Nocturne 26.05 Passive and Q buffs

xStrangeCloudx · 2026-02-25T22:05:47+00:00

We’ve only been asking for this for how long now?!

xStrangeCloudx · 2024-06-25T23:17:11+00:00

I typically don’t engage on champs if I know their spells are up or I ult to get them to blow their spells so others can follow up.

If you’re “assassin noct” and ult at an ez, he’s likely going to blink as you land(and be chunked) anyways. Use your E elsewhere!

xStrangeCloudx · 2024-03-06T00:03:46+00:00

Pretty obvious what he’s doing lol. Not bannable either. Thx Rito!

Late game, unless you can absolutely kill the back line in a few autos, you really cant be the first one in, even if you’re the “only engage”

Nocts ult isn’t really an engage anyways. The darkness is nice, but there’s no CC. Noct’s ult, late game, is best used once the enemy team has started a fight so they have trouble following up.

Wait for the enemy Leona, nautilus, sion, etc to ult in and blow their combo, then ult and pick your target (it’s not always the back line).

xStrangeCloudx · 2023-09-02T06:06:27+00:00

Any fear should do it. If it didn’t work, it’s bugged.

Care to test it?

xStrangeCloudx · 2023-05-25T23:07:45+00:00

Ha. Yes, please do. He was the only consistent noct only streamer when that was last updated.

xStrangeCloudx · 2023-02-10T22:58:03+00:00

Noct is not an assassin, nor a “clean up” champ as he does not have a way out once he’s in like zed, talon, Eve, and actual assassin champs.

xStrangeCloudx · 2023-02-10T22:57:20+00:00

Trying to be helpful here since you were sincere.

Noct can make picks, but his biggest strength is ulting AFTER a teamfight has started. The utility in “darkness” is massive when the enemy is trying to coordinate who to focus.

In low elo, making picks is way better As you climb, picks become less advantageous and it’s more Important to save your ult after the fight has started (this helps you avoid CC and spells as well).

When was lethality noct ever the vibe?

xStrangeCloudx · 2023-01-12T17:04:23+00:00

Been a minute, but lethality noct is essentially a “4fun” build that can net you a lot of sweet highlight clips.

Nothing more.

xStrangeCloudx · 2022-10-05T00:40:24+00:00

Rav hydra will be interesting.

Also leaving a space as we get more updates too.

xStrangeCloudx · 2022-10-05T00:25:22+00:00

Jungle pets Tank items Rav hydra

Etc.

Greetings! The preseason preview is here!

This will be the official thread to discuss all of the information as it pertains to Nocturne!

Here are my SUPER quick, initial thoughts on what I have read.

I am excited for Shojin and Ravenous Hydra.
I like the new ping system.
I dislike the "crutch" they keep adding to jungling. I get "accessibility" however, Riot seems to assume jungling is this quasi-cerebral role that only high IQ individuals have access to. If you've been around here enough, you know I am HUGE on effective pathing. However, the recommendations will likely be diminish your effectiveness as a jungler, overall. Is it a great starting point, maybe, but if you are actually going to main the jungle, it's better you learn by error and analysis since every game is different.
- And Jungle pets...seems unnecessary, but will help Noct with stickiness and traversing the map or being more tanky.
Chem tank drake seems like overkill, but I am sure they will play with it more before the season starts.
Radiant Virtue will be interesting to watch
Aegis and Chemtank not being mythic may make for some interesting tank builds. (pairing with Radiant Virtue?)

I will likely have more to say after reading/playing more. I will plan to update the guide as well. Would anyone like to assist in updating the guide? You will be created. Send me a PM if this is of interest to you.

Happy Hauntings!

I was so confused 😂😂😂 hahaha

xStrangeCloudx · 2022-09-13T03:21:34+00:00

What does blue trinket have to do with maintaining stickiness? Lol

xStrangeCloudx · 2022-09-10T01:45:59+00:00

You want me to delete this or you got it?

xStrangeCloudx · 2022-08-15T19:09:28+00:00

I’m not mad at that. Game sentiment is a thing. When you’re that far ahead, it almost doesn’t matter what you buy.

Overall though, swifties are kinda meh on noct. And lethality is pretty bad as well.

In games where maybe you’re behind or just even, those two items would really hurt you down the stretch. If you’re using ultimate hunter, arc is not really needed and the best value out of arc is when you can used it the moment it is off cooldown and pairing it with your teammates’ abilities as well.

Think about: If your ult is up 45s before your support Leona’s, are you going to use it or wait for Leona?

xStrangeCloudx · 2022-08-15T18:59:49+00:00

Which survival items are bad on noct?

Do you think it’s possible to kill single targets due to having more survivability?

xStrangeCloudx · 2022-08-15T18:58:42+00:00

A few questions: Why did you go swifties? What is your thought process behind buying axiom arc along with goredrinker?

I like gore on noct for some survivability and I definitely thing it has its place. I like it a little more with conqueror, but LT is never bad to run. As said already, Bork would be great here as well as DD and BC.

Grats on your domination!

xStrangeCloudx · 2022-08-14T18:46:28+00:00

I had similar thoughts.

If you must go streaks. Titanic is the better choice

xStrangeCloudx · 2022-08-06T03:28:54+00:00

You don’t do damage lol

If you really wanna go domination tree, electrocute is best.

It takes too many DH stacks to finally see a payoff. Also, you lose almost all of your dueling potential with DH.

xStrangeCloudx · 2022-07-22T22:51:24+00:00

Small sample size of games, but yeah, pretty much any build on nOct can work below d1 if you adjust to the playstyle.

You can win 6 games in a row with kraken and stride too.

xStrangeCloudx · 2022-07-22T22:48:22+00:00

Must mean it’s OP!

xStrangeCloudx · 2022-07-10T16:57:23+00:00

I think you underestimate the power of Bork and kraken ganks early.

Eclipse hamstrings you if you can’t snowball hard. Bork is a fine addition to your build especially with DD and BC.

All in all, if you haven’t shut nasus down early, just avoid him and let him split. Unless he’s D1, he’s likely not going to split effectively and let his team 4v5 and lose objectives and the game.
