Learn how to Nocturne counter with these essential tips.
Tags:
All
Stay grouped with teammates after Nocturne reaches level 6 — his ultimate excels at picking off isolated targets, but loses effectiveness against grouped enemies.
Basic Team Fight Skirmish
Invade Nocturne's jungle early to delay his level 6 — he relies heavily on power farming to reach his ultimate power spike.
Lane Phase
Place deep wards in Nocturne's jungle, especially around buff camps — this helps track him and gives your team time to react before he uses his ultimate.
Lane Phase
When Nocturne's ultimate is on cooldown (140-90s), look to engage fights or secure objectives — without Paranoia, he loses his strongest engage tool and global pressure.
Team Fight Late Game
When your screen darkens from Nocturne's ultimate, your vision is reduced to 300 units for 6 seconds — you can still use abilities and summoner spells to reposition or defend yourself.
Basic Skirmish Team Fight
When Nocturne uses his E (tether), immediately dash or flash away beyond 465 units — breaking the tether prevents the fear effect and significantly reduces his kill potential.
Skirmish Team Fight
Bait Nocturne's W (spell shield) with a minor ability before using your main crowd control — his W has a long cooldown (20-12s) leaving him vulnerable once used.
Advanced Skirmish Team Fight
Avoid fighting Nocturne when he's on his Q trail — the bonus AD (20-60) and movement speed (15-35%) significantly boost his combat effectiveness.
Skirmish Team Fight
When Nocturne is split pushing without his ultimate available, force objectives or team fights on the opposite side of the map — he cannot quickly rejoin his team.
Advanced Late Game
During team fights, protect champions who are feared by Nocturne — he gains 90% bonus movement speed toward feared targets, making them extremely vulnerable to follow-up attacks.
