Scuttle Contest
- You lose early scuttle fights as Nocturne has superior burst damage and spell shield to block your stun.
- From level 6, you can only win 1v1s if you dodge his Q with your Q jump and have Counterstrike ready to block his auto attacks.
Predicted Jungle Path
- Nocturne will likely start bot side for leash then clear towards top, looking for level 6 ganks on overextended lanes.
- He prioritizes farming to 6 quickly rather than early skirmishes due to his ultimate-dependent playstyle.
Invade or Not
- Avoid invading Nocturne early as he outdamages you significantly in direct fights and his spell shield negates your engage.
- Your best opportunity is post-6 when you can potentially 1v1 him if you land your stun after his spell shield is down.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste your Counterstrike early in fights as it's your only tool to mitigate his burst damage.
- Never chase Nocturne through unwarded areas after level 6 as his ultimate gives him massive pick potential on isolated targets.
