Nocturne

Umbra Blades P

Umbra Blades

Innate: Periodically, Nocturne empowers his next basic attack to slash in a circle, dealing 120% AD physical damage to the target and nearby enemies and healing himself for 13 − 30 (based on level) (+ 30% AP) per enemy hit. Against minions, Umbra Blade's damage to secondary targets and healing are reduced by 50% and it applies on-hit effects to all targets(note) at 100% effectiveness.
Umbra Blades can critically strike against the primary target, modifying the physical damage dealt to (192.5% + 44%) AD. 110% AD × total critical damage.
Basic attacks reduce Umbra Blades' cooldown by 1 second, increased to 3 against enemy champions and monsters.

Playing the matchup

Playing as Nocturne

  • Using Paranoia at a critical moment is well worth it even if you cannot use the dash.
  • Duskbringer isn't only an offensive ability. It can be used to close distance out of combat or escape from certain death.
  • Use Shroud of Darkness in tandem with Paranoia's dash. Your opponents may panic and waste a critical disable on your spell shield.

Playing against Nocturne

  • Stay close to your allies when Paranoia is cast - there is strength in numbers!
  • Nocturne's Unspeakable Horror is broken with range, so try to save your movement abilities for when he casts it.

Lore

A demonic amalgamation drawn from the nightmares that haunt every sentient mind, the thing known as Nocturne has become a primordial force of pure evil. It is liquidly chaotic in aspect, a faceless shadow with cold eyes and armed with wicked-looking blades. After freeing itself from the spirit realm, Nocturne descended upon the waking world, to feed upon the kind of terror that can only thrive in true darkness.
