Abilities
Every few seconds, Nocturne's next attack hits nearby enemies and heals him; basic attacks reduce the cooldown.
Nocturne throws a shadow blade that leaves a trail, granting him bonus movement speed, attack damage, and ghosting while on it.
Nocturne's barrier blocks one enemy ability, doubling his passive attack speed if it does.
Nocturne fears his target if they stay tethered for the full duration.
Nocturne reduces enemy vision globally, then dashes to a nearby enemy champion.
Guide
Nocturne excels as a dive assassin in ARAM, using his ultimate to pick off isolated enemies and his spell shield to negate key threats. Play aggressively with vision control and look for flanks to maximize his single-target burst.
Tips
Use your ultimate to engage on isolated targets or to turn fights in narrow ARAM corridors.
Build lethality or bruiser items depending on enemy team comp; lethality for squishies, bruiser for sustain.
Max your Q first for poke and mobility, then W for attack speed and spell shield.
Save your W spell shield to block key enemy abilities like hooks or burst spells.
Use your E to scout brushes and check for ambushes in the single lane.
Combos
Q to close distance and empower autos, then E to fear and follow up with R if needed.
R onto a backline carry, then Q and E to lock them down and burst with autos.
W to block a crucial ability, then Q and E to engage and finish with R.
