggles in the early game and Elise can gank way better than him. Save Rappel for to stall out his fear since the tether pretty much gives you free reaction timing, or alternatively stall out his Lethal Tempo with Rappel. Careful not to waste Cocoon on his spell shield, try baiting his Spell Shield with Q or W first so his shield pops on those instead of Cocoon. You can also Smite the Spell Shield later on when its upgraded. ”
Doubtfull says “I've never played this match up before either, but if you rush a Zhonya's it shouldnt be too difficult. Just be careful walking around alone when he hits 6.”
Arfreezy says “Nocturne has a relatively slow early game, but a powerful 6 item spike. Phase rush is very powerful here since you can negate the fear in the 1v1 by proccing phase rush and you will kite him while feared. Try to establish a lead before level 6 so you are in a position to counter gank or punish the first ultimate.”
Asternova says “RUNES: Phase Rush.
ITEMS: Zhonya's is obligatory, Plated Steelcaps is also a good choice.
GAMEPLAY SUMMARY: The demon of nightmares should be one your worst matchups, but there are ways to deal with him. Avoid contesting him in a 1v1 early game, but you can kill him with the help of allies. RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN away from him once he uses his E to break the tether, you can't afford getting feared by that, Phase Rush and dodging his Q should help with this, then bait out his spellshield with Qs, E and autos before ulting to make sure he'll get CCed.”
MiningRicK says “His Spaceshield isn´t effective vs you so go for E and then his Spaceshield is gone Q and do damage with your PTA. But with his fear he is dangerous.”
WildeBob says “NOT TOO BAD OF A MATCHUP BECAUSE YOU CAN 1V1 HIM AND DUEL BUT ITS JUST TOUGH BECAUSE NOCT CAN DOMINATE DEPENDING ON YOUR TEAM COMP. TRY TO FIGHT HIM EARLY AND WIN THAT WAY.”
KamiKZ says “This match up is actually 50-50. You can win this match up by kiting nocturne properly with E R and fleet footwork movementspeed and if that´s not enough, you can buy a Quick silversash to remove nocturne´s fear and then you should be able to fight him 1v1 even after 6 as long that you are either even or you as the graves player are ahead.”
Insightful says “nocturne falls into the same category as olaf, he can deny your crowd control while having a lot of damage aswell and keeping up with your tempo in the jungle, on top of that his ultimate is a very strong teamfight ability”
poopyOCE says “Use your E before his Fear is proc'ed (and lethal tempo is he is running it) as it will deny a lot of damage after. You should win 1v1s due to your passive and you can chase with your bloodtrail, always commit to the fight. Annoying matchup.”
SaltCat says “Annoying champion he can block all your spells, and then he just e you then aa you to death, he wants to you lose early game , and later you lose if he got the fear on you ”
NamaeWaMitsurii says “You can simply use your CC to stop him from using his fear. Try and wait for him to blast his W magic shield. Beware of his high gank potential and insanely fast clear.”
VukatornunazFan says “Nocturne isn't as bad as Hecarim but if the enemy Nocturne plays right it will definitely make your life hard with his heavy CC and high damage. ”
poopyOCE says “Skill matchup. CC his CC so he can't get the value off his CC. Wait for his CC before Bountiful Harvest. Be careful of his global presence via R. You have better teamfight potential.”
Karasmai says “Whether you go blue or red nocturne isnt too bad, he will afk farm and ult to gank so just try to get form early as possible if you’re rhaast you will easy win teamfights if you are shadow assassin wait for him to go in on you smite q W r to break his shield and one shot immedietaly”
MexBookMaster says “Limpia bien la jungla y tiene Ganks muy fuertes. Te mata sin duda en 1v1 cuando no tienes tu forma. Cuando tengas ya a Rhaast o a Shadow Assassin (Azul) puedes pelearle.”
Lynter says “Runa Recomendada: Conquistador.
Nocturne ficará puxando a lane frequentemente no início, momento o qual a Katarina deve usar seu Q para tirar dano dele. No nível 3, Katarina pode agressivar com QEW (jogando as duas adagas trás dele) e dando alguns AA e depois voltando nos minions atrás, deve realizar esse combo até ter certeza que irá matá-lo sem morrer para ele devido o fear dele do E (Unspeakable Horror) que irá parar a Katarina por alguns segundos. Nocturne é excelente para acompanhar os roamings da Katarina ou para fazer por si próprio. Por isso se atente bem ao posicionamento dele, e evite que ele mantenha controle sobre a wave dos minions na lane depois do nível 6, pois assim ele não irá gankar outras rotas com frequência. No início é difícil negar o wave push, mas depois ficará mais fácil. Um pouco de defesa já é o suficiente para vencer, como por exemplo com o item Armaguarda ou Ninja Tab. Evite ser morto em lugares sem visão ou lugares expostos a wards inimigas se você não tiver possibilidade de fuga ou de defesa com Zhonya ou não for capaz de matá-lo nessa troca, pois poderá morrer. Nas teamfights Katarina sempre será melhor que ele, mesmo que esteja mais forte. Foque-o com todo seu burst, pois até ele ter reação de usar o fear e ativar sobre a Katarina, você ja deve ter matado ele. O potencial de perigo de Nocturne é de igual para igual visto que ele possui muito dano e tem potencial muito forte para eliminação em pick-off devido sua ultimate.”
BullwhipGriffin says “Nocturne with any runes will beat you 1v1, his shield blocks your "E" or "Q" you lose the fight, if you can somehow get both abilities off without him blocking them you can maybe win a 1v1. However try not to fight him without ult.”
ak521 says “He counters your close melee range and abilities because of his fear. Once he gets lethality/armorpen, he also is able to shred you in duels or your squishies in fights. He can dodge your Q with his spell shield. His R also sucks, you don't know where he's going. In short he can rush past your front line. Stridebreaker makes him deadlier. Little counterplay aside from baiting his spellshield. GL. You'll need it.”
Frozerlol says “He's strong 1v1. Try to get him behind early set up vision in his jung and try to outjungle him throught cs or counter ganks/objektives.”
Rhoku says “Nocturne is tough to deal with without Ghost. He can actually cheese you early on if you can't kite him properly. You do outscale him hard and you will snowball on him even harder if you beat him though. The problem is that beating him is very tricky early on which is when he is going to be taking fights. And you HAVE to beat him. If you don't before he hits level 6, he is in full control of he game as there is no way you can outjungle him with how strong his ultimate is. You can either go tanky and peel your carries or straight up try to fight him and beat him in counterganks. He is VERY weak against invades vs you however, as he will have used his fear and his movement speed skillshot on the camp, leaving behind a free kill. His spell shield is annoying but make sure you trigger it with your W, as your Q and E are wayyy too important. He is also not the best at 2v2s without his ultimate so look for early counterganks.”
Kayncer says “HUGE Threat, try to counter gank a lot on this one and always keep track of him, otherwise he will 1 shot everyone if he gets fed, he can fight Blue and Red, the survivability on Red is higher tho!”
DjapeFromSerbia says “Hecarim have potential to burst him down, also u can protect your carries after he us ultimate on them u want make sure that you use your ultimate or e on him”
Insightful says “he has a fast clear, very strong duelist and his ultimate is equally annoying to yours, he also can easily play with sidelanes, this matchup can be very hard, best thing to do is group as 5 and try to get a good ulti”
izzlelol says “Pretty bad matchup especially if he goes bruiser. He can basically choose when he wants to kill you when he ults just immediately w yourself so you have a better chance at 1v1ing him if he does ult you and gets stunned.”
OsakaSatang says “if he has lethal tempo, don't ever get caught by his fear pre 6. You will hard lose the trade. Always keep W to interrupt his E. try to counter gank him.”
Lambda Diana says “He beats you in melee range has a spell shield can go ad fighter items. Just not a great match up for Diana best you can do it ward in spots where he will use his ult but never try to 1v1 him. ”
ItsSkoob says “Most will take Lethal Tempo and out duel you. His W can block your Q and Ult and his Ult provides insane map pressure. The best chance you have is if they go full assassin and you can one shot them. If they go bruiser the game becomes a lot harder.”
Ellesmere says “Nocturne is another one of those late game monsters, like Udyr. The reason Nocturne is so tough for Udyr is that his damage output is pretty much the same, but he can cancel your stun with his spell shield, and if he shields it properly he gains double attack speed which will almost certainly kill you. On top of that his chains can fear you if you don't break them. Ultimately if he plays his champ well, you will lose 1v1. On top of that, his ult is essentially a guaranteed kill every time it's up, so once he's 6 try and keep his jungle warded so you have an idea of which lane he's going to ult so you can countergank and turn it around.”
SketchtheHunter says “Ban either him or Kayn as they are your hardest counters. Noct loves to invade early and with his spellshield and massive attack speed there's not a lot you can do to stop him. I don't see him a lot so I usually ban Kayn but he's definitely a "dodge if you see" champ.”
Raggy69 says “Nocturne will hunt you down, ignore your root and cut you down literally and metaphorically. His Shield cancels your root and with his gap closer speed he will chase you down.”
Soulreaperjin says “The trouble starts as soon as he has the E and Passive in early game, but long as you have help to kill him in early game, then he wouldn't pose that much threat in later parts of the game.”
FrostForest says “Out damages you but can only spell shield one of your abilities
Look to collapse on him with your team
Don't 1v1 unless you are higher hp”
Suseri says “If you think you have enough damage, try to burst him before he can fear you without using your Q or use your Q before he starts his fear animation to get the most damage out of the situation. If you think you won't kill him before his fear hits you can use your Q as late as possible as he trys to fear you to reduce the CC duration afterwards. Qss can be a big help otherwise.”
Irmike78 says “His CC can give him an early lead in a fight and even kill you. His CC is a channel so popping Gwen W wont save you. My advice is to use summs as soon as he ults onto you and mash u R button on him so that you can heal back up. ”
RichMrFork says “ Nocturne's ultimate is extremely powerful as it makes it almost impossible to setup your combo with W and correct positioning because of the restricted vision. Nocturne is one of the few champions who can absolutely run you down if he catches you with missing cooldowns. If the Nocturne player is skilled he will always save his spell shield for your stun and continue to run you down with autos and Q. His ultimate is extremely hard to countergank as the range allows for so many gank paths and opportunities. He becomes more of an ult bot the later the game goes and falls off when your backline starts to build items like Zhonyas, GA, or Stopwatch. Look to punish him when his ultimate is down in teamfights as he is almost useless and has no reliable way to engage without it.”
Kayn Mains says “Do not engage on Nocturne early on. He beats you with his fear and Lethal Tempo keystone. Path around him as best as you can.
Watch out for his ultimates during mid game as you want to be there to countergank your lanes. Pay extra attention to vision and your minimap.
Either of your forms become fairly strong late game. Take down his spell shield through your smite and you will be good to go and fight him.”
LilPaniniUwU says “Interestingly, Nocturne actually hard counters Lee Sin, due to Spellshield blocking Q or E, so you can't chase him or kill him, and he can also Spellshield your ultimate, making it pretty much impossible to deal with him. Don't let him fear you.
”
metalhydra273 says “Nocturne has 1v1 potential, but that's it. Get around his spellshield with q ideally and if he fears you, ult right before the fear goes off to stall out his buff he gets from it. Like Rengar, sit on your team in fights and let him engage, play it right and he should die easily.”
LilPaniniUwU says “Do not engage on Nocturne early on. He beats you with his fear and Lethal Tempo keystone. Path around him as best as you can. Watch out for his ultimates during mid game as you want to be there to countergank your lanes. Pay extra attention to vision and your minimap. Either of your forms become fairly strong late game. Take down his spell shield through your smite and you will be good to go and fight him.
”
PulseBeat_02 says “If you are jungling against him, try to avoid 1v1 fights as much as you can, because you won't win them. He has a spell shield which can interrupt your ultimate. His mobility when he uses his ultimate is too fast and makes it nearly impossible to hit your Q, added with the blindness effect.”
Aqua Dragon says “Malzahar's suppression is much harder to successfully use against Nocturne due to their spell shield. Not only this, but because Nocturne can prep their fear from a distance, Malzahar's suppression will often be cancelled. Worse still, the silence does very little to stop Nocturne's rampage. The big saving grace is that Nocturne doesn't generally gank too early, giving time for Malz to farm safely.”
limeia says “Il a également besoin de son R pour de bonnes ganks. Farm jusqu'au lvl 6 et gank. Prenez attention a son W. Il peut esquiver votre charme avec lui
”
auileta says “Nocturne has just received buffs, so be wary of him. Sometimes he will ban Evelynn since you can, essentially, one-shot him and dominate. Keep safe from his (predictable) ult.”
Nanelol says “Nocturne is beatable but you will have to try to avoid him when he has his fear up or you will need to R when his fear is close to proccing.”
Sephix92 says “If his all in dont fk you up you might have a chance but he can cancel your cc and crazy all in you. His clearspeed is also on a fast level very strong pick against you.”
uSgSello says “Losing matchup.
Fighting Nocturne as Elise is not the best decision. Elise often win trades after only after landing the cocoon. Nocturne can easy dodge prevent your cocoon with his spell shield. Also he has a high damage output combined with his fear and movement speed.”
Vispectra says “You cannot win this match-up. Q does a lot of AD and gives him bonus AD. The spell shield will block your E which means you can't use it to slow him and escape , his fear has a long range and duration , his R hits like a truck. Of course you out-scale him but reaching late game might be a problem given how he will not only trash you in lane , but will roam and trash others. Ward and Ping often.”
qosmox says “His passive heals quite a lot, so you either need to take super advantageous trades or make sure to keep trading to stop him from healing up. Lvl 2 onwards you can trade with emp. Q's and use your E to disengage once he tries to prolong the trade. Use your W early in the trades.”
BlackFalcon2005 says “Right now, Noc is meta because stride breaker, making it hard for trundle to follow. Still, this muchup shouldn't be hard has you win in early game and you tank through late.”
MrMeem45 says “Another champion you can't duel, nocturne gets so many stats for free that it makes your Quickdraw look like a free cloth armor. Avoid him at all costs and stay nearby your low-health laners to try and countergank his ultimate.”
Doubtfull says “If he gets ahead he can ult onto you for free kills at pretty much any time. When he ults it can be hard to see and shield your team mates. Don't shoot your Q unless its pointblank range or his spell shield is down.”
PK Noob says “He has a spell shield which will completely negate one of your skills. You'll most likely never kill him unless you can survive long enough to get your ult off.”
legendtomi1 says “Nocturne with any runes will beat you 1v1, his shield blocks your "E" or "Q" you lose the fight, if you can somehow get both abilities off without him blocking them you can maybe win a 1v1. However try not to fight him without ult.”
RedNBlue says “Nocturne is about even with Master Yi and if they were to duel it would really depend on who was higher health and has buffs and items.”
Jhanthem says “Can be insanely tough to deal with, but not unbeatable. Make sure to INVADE early and don't let him snowball no matter what you do. He will typically ult your mid laner on CD and get a kill if he is super ahead.”
Amatzu says “A good Nocturne will keep your whole team afraid of him with his map pressure. Almost like Shen, every player in the game has to be aware of when this champion hits level 6. You can take Riverwalking to help mitigate this, but a good Nocturne will make sure to keep everyone in their lane or in their fountain.”
Cryastro says “His ult is a big gap closer and his abilities allow for him to stick to you well. Try to stun him when he jumps on you and kite him out.”
Strike1 says “Nocturne...this champ is really overloaded right now. He can stick onto you and your dash never really seems to get you far enough to avoid his fear.
This may be an instance where you wanna check out the galeforce build. the dash can save you vs him
The good news is, he is getting slight nerfs.
I was hesitant to put him higher threat because I think the champs just broken that's why he does well into kindred not because his kit counters you hard
(although the fear and ultimate really is a problem for kindred especially if he has red/stridebreaker to slow you down more)”
geek_not_found says “Early game, if you kite him well enough, you should be able to kill him. It is worth burning flash to escape his fear then chasing him down for the kill. Worst case scenario is he burns flash as well. Deny his late game as best as you can. R halfway through his fear.”
GuillaumeP84 says “Very hard matchup, this champ can cleanse your ult and your w. His fear still works even if you ulted. Don't try to fight him. Focus on ganking”
The Lass Isolet says “in the early game he beats you if you don't get out of fear, in the rest of the game he is the one who is stronger, if he does lethality it is very easy.”
Loul_60 says “A good Nocturne (and trust me it's not too hard to be that good, I used to main Noc) can easily beat Kayn.
Just like Fiora, he has an instant spell shield, which can cancel your ult at any point, or block your W.
Apart from that he not too strong, try to W him just before his fear kicks in.”
litecrunch says “He wins early dueling. It is very important to communicate to your team when fighting against a nocturne. He can one shot any squishy in just a fraction of a second. Try to stay together if possible. He is squishy so he dies quickly.”
liserith says “It's low-elo, and he's an assassin. The only reason he's not more of a threat is because you can react to his assassinations. If you notice him flying towards you, ult so you don't get fear-combo'd. His mist makes it hard for you to kite away from him. ”
shadowbloodedge says “His fear is what will tear you apart. A well timed fear combo into his Q and spellshield and he will eat you alive. But if he messes this up hes easy to deal with.”
Rudas2 says “He is good in 1v1s in general. You need to land your Q but he can just shield it away. His ganks with ult are faster so it's hard to counter gank in time, especially because you can't see where to accurately ult. It's not permaban, but just try to avoid duealing with him”
ShadowCross says “He's just really annoying to play against since his ult makes it so that you cant see through your own bushes making it hard to shield your teammates in a teamfight. Also don't fight him early you will not win.”
HeroAronNavius says “Nocturne can easily take you levels 1-10. He can fear you with his E which buys him time to burst you down with a ton of DPS. Try to avoid Nocturne as much as possible in early game. ”
chevy the sloot says “Low elo stomper. You usually never want to 1v1 him and his press R to gank is pretty annoying. Anyways he's useless in mid to late team fights.”
c0st0m says “Horrible matchup for lillia he can block all ur important abilties, q stacks e snipe r sleep etc
he will also easily one shot you with his r, buy zhonyas early and dont try to 1v1 him”
Tinjus says “He can obliterate you if you aren't careful. He is able to spell shield your Q, which negates a lot of damage in the early game. However you should be able to 1v1 him later on even if he spell shields your Q simply because you should have a high amount of CDR. If he gets the jump on you, you will take a lot of damage and die quite quickly if you choose to fight.”
Udyr uber says “Quando for trocar com ele, tente correr com seu E para fora do range do E do nocturne, e espere ele gastar o W dele antes de ir pra cima com o stun.
Tabi+Navalha+Espinhos”
AyeJa3 says “Do not ever attempt to fight this champion without your ult to either break his fear tether or partially immune it. He does an insane amount of damage and you will probably die before it expires. Don't contest a thing.”
Rubenvt3 says “A little harder than the Rengar matchup. Try setting him behind in the early game and play safe whenever you don't know where he is.
Try fighting him when you can surprise him.”
Bel37 says “his all in is similar to reksai. If he is even on gold with you pre 2 items he wins. you can trade ults and w to get out of range of his fear. After you get a defense item ( Steraks, Death Dance, or Guardian Angel) he should no longer be a problem.”
lolX9J says “Really disgusting matchup, If you Q into him you cant dodge the fear. Only counterplay you got is if he got no fear, or you can use your Q to get out of E range. otherwise the fear will always go through...
His ult can tell him whos the real Shaco if you ult after he ulted..”
ChaseMorePlz says “A true nuisance until you group and burn your spellshield. His post 6 can cause more impact around the map, so when he uses it be sure to group and make picks on him or his teammates. ”
ChaseMorePlz says “Does a lot of damage with his autos and has a great spellshield to block your E do it's pretty hard to CC him with it. Grab another source of CC to peel him off of your team and focus him down when he flies in.”
ChaseMorePlz says “Statistically speaking, Nocturne is one of Vi's hardest matchups. She only has a 47% win rate versus him in Platinum+ games. Don't allow him to catch you off guard, he can easily ult, fear, and kill you. Be sure to be prepared for him to do this to you and respect him especially when he is ahead, he is pretty strong.”
g0g0buffal0 says “His spell shield counters your q very hard. If the nocturne has half a brain, you can't win a single fight against him early. He sees your bandage coming, presses W, and you just gave him an attack speed boost.”
bolun says “this guy can blind you , you may ask : " bro if he blind me what can happen?" , well you see , you are chasing a ad , he suddenly turn on his R , well , that time you also have the R , you cant see the ad , so you cant R the ad”
Wolf Rengar says “Recommended: Electrocute Rune Page/Build.
Tips: Invade but wait untill he uses his E for camp so he can't fear you away. Save empowered W for his fear.
Nocturne will gank a lot but you will need to secure your laners by counterganking.”
Get Ricked says “Who gets ahead can kill the other. pre 6 nocturne beats you, after that you can win. Be sure to stealth when he fears you so he doesn't get those free hits on you. ”
G Spot God says “Cheese champ, even if he gets ahead, you hard outscale just damage control and try to counter gank where you think he will R. Don't let him spell shield your R, and if he does don't rq. (speaking from experience)”
DarkAuraLOL says “such an annoying matchup, avoid fighting him at all costs ,even if he's lower hp than you, just try to steal camps and get out, try to play on opposite side of map, only counter gank if your laners are strong , go for scaling , outfarming, once you get items and form you can manage , try to use your smite to negate his shield .”
KajiKumihoAkukei says “Nocturne isn't the hardest match-up for Fiddlesticks, but don't underestimate his damage. He has a tough time getting on top of people pre 6, but he is still a strong duelist. Try not to fight him early on and keep track of his position.”
EvoNinja7 says “He can destroy you in the early game, because his W can cancel yours out. He has really good damage with his passive. His Q does a lot of damage in the mid game and gives him attack speed, so don't fight him in it.”
suprfxivsilkshot says “Nocturne, Malzahar and Sivir have spell shields that easily block your ult and your Q. If you know they have a shield up, target somebody else.
Also, Noc can 1v1 very well against any champion, especially Sion.”
DarkAuraLOL says “such an annoying matchup, avoid fighting him at all costs ,even if he's lower hp than you, just try to steal camps and get out, try to play on opposite side of map, only counter gank if your laners are strong , go for scaling , outfarming, once you get items and form you can manage , try to use your smite to negate his shield .”
C7 Lord Pingu says “Honestly really easy match up. You can charge your W and smite him to bait out his spellshield and get a free stun. You kind of just outdamage him unless he's fed and if you go Kraken you can even kill him before he gets his fear off. If things aren't looking hot, it's likely in your best interest to use your dash to break his fear chain because at the end of the day it is still like a 2s fear.”
Tanzer22na says “very scary, basically guaranteed to give him his attack speed steroid. play away from him and make things happen when he doesn't have ult.”
KaynPlayer814 says “You both clear really fast. He has better ganks at level 6 then you but at level 6 you win the 1v1 against him. Both forms are pretty nice against him.”
TheSoloNinja says “Can block your W with his W. Is an extremely strong duelist and has CC. Ultimate counteracts yours as he can get to the fight as fast as you can.”
Dannala says “LANE: Fairly safe to poke, don't get hit by his Q or he can easily turn around on you. You still trade really good 3-7 roughly and can easily bait his ult under tower and Rappel down on him. Rappel through his fear has a weird interaction where when you are feared mid Rappel but still able to pick your target to come down on and remain feared.”
Snap0ner says “Don't try to 1vs1 him, even if he misses Q. A shield to block your Shiv and increase his atk.speed, a fear to CC you, high damage with his passive and a nuke that increase his AD. This guy is strong. If you're ahead you may consider killing him if he misses the Q and you dodge his fear with your ultimate. Focus on gank lanes and making your team ahead.
”
Ivern OTP says “Nocturne can easily get to your backline and with no vision, it's sometimes difficult to save allys with a shield. He also can build that stupid shield burst leth item.”
ractick says “His W shield will not let you R into him and he will just fear you and shred through you.
He is a hard match-up, usually not easy to 1v1, unless you one shot him with Blue form.
”
b4kk0n the Gold Jungler says “The exact opposite of Olaf. Whilst an AD threat with CC and a spell shield, Nocturne's greatest power is in the fear people have of him, both in Lore and in Game. If you work around his shield cooldown and have grievous wounds, Nocturne is useless. Plus, his 'global' has range, whereas you can just ask where he's ulting and ult back.”
Mirarkane says “Nocturne outscales Elise, wins 1v1 thanks to his kit. He prevents you from getting the offense control mid-game and late game with his ult. Very annoying to deal with. Good ban.”
ogilabadabahamdala says “with his w he can block all of your abilities and with his r he can come close to you which you don't want. When he comes near you try to throw your e first and if he throws his w then he can't block your q so you can run away faster than him or you can place e on your daisy and she will take him down easily.”
White Cr0w says “Don't try to 1vs1 him, even if he misses Q. A shield to block your Shiv and increase his atk.speed, a fear to CC you, high damage with his passive and a nuke that increase his AD.
This guy is strong.
If you're ahead you may consider killing him if he misses the Q and you dodge his fear with your ultimate.
Focus on gank lanes and making your team ahead.”
KevinThyAsian says “Don’t come across him often, however, very annoying to peel away from. His shield removes E cast and his MS is quicker than yours.”
Andygumy says “f you think you have enough damage, try to burst him before he can fear you without using your Q which is possible after a few items. If you think you won't kill him before his fear hits you use your Q as late as possible to reduce the CC duration afterwards. ”
Embracing says “Need to track spellshield. If he shields your spear you lose. Otherwise just play to range advantage and only commit to cougar all in once you can one shot. He can run you down with Q ms bonus so don't position too upclose. ”
SnakeTastic says “If the enemy nocturne is using a life steal build or Mixed with attack speed hes gonna outheal you with auto attacks i usually ban him”
Fresh Diamond says “If he manages to spellshield your fear or first Q, he has the potential to outduel you. Bait out his spellshield and kite him out. When it's down, commit and you can win.”
BoyWonder00 says “He can block your CC with his W, and can fear you out of your W. However, he is in a bad spot and is super level 6 reliant. You should be able to fight him if he wastes his E.”
Minase says “Super free matchup just powerfarm. He beats you pre-6, but other than that you win it. Look to charm him but use smite when he pops his spellshield so you can get the charm off.”
FalleN3 says “Nocturne does quiet a bit of damage but you should have little difficulty to 1v1 him in the early game. If he gets a few kills or you fall behind, it will become very difficult to deal with a Nocturne. He is not played very often but in the right hands can be a decent assassin jungler.”
FalleN3 says “He does quiet a bit of damage and you will may have difficulty 1v1 him in the early game. If he gets a few kills or you fall behind, it will become very difficult to deal with a Nocturne. He is not played very often but in the right hands can be a decent assassin jungler.”
metalhydra273 says “Nocturne is great at 1v1 against you. You should beat him everywhere else. Just make sure you play the matchup smart and it's easy. Don't let him spellshield anything important by using q, and if ult him right before his e fear goes off provided it's good for the situation. Otherwise lock him down as soon as possible before he tears apart your teammates.”
Xe0N says “He is a 1v1 beast and has a fast clear so he will most likely counterjungle you. Try to escape with your phase rush if he counterjungles you a lot. Farm a lot if he ganks a lot and if he steals your farms a lot gank a lot.”
Xidorian says “He counters your close melee range and abilities because of his fear. Once he gets lethality/armorpen, he also is able to shred you in duels or your squishies in fights. His R also sucks, you don't know where he's going. In short he can rush past your front line. Addition of Sanguine Blade makes him worse. Stay grouped and land a Bandage Toss when his spell shield is down.”
brSL7 says “Nocturne é um champ assasino e possui pouca vida. Sabendo disso a partir do Mid-Game com o item da jungle e o level 6 você já consegue matar ele. ”
Maintained says “Stronger dueling early, and stronger ganking pressure at level 6. His ult stops you from getting off a counter gank. You outscale depending on their build. You have better teamfighting.”
Coccaa says “Nocturne's clear speed is possibly one of the best in the game, due to his damage amplification and his passive. He will not be ganking many lanes early on due to his lack of ganking power. Once he reaches level 6, he will get significantly stronger and gank lanes more often. He will most likely try to shield your Q or R, so expect that when trying to fight him. He can also fear you with his E, which can lead to heaps of damage or you even dying. To beat him, try to corner him into team fights, and always avoid fighting him 1v1, as he is possibly the best duelist in the game.”
chasemyman1 says “Quite tought to beat as his spell shield blocks one of your abilities and you need to make sure your cocoon hits. If he engages and your cocoon is blocked you will die. try and Rappel to give yourself some time. Invade his jungle early to prevent his scaling.”
CinderTheSnake says “Nocturne will be really annoying early and mid game because he can spell shield your Q and fear you. You can win this in a 1 on 1 fight but his map presence will be much greater than yours”
McSushi says “He will fullclear pre 6, then gank when he has ult, and take objectives when they're up. if you don't stop him. path opposite to him if you're new to shaco, or invade with EXHAUST, AND MAKE HIM WASTE SPELL SHIELD ON YOUR E AND THEN EXHAUST.
because, he will basically be like you, except building lethality and damage, not crit.(with lethal tempo)”
Depresso says “He can spellshield your engage so if you can try to proc e on the shield then q. Alternatively if you can try to cover your teammate or whoever he targets with a bush and shield if you're nearby so the enemies can't really follow him in if he took a risky ult.
He can burst you and invade you however, if you're smart with your abilities it's definitely more escapable than any major/extreme threat level champion.”
PsiGuard says “You can still charm him after he blocks one of your spells and he has no reliable way to counterplay your R. You can bait him into losing fights by hovering near overextended teammates and waiting for him to engage.”
PsiGuard says “You usually won't be able to 1v1 this guy since he can shield your knockup (or your ult) and Lethal Tempo gives him a lot of dueling power. Your main advantage is your superior gank pressure after level 3, so try to snowball the game before he can start making plays with his ultimate. Nocturne's weaker in team fights, so grouping for 5v5s is usually a good idea past the early game.”
classicnoob says “This guy is anooying.....
Everything about this dude i hate Busted ass fear insane damage,Get a thornmail. And you can maybe 1v1 him but you know him 2 shots and You're dead...”
bluelunged says “Has a lot of dps and if he Ws your Q or R you're more than fucked. Don't 1v1, and try to invade or countergank if you see him nearby.”
FrickLillie says “You can be five kills and two levels ahead of nocturne and you will still lose a 1v1. The problem is he can just walk into your jungle and catch up with his shadow trail then spell shield your stun and after that his Q is back up so your R isn't enough to escape. If he is in the game your team needs to be very fast to aid you.”
DixeyNormis says “ghostman is quite good and vs you hes also good... you could kill him but hes still tough my advice is to know the champ you are playing well enough to know kill pick once he gets ulti he will poop on you ”
League Of Cursed says “You both are looking to gank at 6 and power farm until then. The only time you'd see him is at skuttle, and unless you have back up just give it up. He can spell shield your fear, have a delayed cc so you can't just start to drain, and has high damage due to mostly taking lethal tempo. combined with his q bonus ad and passive.
”
reganakers says “This is my least favourite Jungler to play against. He has a ridiculous fear thats combines with lethal tempo to make nocturne a great dueler. FYI he can spell shield your knockup so be careful.”
Dopamine_influx says “If the nocturne is good, he will be lvl 4 on scuttle, with full HP, and he will win straight up 1v1, even with triple Q. If he's bad, that won't happen and you win scuttle fights, up to you.
Later on, he's annoying because it's hard to countergank with his R, since you lose all vision. He can punish your team mispositionings very easily. You one shot him if ahead though. You can also just ignore him and play around your strong lanes for dives/ganks/objectives, but care about countergank with ult.
Emp W cleanses his nearsightedness!”
Xeldom says “Even match-up. Do not counter gank against Nocturne early. You outscale him. Remind bot lane to play safe when Nocturne's ult is off cooldown. Once you finish your lethality item, you're able to invade him and one-shot him.”
Jogress says “Dangerous, but managable.
If he fears you in the early fight - he stilll probably won't kill you. I killed Nocturnes in scuttle fights quite a few times...
After 6 he is a much bigger threat. Consider buying armor. Consider sitting near your pushing teammates - Nocturnes can gank pretty easily - so it's harder for them to refrain from opportunity
Mid to late you often can just outrun him with your speed, and your armor won't allow him to kill you even if he tries. That is - unless he is fed”
AWierdShoe says “Skill matchup, but one of the harder ones. Nocturne can stick on you pretty effectively, but as long as you dodge his Q you can kite him. You can pop his spellshield (W) with your own W or your smite so it can be safe to use your Q and R on him. Don't let him get too close, as if he fears you with his E you're most likely dead. If he pops his ult, try and stay out of vision or with your team to react. ”
DarkArbalist613 says “Nocturne is very weak early, so make sure to try to invade if possible. If he gets ahead he will become very hard to kill, so wait for counterganking opportunities and kill him there.”
Dreadscythe95 says “He outgangs you and wins 1v1s with you so when you try to gang somewhere away from him to get a lead he ults. Also Lethality doesn't help.”
Comrade Eshgrim says “His fear lasts forever and he will literally right click you to death from 100 to 0 before you could even press ult. Avoid or ban him.”
DoughnutFeel says “Outduels you easily in the early levels. Dont fight him for scuttle. Note that you cannot dodge his fear in alpha, but you can minimalize the duration by alpha striking right before it.”
nextonetwo says “beats you 1 v 1, can shield your q and kill you early, late game you can just ult him after his shield and if he doesn't shield then he can just die ”
nextonetwo says “beats you 1 v 1, can shield your q and kill you early, late game you can just ult him after his shield and if he doesn't shield then he can just die ”
Murderman5 says “Do not go aggressive and have a duel with nocturne alone, Nocturne can completely block your fearing ability and use his instead, Causing him to win the entire duel.”
Zailent says “Go Rhaast against him, his oneshot potential is greater than your shadow assasin. his fear makes him win the fight, so in Rhaast form you can just knock him up and get out of his range, or just use ult into him with any form.”
TotallyEclipse says “He's pure autos, burn his spell shield with your Q then e his damage and look for all in. If you fight him in his Q he can probably win, so be careful.”
Hide on Nidalee says “Hmmm is like Olaf match but a little bit easier, kite him and dodge his Q and you win the trade. Pay atention to your lanes when he peaks 6, just be atent to counterganks”
aldeo says “Same what on sivir, im main nocturne and his W can be so usefull against AP shyvana
Btw all champions with spell shield counters ap shyvana.”
Heihro EUNE says “NOO! you never want to play against this thing, his waweclear is similar to your but he can solokill you any time and spamm more effective ganks, pretty much he does is invade your jungle every time, only way to fight him is never turn back if you run he scares you and he is already killed you, the way is to kill him is to turn on him and do it fast you got more dps and dont use your q on his sheild(w). but its still hard! i ban him the most of times!”
DarkPit59 says “Nocturne dispose de très lourds dégâts monocibles et ne doit pas être affronté seul. Il excelle en 1 contre 1 et peut placer des ultimes dévastateurs.”
Vodka4Gaben says “Stupid champion, If he hits an E on you, DISENGAGE IMMEDIATELY. Unless you are basically Full Build with Red Kayn. If he mistimes his W to block one of your Abilities, ALL in him because thats the only chance you're gonna have.”
WickedPoppet says “You both are looking to gank at 6 and power farm until then. The only time you'd see him is at skuttle, and unless you have back up just give it up. He can spell shield your fear, have a delayed cc so you can't just start to drain, and has high damage due to mostly taking lethal tempo. combined with his q bonus ad and passive.”
LightBright9213 says “Rarely played but very hard to fight. He has a spell shield to dodge your E, and tremendous dueling power. Just avoid him. Late game he isn't that useful.”
Ionia King says “Save your E when you go in for ganks if you know he's nearby and going to attempt to counter-gank. When he comes in Q him and then re-activate your E so he gets feared.”
Sorrowful Prince says “He is forced to fullclear till level 6 so these are perfect circumstances for you. Even afterwards you can easily fight him because Camille is one of the few champs that is able to dodge his fear. You win the autoattack war if he is going standard warrior and needs to spellshield your hookshot. After his terrifying midgame the game is won.”
GinWinsky says “Major farmer, has a lot of CC, a spell-shield, second strongest 1v1er behind udyr in the jungle. You cannot 1v1 him with basic attacks. Only go when you have clone + Ignite. Ward his jungle and take scuttles.”
TrevorJayce says “This champion will ALWAYS win a 1v1 against you because of his fear. Your only hope is holding onto your second W to cleanse it, but even then, he has a lot in his kit to completely deny you, while most Nocturnes will also run Lethal Tempo and melt you all the while. Handle with care.”
Nico449c says “You can win every fight if you bait out hes e then stun him otherwise you will lose he got barely no ganking potential until lvl 6 so try invade him or abuse him early. Eventually countergank him.”
Ryttar says “Quite a pain in the ass, his spellshield will completely deny your CC, he's more mobile than you and his fear will cancel your W so you can't fight him at all. Just farm and protect your camps and aim for late game.”
lheisse says “his mobility and spell shield make him a big threat. Your q is slow and your ult is telegraphed so he will easily spell shield those if you aren't careful. If he lands a q you will not be able to outrun him and you will lose a 1v1 fight.”
KajiKumihoAkukei says “Nocturne isn't the hardest match-up for Fiddlesticks, but don't underestimate his damage. He has a tough time getting on top of people pre 6, but he is still a strong duelist. Try not to fight him early on and keep track of his position.”
Coccaa says “Make sure to engage when you know his W is down (it has a 20 something second CD). If not, he can W your snowball, fear you, and AA you to death.”
briguy1109 says “Save alpha to dodge his fear. Wins early game fights due to his passive attack speed, as well as his Q. His R is a great ganking tool, but bad when trying to team fight.”
Soulreaperjin says “The trouble starts as soon as he has the E and Passive in early game, but long as you have help to kill him in early game, then he wouldn't pose that much threat in later parts of the game.”
TSMyth says “Nocturne is a really annoying champion, you cannot do anything against him if he's ulting. If he ults you cannot ult then that means you cannot save your teammates. Because you cannot look at the map then you're unable to ult somebody else.”
The Top Bear says “DO NOT FIGHT THIS GUY. Nocturne's spellshield counters you entirely, since he can easily cancel your spear damge, then fear you when you go in. He wants you to go in, and thats what you have to do to deal damage. Just gank lanes and farm hard.”
RaptorDre says “He can W your CC and fear you. Do not 1v1 him at any time of the game unless he is far behind. Keep in mind he can only spell shield one ability.”
urrb says “He wins the 1v1 unless you get a lead. Unless you can catch him with his fear on cooldown after he uses it on a camp, he will just all in you and fear you and you will be forced to either E or flash away. Be wary of early invades, as his early ganks aren't that great, so if he doesn't have any opportunities to gank, he will likely look to invade. You can countergank against him, so try to track him and be where he is. Once he uses his abilities on your laner he won't have them to use on you. ”
brickdaddy123 says “The only reason why noc is an extreme level threat is cause whenever you q no matter how you time it, you will get feared and thats really bad for master yi.”
SeekerPTK says “Before level 6, Nocturne has a decent 1v1 but is poor at chasing enemies down and securing camps. Abuse him by heavily invading his jungle early. Try starting the same camp as him and then take his next buff with Smite. Aim to be the mountain he has to climb to get level 6! Try keeping track of his ultimate CD for your team. He becomes lackluster late game, so as long as you track his major ganking tool for your team, you can farm away and outscale him. Nocturne will be looking to gank or dive lanes with his ult. Hanging around with low health while Nocturne is in game is bound to make you a target, so try to use this as bait when possible. Once he uses it, he cannot cancel halfway through and will be stuck on whoever he goes on with no escape. When behind, Nocturne isn't great at defending himself in the jungle due to his lack of execute for camps, and a lack of mobility. Whenever he has his Flash down look to duel him. If you manage to dodge his Q, or force him to fight away from the trail, he will do even less damage.
”
orangepenguinhead says “Nocturne's spell shield is annoying and his outplay ability is really strong. Try to bait out his shield before attempting to go in on him. ”
HalcyonFox says “The main thing about Nocturne is his spellshield and his fear. He's not too much of a pain to fight. He can't negate your charm due to your W being hella persistent. For example: If your charm is ready to be popped, you launch your Q and Nocturne spellshield's the initial spike, the shield goes down but the Charm will remain. You can now use the rest of your Hate Spikes to charm him and get your damage off. If you're not going to kill him with your Q's and E, use your Ult to finish him off. If your ult doesn't kill him, you'll at least have cancelled the fear he was charging on you.”
Luthy2278 says “His attack speed early game is hard for YI to deal with, he is an assasin and deals massive amounts of damage in a short period of time. You have to be careful, if he gets fed he can one shot you. It depends who gets fed first, if you are fed, you can easily kill him, if he gets fed, he will one shot you and your team. ”
Quezel says “Nocturne isn't too common in top but if you do find it be very scared nocturne does a TON of damage and can easily 1v1 you early game and even later on once he gets sanguine blade. Buy seekers tabi and you can start to fight him but until then just farm the lane out and make sure you spam missing post 6 to prevent his roams.”
TheDrKlord says “Nocturne is your worst nightmare, he has strong early game, spell shield(block part of your damage) and fear, you can't trade him pretty much in any game stage.”
Simphoria says “Alright so as of S10 this guy is definitely one of the strongest junglers. Good duelist, strong clear, good sustain, big snowballer, has a spell shield, you really gotta be careful. If the Nocturne is not good, then timing your abilities around his spell shield or out ganking him is fine. But if the Nocturne is good, his clear speed can easily make a cs/level difference, his kit makes you dueling him impossible and while you can Q away, he is definitely troublesome. Try to be active with ganking but be very aware of your pathing. A few bad ganks or wasted time can send you down a slippery slope. ”
HackedAccountlol says “Don't 1v1 him. Lethal Tempo and his E alone makes your life miserable, however he needs to farm up till 6 so that he can gank lanes easily and get a kill 99% of the time. Ward his camps pre-6 if you can. Try to help your laners push waves if they are low hp and he isn't nowhere to be seen on the map.”
LFS_aXent says “Nocturne will have a similar path to you. You will be faster than him, so only worry when his ult is up, because he may try to sneak kills away on you. Be very aggressive after your bloodrazor, and poke him out. Don't let his fear land, crit and run or he has a huge advantage.”
DemacianStandard says “Nocturne is extremely hard to deal with because of J4's lack of mobility. Unless your team is nearby, it will be hard to get out of his lifesteal and kiting potential. Best option to counter him would be to build tank and anti cc items.”
Laverenz says “Wait for him to engage on another or at least for his ult to be down. It is pretty unpredictable who or when he is going to use it and teleport right to you and kill you”
today ill feed enemy team says “Invade him early as much as possible or he will snowball with him R, his ganks are very much better than yours before lvl 6 so if you invade him you can snowball more easily.”
Doaenel says “Nocturne's fear makes it impossible to win fights versus him. You need to avoid Nocturne early game at all costs, and focus on farming the jungle. Never step into his side of the jungle unless you have vision of him on the other side of the map.”
SirZeros says “Same as Rengar, when you see him ulting, go near a wall and tunnel through him, when you see that he's ulting to you. BUT be careful about his spellshield, he can use it after going through the tunnel, so use your Q sooner, or first auto him with a meep and then stun him.”
CryAwake says “A good nocturne can completely ruin your day if he times his spell shield correctly he can negate your stun and almost always kill you I recommend attacking with surprise to make sure he doesn't cast his shield, I usually ban nocturne.”
Her0mars says “He will be farming pre 6, so you can just stomp his lanes. Make sure your laners understand his catch potential. This matchup gives you a chance to demonstrate your skills by blocking him mid flight with E or R.”
Yuki H. says “Nocturne is an ok matchup, given he doesn't really have a consistent gapcloser until level 6, and his Q could be dodged and kited away from to prevent him from fighting with his bonus AD while on his Q trail. However, if he does manage to fear you and proc his lethal tempo, the fight is pretty lost for Graves.”
Andante Tempo Jungle says “Spell-shield is very strong against Udyr, be wary of fighting him. If he has Lethal Tempo he can just fear you and deal obscene damage.”
YouLikedThat says “His E will block your stun or your tiger, so wait for it to run out and stun him, always wait for his E to pop up and smite it so you can stun or tiger him.”
Scantie says “A well timed shield can block your passive, but will still get obliterated if you land your E + Q combo. Use one or the other to bait it out.”
TOYOism says “Easy as pie, he ults in top lane? you gank bot or clear his bot camp. He goes bot? you go top, this noc will AFK for sure if you mess up his camps.”
MrPuggles says “Only just barely easier than Jax/ Olaf. Nocturne is an assassin and a duelist, and will beat you 1v1. His ganks are very very powerful, and Nocturne will easily carry if he snowballs. His ult is a death sentence to squishy targets. A good way to beat him is to tell your team to play safer and power farm. You SHOULD be fine if you snowball and he doesn't, as Xin Zhao's snowball is very powerful.”
Yzroma says “Si il utilise son W (bouclier) sur ton Q il peut te 1v1. Prends le par surprise et protège tes alliés d'un R de nocturne. Balaye la carte et regarde au sol si tu vois son Q, tu peux le voir même lorsqu'il a utilisé son R ainsi tu sauras où il est lorsqu'il engage tes mates.”
pixelhidef says “Nocturne is not in the same tier as Nunu, but his Ult is intimidating in low elo and he can win a game against you and never attack you, just by snowballing his ganks. Be present for re-ganking, as he seems to do this quite often.”
HAMMERSLAYER says “He will play very passive during the early game while powerfarming for lvl 6, its good to rush a QSS against him and try to have vision of him around the time he hits lvl 6 as he will be desperatly try to find a lane to gank once he unlocks it, quite hard to 1v1 without QSS but still managable, once you reach mid and late game that you are more tanky its a piece of cake to kill him and always be mindfull of him ultying your carries while during a teamfight.”
Jungle Kings Rage says “Fear Is Bs Though If You Just Build My On Hit With Titanic And Gage Build And You Will Demolish him. Extreme Threat If You Dont Though Also Rarely Picked.”
Lil Trash says “No point in trying to 1v1 him is stong even in early because of his high damage and attack speed and also his fear and w. If he starts trying to use his fear on you cancel it with your ultimate. Gank lanes and make sure you try to win the lanes you are ganking.”
lolWillieP says “DO NOT 1v1 this guy, ever. Does insane damage early game. My best advice is to go ninja tabi + red smite and try to countergank him- he sucks in 2v2 scenaros”
LighterDay says “The main threat from Nocturne is the spell shield he is given. If timed right, he can negate Umbral Trespass. Bait out the shield with another ability or smite before trying Umbral Trespass. Until the shield is used, it's hard to fight him.”
Toad12138 says “He is much stronger than you early. Try to gank a lot early before he gets 6, after he gets 6, it becomes very hard, gank when he does not have ult as when he has ult, he can countergank easily and the fight will probably end in a 0 for 2. After you get form, you become stronger then him, just remember to ult his fear.”
Deltix31 says “Les duels contre nocturne sont assez compliqués. Essayez d'éviter si possible les 1v1 mais n'ayez pas non plus trop peur de lui.
Tips : Vous pouvez R avant la fin de son E pour éviter son CC et appliquer le votre”
Ricnnn says “Necessário comprar Tiamat pra dar counter na barreira dele, assim aplicando o stun e solando.
Também pode-se ser usado o smaite pra retirar o escudo.”
nZk01 says “His fear is very annoying and he can block your Q (Stun) and even block your W which will make him win fights.
Try to avoid him after level 3, before that get River control as he can't fight you level 2.
”
BigBadVoodo says “Must pressure early, he gets very strong with time so allowing him free farm isn't an option. It's pretty 50-50 for us. We can dodge his R with our R if we time it right.”
WiskeyANDGin says “high dps, dmg, he beats u with ease , u can outplay him hard with ulting before u get fear, get some items , get your spellvamp from passive/runes, in middle or late game he wont beat you”
xTheUnlimited says “Nocturne is in a loved state right now for a good reason: He just shredds. With Duskblade on him his powerspike starts and he will just R onto you and your allies and destroy them. Not much you can, because he can even block one of your stuns with his spellshield. Try to wait with your stun until he used it. ”
woofpack3 says “he's just gonna hard farm and you can't really stop him, he'll assassinate your carries late cause black shield doesn't stop the darkness and then your stun will mean nothing cause you followed this dumb guide and went off tank assuming that your carries could actually carry”
LePlay says “He has high dueling power, can block your E with his W, can easily fear you with his E and catch up to you with his Q. Oh, and you can´t do anything about his R either.”
PenguinOnStick says “Nocturne is annoying since he blocks your E with his shield. In the late game he shouldn't be much of a problem but care when you split push if they have a nocturne.”
MaRtOOOOOOOOOOO says “Don't try fighting him 1v1 if you see him just run he will 100% win. He will spell shield your Q and when this hapens he can just put his hands away from the keyboard and mouse and kill you with closed eyes. He will moslikely farm for lvl 6 and gank lanes with no flashesh or that are pushing too much. Try getting pre 6 leads for your laners and when Nocturne hits 6 try predicting where will he go and counter gank him. He wont be useful late game so if your laners are powerful than his you will win.”
Violzandre says “He's strong but not like a jax or a udyr, and you can easily avoid his fear, you can kill him (only if you have a GREAT advantage, or you AVOID HIS FEAR)”
Wulfery says “Only reason why you may lose is if he gets the fear off on you. Elseway you should be able to counter him easily. Dash E, hit him to remove his shield, then cast E, Q, W, his own ult and it's done.”
Yasuo Comunica says “He's strong 1v1. Try to get him behind early set up vision in his jung and try to outjungle him throught cs or counter ganks/objektives.
”
Elmunus - Udyr Only says “One of few champions that beat Udyr 1v1. Only fight him if you can dodge his shadow. your only hope is to out farm him, Look for counter ganks or permban like me.”
Loul_60 says “Nocturne is a very strong, yet weak jungler currently. (As a Nocturne 'main', although I don't play him as much now, I can give you a lot of insight on him...)
He has very good dueling potential with his fear and his spellshield both being strong against Kayn - He can easily block your Q/W/R with his W, so try to engage him when that is on cooldown.
Nocturne's Ultimate is the worst part, just assume that if you are seen by the enemy and he ults (Everything goes dark), you will be the target. Take advantage of him by teamfighting a lot: It will force Nocturne to build more of a bruiser type build to survive.”
GamingGaodzilla says “Outdamages you most of the time. If he spellshields your stun, you lose. You can attempt early fights with him, but after a couple items he just shreds.”
Markz says “He counters you in a thousand ways. Extreme mobility, more burst damage, spell shield, can fear you for forever. Ban him or don't fight him.”
OddOwl says “Can be dangerous if he lands his Q on you. If you dodge it he shouldn't be a problem, bait out his spellshield before you use your Q or R.”
TheGodKingSilver says “He counters you in a thousand ways. Extreme mobility, more burst damage, spell shields your stun, can fear you for forever. Ban him or don't fight him.”
Yi Guide says “Nocturne does quiet a bit of damage but you should have little difficulty to 1v1 him in the early game. If he gets a few kills or you fall behind, it will become very difficult to deal with a Nocturne. He is not played very often but in the right hands can be a decent assassin jungler.”
Abidd says “Singlehandedly Udyr's biggest counter. Screw this champ, he will out duel you, out damage you, and destroy you throughout the whole game. You can not stun him, and he has a lot more attack speed than you. Don't even try it.”
MetabuserEU says “Nocturne is in a loved state right now for a good reason: He just shreds. With Duskblade on him, his powerspike starts and he will just R onto you and your allies and destroy them. Not much you can, because he can even block one of your stuns with his spellshield. Try to wait with your stun until he used it.”
Castcade says “Nocturne is a champion i loved to hate and play his clear is obsurd you cant counter gank him or atleast you can try and if he can time correctly your e is nullified yes nullified I recommend playing safe and not to contest scuttles”

Tips Against Nocturne in Middle Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors
kaiba77 says “Before his fear goes off, use w so he cant attack. Save your e for after he uses his shield.”
AnxialSociety says “His 6 is brutal vs you.
Break his shield before bubble.
R to break his fear tether, into a bubble.
Can also dunk him over a wall with R.”
StralekS says “Not Playable: Conqueror/ Resolve: vs Assassins, Ignite + Flash, Doran Shield/ Dark Seal start. Play lane safely, farm, and when he wastes ability, punish him with Q and if you are in good situation go all in. Either go BOTRK rush (recommended) or full AP.”
basrty1p says “If he uses his ult, there's nothing you can do about it since it'll make your map near sighting.
Try to regroup with your team and don't go alone.”
BC1970 says “Nocturne's E is a literal counter to your abilities. Depending on the abilities you hit, miss, and what order you use them in he might completely destroy you. When it comes to your prison use it as a way of preventing him to walk somewhere, and not to trap him inside otherwise he'll escape easily.”
Atemporal says “Semelhante a Nunu, Nocturne irá empurrá-lo com força no nível 1 e você não pode fazer muito sobre isso. Felizmente, Nocturne não pode realmente vagar como Nunu. Você está feliz apenas em cultivar sob a torre e relaxar. Considere a pista de proteção antecipada para veja de que lado
Nocturne se move, geralmente para saber de que lado ele está. Respeite o poder inicial absurdo do Nocturne, especialmente o nível 2-3. E longe de seu medo se ele for agressivo. Ao jogar Ekko é muito fácil configurar ganks no Nocturne. Enquanto
você sabe de que lado ele está adiantado, ping seu jungler para vir. Nocturne sempre fará Q e então caminhará até o meio da onda para eliminá-la. Esconda-se fora da visão e W em cima de sua onda. Nocturne tem um escudo mágico, mas é completamente
inútil para bloquear o W de Ekko se Ekko for quem está se envolvendo. Como você está prestes a entrar em seu W, Nocturne usará seu escudo de feitiço, mas seu escudo de feitiço absorverá seu E e não seu atordoamento de W. Você também pode fazer isso mesmo que seu caçador não seja
lá, mas é meio inútil porque ele apenas auto a onda e cura mais de 100 HP com sua passiva. Jogue para sobreviver e escalar. No seu pico de Protobelt você já pode vencê-lo 1v1 se você jogar corretamente. Sempre W em seus lacaios quando
ele vai para limpá-los. É assim que você quer lutar com ele em geral. Se Nocturne atacar você com seu R, FIQUE PARADO. Uma vez que você ouvir o ""Darknesssss"" pare de se mover (a menos que haja muitos outros inimigos ao redor ou você esteja do lado de fora do seu
alcance da torre). Coloque um W em cima de você assim que vir Nocturne voando em sua direção. Seu W forçará o escudo de feitiço dele e, como você não está se movendo, significa que seu R estará em cima de você e dele. Ele não deve ser capaz de 100-0
você através do seu escudo W, então uma vez que você pressionar R a luta será completamente virada. ”
zidalee says “Pre 6 Barely any issues, but after 6 you might wanna drop some deep wards and be careful, really important to track enemy jungler when its nocturne.”

Dustyacer says “For noct jngl. (I don't think ive seen anyone play him mid other than in vids or me playing him). His r makes it so we cant see where to ult. Try to always look at map to know how the map is so u can do blind ults if he ults. Otherwise, grouping as a team is pretty good idea imo. When he engages his spellshield blocks our w stun, making him one of the best "assassins" into us.”
Azurio says “Really good 1v1 champ. Take your distances and try to avoid getting feared. Keep your E for his E. You can still do little trades if he Q the wave, but don't commit too much. Buy pinks for his roam.”
ThePieBeam says “Nocturne is a beast when to comes to Anivia slaughter. He lacks the range to be a true threat but post-6 his champ is just broken into like half the roster of this game. Your best bet is to try and crack his spellshield with E and Q him, while putting W in between you and booking it. If you're lucky the fear will wear off by the time he gets around the wall and you'll have a chance to escape with your R on him. Even then it's still a close bet because his slip-and-slide ability can be impossible to escape at times. If he tries to chase for too long though turn on him once your abilities come off cooldown and burst him to death.”
Xerathiel says “Maybe you are luckier with your supports than me. Easy to counter, hard to find teammates that do.
- Zhonya and Crownguard, Dont ult solo
Currently my Main ban.”
TcKatfish says “[Press The Attack Runes / Long Sword and Refillable Pots start.] Nocturne has little threat before 6. Focus on not getting hit by Q and grapple to maintain distance. Poke him down as much as you can until he is a low enough health to go all in. Freeze the wave and punish him for taking minions. Post 6 if you have done a good enough job securing a lead his Ultimate will not be threatening at all. If he is strong however just sit under turret and farm waves with Q. ”
lonestar1870 says “Be careful of his all-in potential, he can easily kill you if you're in the river alone.
Don't push in the lane post 6 if he has ult and thin he can ult onto you.
You can bully him hard pre-6 and can get prio easily. He has a lot of sustain, but you can still kill him and poke him out of lane.
Just remember he can spell shield your E. If he jumps on you, try to w-e so that he blocks your w instead of your stun.
PR is nice so you can run out of his fear quickly, but electrocute is good for more kill threat.
I prefer TP so I can sidelane more safely, catch more waves since he shoves waves quickly, and follow his roams. Ignite is okay if you are confident in your ability to solokill him.”
Camoox says “Heavy counter to yasuo in general. try to abuse him and bait his E (the rope fear looking thing) then go for short trades. Once he gets his first item he outdamages you for most of mid game.”
livikattt says “His ultimate is really good. If you're in a group, make sure to communicate who's getting ulted by Nocturne. His spellshield can block your charm, and he gets really tanky. Note that Nocturne himself is not the threat, it's Nocturne and how he and his team play around each other.”
WayOfTheTempesst says “Can't say I've laned against lane Noct in a very long time but from what I can tell, I think Noct can actually kill you fairly easily if you don't respect him. Windwall his Q if he aims it at you and take short trades against him, if he catches you and gets his fear off while on his Q, he can most likely full to 0 you with ignite. Dash away so he can't fear you and when you go for a knock up on him with 3rd Q, bait out his spell shield by Eing onto him but save your Q so he doesn't block it with his spell shield. Can buy an early cloth armor if you have trouble with his damage.”
Katawina52 says “This matchup is quite interesting, because I didn't play often vs it. Make sure when you go in that you always have the ability to escape when he uses his fear on you, if you do get feared you just automatically get fked in the trade. So ALWAYS go for the harass trades (tip 2 on general kata tips) Resolve 2ndary is good vs nocturne with boneplating for his all in when he has ult or when you go for the short trade. Just make sure you match his roams and follow it so you can be there asap, beacause nocturne likes to perma roam after 6.”
Avucado says “Just walk up and Q->HoB autos, that will be the only trade you can do this matchup. Shield has long cd so look for hook into e if he uses it. Don;t get feared or you have a good chance of just dying. He has better roams and waveclear than Pyke. Ganks are a free kill if your jungler/supp also has some cc, he will most likely try to shield your hook. Go longsword refills so you do more dmg with early trades and get lethality faster.”
Hullos says “Its like talon but not as bad, kinda. He has cc and a spell shield but less poke and burst. His roams only happen at 6 and if you play far enough back he cant kill you without ult. Force him to chose roam or lane kills and let the team know when he is missing fast. Barrier and exhaust give you chances to kill him. ”
Polarshift says “Out of position and you're death if you don't have Phase Rush to outrun him. You can try to poke him before he has his tiamat, but after that he can just shove waves insanely fast with his passive and then roam with his ultimate. If he runs nimbus cloak it's harder to escape him. Learn important ability cooldowns through an external website and fight enemies when their abilities are on cooldown.”
LunarVortex says “He can spellshield your Q and/or R, constantly push you under tower, outdamage you, outroam you and ult you every time you step away from your tower. This match-up is an absolute nightmare (hah get it). In the mid- and lategame, try to bait him into stupid engages and lock him down after he uses his spellshield. Buy an early Seeker's Armguard if necessary. Your W does NOT consume his Spellshield.”
Halfhand says “TIPS: Whenever the enemy picks this I avoid picking Twisted Fate into it. His ultimate basically counters your ultimate as you can't see anything. Since nocturne R is also a global it is also really easy for him to join in on fights where you ult to. He can also block your gold card with his W.”
CashLOL says “Really hard laning phase, the only way to get fed is out of roams or when you reach 3-4 items. He will permanently heal every wave which is why it's a difficult matchup. You can't dodge his fear with your ult either.”
ToHadesWithYou says “Not too common, but hard to deal with. His wave clear is insane and after level 6, his roam will be good to. He also can block your E.”
angeLoon says “lethal Dblade In Resolve Bone plating and unflinching
make he use his W or E to then try to kill him and try to dodge his Q.
you can block his Q
Chain vest if he gets too feed.”
Yasukeh says “Spin away from the fear. Make sure you are away from the minions he hits when his passive is up, because the free damage can add up quickly. You can fight him between passive procs. Don't let him roam to other lanes for free. If he does go for a side lane gank after a back, punish him by taking several turret platings. ”
iZianni says “Can't side lane, can't lane.
You can die though, try to break spellshield before using ult off his ult otherwise you're dead.
If he can't use fear tether, you have a good chance of turning it but post 2 items he's just unkillable due to lifesteal.”
Coldsong says “Nocturne mid has been popping up in the meta again recently, and thankfully he is actually a really easy matchup for Talon. Bait out his spellshield and if he tries to E you, try to get to a wall to E away. Also make sure to try to dodge his Q and you will demolish him.”
resetwice says “His passive gives him a good sustain. You can avoid his Q using your Q on a minion or jumping a wall. If he R you, wait he comes and jump a wall to avoid an wall wil if he's stronger than you at the moment. BEST RUNES TO GO: ELECTROCUTE/PHASE RUSH”
Oryann says “I don't really know this matchup, being honest. I saw that was very dangerous! (If someone knows why, let me know so i can put it here! :D)”
Katasandra says “[1] Don't line up with the minions & him so he doesn't hit everything with Q.
[2] Waveclear fest, beware of his roams (ping your team). Don't follow unless you got TP, just shove the wave and go to the other side of the map/take plates.”
TheSecretsWithin says “Nocturne is on the border of the Major tier. Some can even argue that he belongs in the Extreme tier, and I do not blame them. With Sustain and Wave Clear, both coming from just his passive alone, I'm surprised he hasn't been picked up by more players in lane yet. As one of the most annoying "stat-sticks", in my opinion. Q allows him to run you down if you get hit. A shield that blocks an ability and then grants him attack speed if he successful blocks an ability. A point-and-click fear that provides him even more movement speed to chase you down with (And I know that it takes time for it to fear, but with his Q movement speed, it is almost impossible to escape without burning a sum, without your R). And an ultimate to have global nearsightedness to all enemies, and a dash that takes you almost halfway across the map. You just need to survive to 6 and not underestimate his insane stats.”
TheDuskWalker says “Flash Ignite or Ghost Ignite. Electrocute. Conqueror is a possible choice.
Constantly harass him anytime you have your pool up. When he starts to channel his fear, pool when it's about to fear you. Otherwise due to the many nerfs to his lane sustain make sure to harass him but be careful for him perma roaming.”
seemes says “he can outduel you an any point due to his spellshield. if you seem him use it remeber it only lasts for 1.5 seconds. and you can use your q to make distance between you and him.”
shidonryoku says “His W increases duel potential and negates your poke. Q allows you to push hard with a passive and harass under the tower. His R will allow him to kill you or roam hard, you cannot push and take tower plates until you have accurate information about his position. Any mistake will result in death. However, it has very little mana.”
PRoli03 says “Rarely seen on mid but once is more than enough. Ask for lane swap with tank or hug turret. You win 1v1 at no stage of game. (Fleet footwork)”
Oxydation says “Try to stay out of your wave so he cant push and poke at the same time, bait out his spellshield and engage him after. Wait out his fear with your W if he tries to fear you. ALWAYS PING MISSING”
Joseph Evanss says “I haven't played the matchup a bunch but it doesn't feel that hard, try and bait out his e with your q3 to get out of the range and try not to break his spell shield and give him all that attack speed. Go Bone Plating, Overgrowth + D Blade.”
ahspaghetti says “you can go boneplating to counter his all in. take note on his fear, make sure that you always have a way to escape his fear when he does go in, once you do get feared you basically lose the entire trade, so against noc, you want to use short trades. he likes to perma roam after 6, so get vision and try to follow his roams.”
BullRedHunter says “Nocturne is currently SO OP just try to ignore fights with him if u don't have ult because you will die in seconds and he can out roam you”
InkHeiko says “To be clear, any kind of jungler that are really at ease to gank mid are huge threats for Seraphine, they might even be chosen by the enemy team only to camp you. Champions such as Nunu, Nocturne, Hecarim or Lee Sin are too dangerous: Ward rivers, the bushes around your towers to prevent dives and buy a stopwatch as soon as possible at least for the early. ”
BigBushMan says “Nocturne Mid is not the absolute best early, but neither is Akali now either, so just make it to level 6, try your best to match his roam timings, and just harrass him when he goes for last hits.”
Hiimkata says “This matchup is quite interesting, because I didn't play often vs it. Make sure when you go in that you always have the ability to escape when he uses his fear on you, if you do get feared you just automatically get fked in the trade. So ALWAYS go for the harass trades (tip 2 on general kata tips) Resolve 2ndary is good vs nocturne with boneplating for his all in when he has ult or when you go for the short trade. Just make sure you match his roams and follow it so you can be there asap, beacause nocturne likes to perma roam after 6.”
bboyxje123 says “Since lucian mid is a permapusher nocturne as the enemy jungler is a very high threat. This means starting from lvl 6 that nocturne will for sure punish your pushing. Try to dominate the lane before lvl 6 and after lvl 6 you should play safe in lane or even roam.”
wildersovereign says “Nocturne Mid isn't that common anymore, but he is an incredibly serious threat, especially to Morgana. His W is a real spell shield. Unlike something like Malzahar passive, your W will not break it, meaning a predicted Q can turn into a free kill for him. His ability to collapse on you post-6 is disgusting and his raw damage will turn you into a pile of black feathers faster than you can say "DARKNESS".”
invalidd says “Can be really hard because he's designed to fk you (beats you lvl1, can block your hook/stun/ult with spellshield, can countergank your
roams with ult and is really good at pushing the lane and taking the tower pretty quickly), but if you stick to short trades and outperform him in
teamfights and skirmishes with your ultimate it's winnable. Fairly easy to setup ganks on.”
lkycch says “He can block your stun with his spellshield, making him horrible to deal with. You have to E him, then wait for his spellshield to run out before throwing Qs at him. Just hope your teammates have enough cc to lock him down. If not, I suggest dodging this one!”
RedNBlue says “Nocturne Im not completely sure is a REAL counter to fizz but this matchup is a complete nightmare for fizz. I had it happed to me in one of my ranked games and it was the worst.
Nocturne will heal all the burst damage that you just did with his passive and his general built life steal. The only time that nocturne is good is when he's in the jungle and you are doing good as he will ult his way to you and you will 2 or 3 shot him.”
ThePandaEvan says “I know its usually not seen but, when you do see him mid, its going to a rough laning phase. He has a spell shield, a fear, amazing roaming, and an impactful ult. He has the capability of killing early. Play safe and put wards to stop a roam. ”
OxiteoMyst says “Mid or jg, he can just R you anytime and get a kill if you're alone. If you can predict his dash you can drop your W on top of yourself and have your team kill him.”
WolfRider01 says “Nocturne mid is just stupid. He presses E and just runs you down. You will lose the matchup most likely. Ask for ganks. If you absolutely must, you can take exhaust, but honestly in my opinion it doesn't make much of a difference.”
Jamakin12 says “Get your revenge for what he did to Fossbarrow! Nocturne is a bit of a cheese laner but as long as you play it properly he will be unable to kill you. Avoid his level one all in as LT will win that for him. He has some of the biggest mana problems in the game, so you can easily out sustain him. Make sure your team knows when he is missing, because Nocturne roams can be deadly to your allies. His aa range is 125 in comparison to your 175, so you can CS and trade easier than he can after you gain all of your abilities. Freezing the wave can also stop him from all inning.
Tip: If you cannot stop the fear from his E, activate your own E right before the fear hits. This will make it so you spin throughout the entire fear duration (3 second spin vs 2.25s fear at max level) and allow you to return damage to him. ”
Haywyre says “His dodge his q's to deny him movement speed and take short trades with him. When he reaches 6 spam ping your team all the time if you even have a hunch of him going to a side lane.”
Fadedreformed says “extremely hard, if you get hit by his q and you dont leap away you are gonna die in a snap of a second. Don't try to trade him its impossible unless your jungler camps you, take exhaust and scale or dodge the game ”
DaggerTV_ says “This is the most anoying laner. He will push in, will stun you if you engage, and will even doge one of your dagger damage with his w. Be very carefull when laning. Grab early armour, and after that you can engage. If he gets ahead, do not attemps to fight him alone-”
Arrgh Matey says “Early Tabis makes him useless. You can wait out his lethal tempo and he's useless. Keep in mind, your ult will keep him slow and ruin his spell shield.
You pretty much win without cheese once you have sheen and phage. Just be aware of his ult, some Nocturnes like to catch you by surprise by leaving lane, using honey fruit and ulting onto you.”
Proma says “Dshield/ sword + pots
Watch out for his spell shield and dmg potential.
All in all a skill based matchup. Look for trades when possible and avoid getting feared.”
RikudouDovahkiin says “Yet another jungler champion pain match-up when getting focused on. He firstly has a high damage output, he can also possibly kill some ADC's in like 0.70 sec'. Now for our part; you will be usually winning lane phase if everything goes well, since he does not have ultimate lane pressure over you and much chances to dive Vladimir, so cannot do much at the early game if you have played safe. But when you go roaming or duel with your opponent at front lines, he basically fears you for seconds and W does not save, cancels your 3rd Q's damage and ruin your team's vision. He has a squishy core, you shall be able to also ruin his jungle phase by well-timed games with your jungler, but care for his Malmortius + W, even if you could go 2v1 for most of the junglers it does not work properly against Nocturne, since he can block your Q, run like a zombie and added fear on the top of the cake. Do not give opportunities/chances him to execute needed movements, kill him in team fights when he dives into your ADC and such. Care getting caught in the early game, building some armour can be beneficial/vital against his abnormal burst. (Vladimir special problems)”
TaxEvasion says “a perfect assassin meant to kill babes like Janna
his spell shield and speed goop and scary amount of AD will destroy you in seconds. plus his ult is literally unstoppable”
Zoe Sparklepop says “High Minor
Bait out the spell shield or just hit him with an ability that's not a stun then the stun and you can easily harass him
Only problem you'll have is after 6 where you'll NEED Zhonya since his 6 is so good, just keep in mind to ping when he gets him and T R A C K him or he'll get fed.”
iDiedOk says “Nocturne HARD counters any melee champion in the mid-lane. Try to avoid letting him vs you in lane at all costs. Even with nerfs coming to him, he will be a huge threat on you mid.”
1256 says “awful matchup, shove roam shove roam, second version of talon besides the fact he is tankier, has a cc and spellshield, dodge it or gank him
fleet+dom/res, electro if confident”
only yasuo play says “Dodge...
If you are in a game against Nocturne,
best you can do is try to run from his e with your e on minions. Do not push wave when he is in lane.
When he roams, make sure to shove your wave under his tower.
If he's perma shove, try to ping for a gank. Try to make him use his spell shield with Q3 and ping for a gank.”
OnlyBanda says “Just ults you and runs you down on counter unless you are faker. also after getting deaths dance you have alot more chance of surviving. but till then try to ignore every fight u can with this champ.”
Zephorgames says “The best counter against Yasuo, you can do nothing against, just let him push and try to kill him in 2v1, Nocturne is very strong in early game but in teamfight, you can destroy him with your team
Camp mid lol”
topal says “Very underated midlaner .He is very strong and you can't all in him because if he W's your Eyou willl lose every trade and his global pressure after six can match your ult.”
Fhizzikx says “If you're going against a noc mid then look to poke him and don't go anywhere close to him as if you get feared you might be dead. You shouldn't have a problem laning phase pre6 since he doesn't have any real way of getting onto you besides flash. If he flash e's you then flash away before you get feared. If you try to trade back he will just use his e and block a good chunk of your dmg. Post6 you need to be careful of walking up because he can just ult you and run you down and there isn't much you can do about it. If you're going against noc jungle you probably won't get ganked before he hits 6 so don't worry too much. However this doesn't mean you won't get ganked since not every jungler plays the same and some might do some cheesy things.”
Capparelli says “Don't R if he has his W, get Tiamat and look to counter his shove, be careful around his Q in early levels, if he tries to fear you with E just canopy, as long as you play around him you will out damage him”
RockitoAhri says “Not particularly a matchup you will face on mid lane often, but still here are some tips for when he turns off the lights and comes do to stuff for you...: Always open up with W as soon as you see him travel towards you. 90% of the time he will spellshield that and he is open to your E and Q DMG. Do not ult away as soon as he lands on you. Do it after you charm so you escape his fear. ”
Kami_EU says “Unwinnable matchup, no point in trading with him, since his Passive gives him huge sustain in lane.
Best bet is to manage wave and not die to him.”
coongang says “this guy is the spirit of slavery, normally not a problem but bc hes a spiriti and u cant arrest him physically there nothing you can do. just call moardekaiser he knows how to deal with black spirits”
Jimmis says “dodge if he is locked in if you know he is mid, its not wotrth your time because Rito still hasn't nerfed him and he still one shots you because he roams. Practically talon, but on steroids. if you do have to go against him bc u already dodged or your promos, go chad build as its the only way you can stay even with him by getting a cheese”
Gogicha55 says “Spellshield, Good Damage, Fear, and Easy Roams with ult, Pretty hard to deal with. try to kill him before lvl 3 or shove and roam before lvl 6 and Get ahead and you will be able to 1v1”
vaske_lol says “Nocturne mid has too much sustain for you to poke him down, and too much sustained damage for you to fight him early. After level 6 you can avoid him, but he becomes a threat to your team. Freeze the wave, ward the middle of the lane and warn your team on potential roams!”
GESTAPOisHERE says “A jungler who could also sustain middle lane. His blade is annoying, but can be blocked by windwall. However, if you mess up, he can use his fear and easily destroy you with the shield. Wait for him to blow his abilities, then go in with ultimate.”
i am a heron says “you will not be able to keep nocturne off of either you in lane or your hypercarry at any stage of the game. his spellshield + fear will guarantee he gets on you if he's not stupid enough to get it baited out, and after that he'll just run you down and kill you. don't play ivern into this.”
DravensBukkake says “Barrier/Cleanse/TP.
Kind of a hard matchup. If he's good, he'll save spell shield for your ult and dive you with R. He shoves you in hella fast, and roams fast as well. If he ever ults you, ALWAYS hit him first with W Q AA, THEN ult otherwise you ulted his spell shield. Rush stinger/seekers. Perma shove him in.”
MehmetPower69 says “Nocturne is kinda like master yi in this instance, when he gets lvl 6 he will ult you when you are pushing or farming and try to land his fear if that goes of you can start saying goodbye otherwise just try to flash out of it or run away with a e ability surrounding you.”

Tips Against Nocturne in Top Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors
SesaPrime says “Nocturne should be locked in the jungle as he belongs & rightfully deserves to stay. In the top lane against Camille? No please. Let it go. I do not want to talk about it. Just LET IT GO!”
JustSad42 says “This is a relatively easy matchup. Nocturne will outsustain you in lane because of his passive and push the wave quicker than you in the first few levels. However, once you get to level 5 and the wave is at your side of the lane, you will win any all-in into Nocturne. A big tip is, when the Nocturne fear is about to Proc, you want to Q-W into the Nocturne since he will anticipate you using your W to parry his fear and stun him. Because you Qed first, your Q will remove his spell shield and your W will stun him. You never want to small trade with Nocturne since he will just sustain it back up. Also, you can’t back away from a fight with Nocturne post 6 since he will just R you to chase you. So, keep that in mind.”
JustSad42 says “He'll autoshove into you, you can use your Q on minions to try to get out of his fear range then re-engage. After level 6-ish + recall, you just outstat him in an all-in.”
Cryniu says “Coloco a Nocturne como una amenaza máxima por la simple razón de que es el único campeón que sin importar en que parte del mapa esté, él puede impedir que uses tu R. Recuerda que la R de Nocturne oscurece el ambiente lo que evita que se usen teleportaciónes, incluida la R de Shen. Por lo general para cuando se ha desvanecido la oscuridad de Nocturne tu aliado o aliados ya han muerto, de preferencia evita jugar contra él. Si te ves obligado a jugar contra Nocturne, te recomiendo usar tu R rápido o usarla entre tiempos donde él no tenga su definitiva.”
Smudey says “He literally counters us because his ult blocks our ult, he destroys us in longer fights, spellshields our taunt and clears much faster than us. My go-to ban, but you can ban something else if you don't think the enemy picks him.”
DixonTheGuideMaker says “Nocturne will look to power farm early so he can get level 6. Try to invade him and take away his camps to delay his level 6 power spike. Nocturne will try to get ahead early by ganking lanes that are immobile or are overextended. Try to track him in his jungle and counter gank lanes that are being ganked. If you cannot counter gank, try to gank a separate lane or steal his camps. Deep wards inside his jungle or around the entrances to his jungle will help your team spot him before he activates his Ultimate Paranoia(R). Try and get deep vision in his jungle whenever possible.”
Oogaboogaga says “Can 1v1 you top and jungle if he spell shields your silence. Try to not proc his shield to give him extra attack speed. I believe noc top was nerfed but do not underestimate.”
NegativePhoenix says “Be careful of his fear, even if you have tenacity runes, as it can make him win a fight. Besides that though you win most engages against him especially if you keep him in check and counter-gank since his spell shield is basically useless against you. If he can't get ahead or gets behind he's pretty useless against you. His passive got a tiny update to help last hit minions but it doesn't affect much.”
CosmicTurtle88 says “Pretty easy since nerfs, basically like easier Fiora given the spellshield hold your Swallow/Stun until it's timed out and you shouldn't be able to lose. Bramble is very good here ”
7EyesNoSkills says “Some people plays this guy in toplane, don't let him fear you. If he is jungle, when he ults you are dead. You can take QSS against this matchup, you will have a chance to kill him in mid/late game. [Jungler]”
kurbart says “Noctune aka yep hes gonna camp you
======================================
when it comes down to noctune your a sitting duck to him most of the time his gonna fly out the jungle with is ult spell shield ready to negate your stun to you, you should stick around your team and be safe but that also wont stop him .....you could buy hourglass and use it after he ults you to have him looking silly there just annoying to fight him”
Potent213 says “Recommend: Conq
Try to dodge his poke and hit Q's, level 3 you can look for engages if he tries to shield your W, you can either E to pop the shield if they use it early and then W, or you can QW hoping they fail and miss-time it, although if you fail the QW it is really dangerous.(In High Elo I recommend just tanking the fear, unless you see them actively using it early, they typically can react better, just use parry on his next Q or an AA, a trick I like doing is moving into the bush to use parry as they won't be able to react and block it.).
You really want to fight once you get level 6 especially with ironspike whip, it's a huge powerspike, and well his ultimate isn't the best for 1v1 so abuse that and wards in lane are helpful for his roams to keep info.
Care not to let him sustain 24/7 with minions, (thankfully it got nerfed), and respect the ignite and ask for jungler help if they do have ignite as it's free ganks.”
MHLoppy says “If he takes Lethal Tempo he can actually 1v1 you decently at levels 2-5 because of his fear stacked on top of quite potent DPS. Once you have 6 to prevent the fear and add some more damage of your own you should go back to easily winning fights though. It's plausible that during levels 2-5 you can win a fight by waiting out his fear's duration then popping W and hitting him until one of you dies, but unless you're feeling confident about it it'd be safer to wait for your level 6.”
Sovereign Kitten says “Nocturne will utilize his (R) to latch onto you from a long distance, and it's his most common playstyle to latch into anyone. However, it is absolutely very important for you to have a shroom placed behind you or in a general location so that when he does get to you, you can kite him through them before he channels his fear into you. You should NEVER blow your (Q) immediately as he will spell shield it. Let your shroom pop it, before you get feared or wait 2 seconds before the fear activates, most players will activate it pre ult or as they land, which allows you to blind him during this duration long enough to retaliate. If you know he's going to (R) you and you're alone, entering stealth with a shroom at your feet can save you the hassle and set you up to duel him. It can be hard to track him, so make sure you try your best to ward deep.”
LunaticDancer says “Only any dangerous if he ganks with ult. If he does, cage under yourself and get out of E range. Let the Maiden pop his shield before using E on him. If you land the E, he dies.”
Drake6401 says “Really strong level 2 and you can't afford to burn a Fury W on his spell shield. It only lasts 1.5 seconds, so if he uses it early, just auto attack him once or twice until it's gone. If you're low HP when he uses it gets tricky so try to stay up in HP around him. Keep in mind that his ultimate's nearsighted debuff may be masking an incoming gank, so think before you fight or run. Steel-Caps are a good item rush. His core damage is auto attacks.”
ToothlessKnight says “Very strong lane champion. He can use his W spell shield to counter your E and Ult. Most Nocturnes will rush tiamat and perma roam and you cannot match his waveclear. Ping where you think he's mia and pray your teammates listen. You cannot tp to your team when he ults as the map is dark. You do win most 1v1s even during the early game, he's just a fairly cheesy champion.”
xPetu says “Tips: QSS his R near-sight if you want to ult. Take short trades. Try to maximize the amount of AAs blocked by your W. Passive shield his Q.”
BoilTheOil says “Rush Plated Steelcaps if possible. He can block your W with his W so only use it right as you're going to get feared so you can block damage while feared. ”
Phrxshn says “If Nocturne used his Umbra Blades(Passive) on minions consider trading against him. Dodge his Duskbringer(Q) and avoid fighting him in the Duskbringer AOE as he gains extra movement speed along with ghost effect and extra physical damage. Get out of his tether of Unspeakable Horror(E) or received damage along with fear debuff. Bait his Shroud of Darkness(W) or your Fling won't activate and you get punished due to his double stats on his passive and attack speed. (Mega Adhesive prevents him from recasting Paranoia which is his ultimate) (Shroud of Darkness overrides Fling) (Recommended Items: Plated Steelcaps, Rylai's Scepter) (Sustained 1v1 Trades: Even) (Outscaling Edge: Singed)”
quinn adc says “Pre 6 he can't do anything. The only thing you need to keep in mind is if Noc tries to engage on you, you MUST Q-E-AA instantly.
Q first becasue your Q will eat his spellshield.
If your E hits his spellshield, this is terrible becasue he wont be knocked back or slowed, which means you will get feared every time.
PR is op because if noc fears you, with PR MS, his fear makes you flee super fast (the interaction is the same as if you fear Master Yi in R if you ever saw Fiddlesticks Fear a Yi in his R) You actually live with PR even through fear becasue of that.
Save your combo to counter this engage and you are golden.
Noc has HARDCORE mana problems, so he cannot combo you much.
The matchup is free in lane, and if you Q-E-AA his R combo, you will live throug his only chance of ever killing you.”
Phrxshn says “If Nocturne used his Umbra Blades(Passive) on minions consider trading against him. Dodge his Duskbringer(Q) and avoid fighting him in the Duskbringer AOE as he gains extra movement speed along with ghost effect and extra physical damage.

(Recommended Items: Plated Steelcaps, Bramble) (Sustained 1v1 Trades: Even) (Outscaling Edge: Dr.Mundo)”
King Turtle says “He's not very tanky so you can poke him down early, but once he hits 6 and gets mythic his fear becomes a major problem. His fear range is hard to escape from even with Lillia if you don't have stacks beforehand. You can kite him while hes chasing you to weaken him a bit, but you may need to play safer than youd like against him.”
LoLReal says “Trade hard level 1 if he tries to push the wave with his passive + Q. We win at all stages of the game. Make sure your team is aware if he is missing, as good Nocturne players will roam after 6. ”
Phrxshn says “If Nocturne used his Umbra Blades(Passive) on minions consider trading against him.

A_Drunk_Carry says “This matchup is really hard in lane. Noc beats up on melee champs. Luckily noc is played mid and jg much more than top, but it's still a possibility. Be prepared to go Doran's Shield, and play extremely safe. Try to bait out his spellshield by walking up and casting E. Then you can at least Wither to escape during fights. You will become more useful in grouped teamfights, aside from Noc's dive potential on one champ. Noc builds fairly squishy as well, so 2-3 bonks in late game will dispose of him. ”

LegitLechner says “His spell shield cucks you. He has great engage slow and dmg. Best method of fighting is bait his spell shield with q. if he tried to fear you use that time to land e's. Lane is winnable but very volatile pre 6. ”
SilverAvalanche says “Yeah good luck buddy.
An assassin that roams better, has better damage, more movement speed, better sustain as well as a gap-closer if you are not under tower. AND better wave clear. in conclusion, if you make it out of lane going 50 cs behind you have done much better than expected.
Go Exhaust instead of Ignite, and keep the trades short and in front of your tower. and ult when he tries to fear you.”
Rhoku says “TL;DR - CHEESE LANE. DON’T DIE UNTIL LEVEL 3. DON’T DIE TO HIM EARLY. KITE HIM WITH GHOST. PING LIKE CRAZY WHEN HE IS MISSING. CONQUEROR IS GOOD. DON’T LET HIM FEAR YOU. USE Q TO CANCEL HIS SPELLSHIELD.
Nocturne is a VERY cheese pick into Toplane. His only hope is killing you in levels 1/2. Be careful though, as his damage at these levels is surprising with Lethal Tempo. Your goal is to make sure you can effectively land you slows on him and kite him, as if you let him just stand there and AA you, he will melt your health bar. If he is allowed to win lane, he will be free to roam and wreak havoc on the entire map, oneshotting your carries. After level 3, he is VERY easy to beat with Ghost. Ping like crazy when he is missing as he will roam 100% of the time. He is also very good at working with his jungler, as he can essentially be in any fight that is on the top side of the map. It is also a good idea to play around lethal tempo if he took it. Steelcaps rush is a great way to guarantee the lane.”
YasTilt says “Biggest Yasuo's Counter in the TopLane. Try to play safe against him, Take Anti-Heal to reduce his Healing from his Enhanced Auto-Attack. Take Exhaust to reduce his Attack Speed.”
PK Noob says “His crazy DPS is already a problem, but his fear is the main reason you lose. If you can survive the fight for long enough though, you'll win. Stall him and kite him (Especially if he's using runes like Lethal Tempo).”
Avelon6698 says “Idk why he's in toplane but your only chance is to try poking him down when he runs out of mana in laning phase, but that may not matter cause of his passive's healing. He does fall off however.”
Psychopathic Top says “Not seen a lot, but lane Nocturne is pretty popular in High elo, and there are a few one tricks that exist in high elo playing only Noc top or mid. His lane control and priority is unmatched. He can 1 shot a wave with ironwipe and shove in, then look for Rs on the map. Make sure to ping your team that he has R once his 6. In lane, prevent a freeze and look to farm up. This is not a matchup you can fight even post sheen and level 6, so just focus on not getting dove, farming, and keeping up in gold and scale into teamfights. Nasus is a lot stronger in teamfights then Noc is, provided he isn’t put super behind in lane. The reason this matchup is put at threat level 5 because of his unmatchable pressure on the map. Noc R is just so broken in terms of snowballing his team ahead. ”
KoKoNwoo says “Early game he completely slaps you around. When he turns level 6 it is unsafe to farm in lane. If he doesn't use his spell shield on your e then you maybe win. His fear goes for a long time so prepare your w for when the chain procs the fear. Most Nocturnes will take ignite and teleport so get your jungler to gank him. He will be immobile with the lack of flash. You can get cheeky and stall your second cast of E to bait out the spell shield.”
IAmStryker says “Starting Items:
-Dorans Balde
Build:
-Whatever your team needs.
Lane:
You can farm safely against him until lvl 6. Try keeping your health over 60% so he cant just one-shot ult you. You DONT want to R his ult, but his E fear, so you have 0 down time inside the fight.
He will probably roam alot, use that tiem to farm up and take platings.
Late:
You will outscale him no matter what happens.”
Alan234 says “Go the standard PTA build.
Nocturne is gonna push you in. You cant stop him. But you can harass him in the meantime and if he is bad maybe get a kill. If he plays noc top he can only ult in the jgl or mid, so call out any roams. Go ninja tabi and/or seekers armguard so that he cant 1 shot you at lvl 6. Basically the entire lane is uninteractive, with kill pressure if he is bad. You outscale lategame but he is stronger midgame.”
JaxIsAHobo says “A relatively strong threat, this is a similar lane to warwick in that its pretty cheesy, but somewhat more difficult. Nocturne has high waveclear, unlike warwick, and has a semi-global ult, along with similar levels of sustain. Your trading pattern is to avoid his Q(shadows), and walk up to him, using E, and auto W as a trade, then leap away before his fear activates. You easily outscale him, and will beat him after 1-2 items.
”
SettVEVO says “These Jungle Cheese picks are annoying, he plays a lot like Fiora in the sense that he will want to counter your W with his spellshield, so just never use it without your stun. Sometimes Nocturne will just throw it out for attack speed. You win early on as long as you hit those Ws. That's really what wins most trades with Sett. If he doesn't get a lead he's much easier to handle so don't give him one, if you don't think you can beat him better to play passive and not give him kills then die trying to kill him. So just keep an eye on his spellshield and hit your Ws. Also be very aware of where he is and if his ult is up. He will want to roam the second he gets the chance so tell your team. Mid to Late you don't really worry about him but if your team needs someone to peel him off then you are that guy. Just wait for his spellshield to go off and ult away. He is a major threat because he is a solo queue monster, so sometimes it doesn't even depend on you. Just ping anytime he is MIA and if you can TP to help.”
Fryx says “He can block your Q with W so pick up Grasp in this matchup and max W for a nice hit on his face. A nice gank can help but it makes more sense for you to play for the team and make use of your teamfight ult. Don't let Nocturne roam for free punish him for every wave he is not on lane.”
wff010 says “The most important thing in this matchup is to save your e and w. Save both for when you're super low and he's wasted his spell shield. The rest of the time, just autoattack. You want to all in as often as you can because he has sustain. If you waste your w while you have high hp, you're gonna die. But otherwise, you win.”
calbino says “Nocturne Top got nerfed, I think? He stacks Conqueror relatively quick, and his fear can be very dangerous. Never use your W if he has his spell shield up.”
RareParrot says “he stomps your face in with q movement speed and you cant blind him because of his spell shield, lane is unplayable build plated steelcaps and prey your jg has a braincell left.”
ForgottenProject says “Do not underestimate this champion.
He benefited the most from the new Sanguine Blade item and he's currently really good in Jungle as well.
[1]You can Parry his Fear, it's not too hard to get the timing right.
[2]You should rush Tabis against him since he will probably Rush Sanguine Blade and most of his damage is from AAs.
[3]His R can be used to gank Mid quite easily so I recommend keeping your eyes on him and your pings.”
NxMate says “You should have the upper hand pre 6. If you don't get a kil pre 6 you will most likely be in trouble. wait for your Jungler and engage with him. Keep your distance and don't go far away from your tower. ”
Breadcrumbs says “Another fairly uncommon matchup, but when it happens, he's not fun to deal with at all. He has very high base damage and an incredibly annoying flee. W his spell shield if possible and then E, Q onto him. Look to get free autos on him with 5 stacks as he's quite squishy.”
RealIreliaCarriesU says “He is really strong with his passive and base damage however you have your auto range over him. Start E early on and let him push, he cant avoid pushing so don't worry. Once it reaches your tower you can stack passive and look to get free autos on him with passive stacked. If you get a few autos in you can win as long as you have a minion set up so that when he tethers you, you can E out of its range to avoid its fear. If you get hit by the fear you 100% lose, hopeless matchup if you have no minions around unless you are crazy ahead of him.
”
tibs2 says “Bramble rush. This match up sounds hard in theory but in practice he just cant get on you. If he ever tries to run at you with his q and then e you can simply q and walk away easy as that. He never has kill prio on you. Look to perma push his wave so he can't roam with r for free.”
negoZoma69 says “Need to give lane pressure lv1 or he will just run you down and chunk you. Noc has a lot of lane sustain, that combined with his spellshield and his fear he's very troublesome. Rushing Tabi/Seekers in this matchup is not a bad idea. You may be able to kill him at levels1-3 if he overextends though.”
SleeplessX says “Your kit is not good at dealing with his way of fighting, his ult is also an annoyance for yours. He will naturally push to you however, so you don't need to take risky fights, farm it up and trade smartly”
raede says “Nocturne is in both the toplane and jungle and in both roles he counters the Voliboy. A well timed spellshield can really mess up your combo and see him digging those claws into your face. By best advice would be to walk up to him and see if he spellshields. If he does wait for it to end and kill him. If he doesn't, walk right into his face, stun, and go for the all in. Its okay if the E goes spell shielded as you still get the shield.”
Kil4fun says “Nocturne top is a lot worse than you would think from the stats. If you don't get hit by Q he can't chase you down the path. He is really squishy and you can hard poke him with Q and E. Take a cleanse if you really need to get rid of that fear. ”
MarkFromSingedMains says “His spellshield, Q, and R all make for a difficult fight. You have to bait his spellshield before flinging him, and with his Q and R you struggle to run away from him. To my knowledge your W can prevent him from second casting his R.”
xxskipskipxx says “Try not to get hit by his Q!
Bait out his W shield before comboing him !
When he E you get out of the E range!!
He will most likely take Lethal Tempo and will proc it with his passive while farming, so try to trade after his Lethal Tempo expires and goes on CD.”
Defensivity1 says “Uncommon but pretty much always beats you 1v1 in melee so keep distance as much as possible and try to kite more than face tanking, When he has ult he can use that to kill you so careful at 6+.”
JannaMainOTP800K says “Nocturne can get to you extremely easily que to his Q and R be warry of his W because he can block your Q wich leaves you exposed if you dont have R ready. With E he will make sure to stay close to you and kill you easily. Take flash and ghoste to get away if he engages.”
EU_Toxicity says “Rush ninja tabi and beware of all-ins if he has ignite. When he uses his E on you, use W to break his spellshield and pull him with E right before the fear starts.”
wolfclaw3812 says “All assassins can shred Teemo, and Nocturne is no exception. Nocturne's main damage comes from autoattacks, and he has a spell shield that can block your Q. AP or tank.”
Defensivity1 says “Be carefull of his fear and try to kite him with maiden when you are level 6.
you do tend to win his all ins as long as you have grievous wounds (Executioner's Calling) ”
ERNESTSAURUS says “CONQUEROR / SPELLBOOK SETUP - CLOTH ARMOR + 4 POTS =
Noctune is usually a better jungler, since he wants to have more of a global presence around the map with his R, and if he is toplane he will usually lose a big strengh of his kit. so if he ults he's either already nearby your botlane, or he's helping his midlaner. Also they will usually go for an On-Hit build with Tiamat so you should be able to farm easily under torret, just wait for him to push the wave and once you get your lvl 6 and Sheen spike, you can look to do some short trades into an eventual all in, since trying to beat him 100-0 early on is sort of difficult. A good tip into this matchup is to look to use wither as he's channeling his fear so he doesn't get a lot of autoattacks while you are feared. Later on to the game you do outscale him but its sort of hard to tell when, so i recommend to do teamfights where he will provide less utility to his team than you.”
Grayified says “Lethal Tempo Runes and Build. Ignite + Flash. Long sword refillable potion start. Early game nocturne has strong waveclear and strong damage. He gains an AD boost when he throws his Q out and his fear makes extended trades really good for him. In lane, mostly look to farm, if he wastes his Q and doesnt hit it on you, you can look for short trades while it is down. If nocturne commits to you after his fear goes off and doesnt disengage, this can be a good time to look for an all in on him. If he does look to disengage and you wanna run him down remember that he has a spellshield for your W so try not to w into his spellshield. In the mid-late game you will beat nocturne in 1v1's but with his semi-global ultimate he can look to catch you out after you duel someone else or when you have low fury and try to win that way. You have the option to buy QSS when splitting against nocturne to get rid of his fear and run him down if you are splitting against him.”
Nabura says “He can burn your ult with his short CD R or he can push and roam to sidelanes. Make sure to shove out the lane when he roams so he misses cs.”
EntxRecoil says “Lethal Tempo Runes and Build. Ignite + Flash. Long sword refillable potion start. Early game nocturne has strong waveclear and strong damage.

HIGH TEST TOP88 says “He can spellshield your W or E to dodge your W, respect his damage from Q and his passive, go early tabi and you shouldnt have any problems.
Take bone plating.
Build bramble eventually.
Take armor.”
CulturalYokai says “he might not be invisible but he can just throw u his fear and him and the enemy top laner would instantly kill u, try to play a safe lane when u see a nocturne.”
