Scuttle Contest

  • You win scuttle fights at level 3 through superior burst damage and E blocking Nocturne's Q, forcing unfavorable trades.
  • Post-6, you only win 1v1s when you can bait out his W spell shield first or catch him without R available for gap closing.

Predicted Jungle Path

  • Nocturne will likely full clear and avoid early confrontations, focusing on farming to 6 and looking for R ganks on overextended lanes.
  • Expect him to prioritize bot side if his laners have setup potential for his R engages.

Invade or Not

  • You should invade at his second buff around 3:15 if you can track his pathing, as you win the 1v1 decisively at this timing.
  • Avoid invading post-6 unless you have vision control and backup, as his R gives him both engage and escape potential.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't waste your E defensively against his basic attacks as he'll simply wait it out and engage with R when it's down.
  • Avoid using W for gap closing when his spell shield is available, as blocking the stun completely negates your trading advantage.
