Hello!

I am quite new to the game, and I have been looking at Nocturne for a long time. I tried him out once or twice without realizing I have no clue whatsoever how to jungle and how he jungles. Any tips/routes/builds for him? Thanks!

if you can start at krugs and use q first for the bonus ad steroid that comes from standing on dusktrail, then get shroud of darkness for the bonus attack speed. from there you shouldn't have any problems clearing with hunters machete and pretty much just farm to 6 unless an enemy is really overextended and you can catch them. after 6 use ult to gank from jungle and help snowball lanes or yourself. warrior is very good on noc because he's an early game champ and its a really nice power spike.

One that works really well for me is start krugs, then go raptors, then go red (use smite on krugs & on red). At this point you either take crab or continue wolves, blue, gromp. Make sure to keep farming in between ganks, contrary to popular belief Nocturne has fairly strong ganks pre-6 as well as post-6

skill order: lvl 1 q, lvl 2 w, lvl 3 q, lvl 4 e, then max R>Q>E>W

An example build for Noc would be: item 3931 item 3143 item 3153 .item 3074 item 3026 /item 3156 item 3124 . But Noc has a lot of variety in his build options.

If you want you can make an euw acc to pm me, I can record some of my games and/or coach you. I've mained Nocturne before, and while I'm not that good (I'm only plat V) I do have a lot of experience both playing as, and with, Nocturne. I could go a bit more in-depth in regards to builds etc. there. I go by Dar Raksada on EUW.

First thing you must do, accept that he is an inferior jungler and others can do his job better, this doesn't mean don't play him it means remember you are not Vi LeeSin Poppy and thus must value positioning and ward placement by enemys more in order to ensure ganks, it also means you need time for your CC to work so no tower ganks either.

It also means farm and devourer stacks are waaay more important! you can't afford to sit in a bush for 2 minutes like Rengar LeeSinEvelynn and wait for a kill that may or may not happen, instead farm everything and quickly hit six, if you can get off a guaranteed gank before then great, if not just ward up some key lane locations to offset your lack of ganks with vision.

Depends on your playstyle tbh, mine is a little more for 1v1's so I try to get a build that stomps those. item 3931 > item 3077 > item 3046 > item 3031 > item 3153 > item 3072 (finish item 3077 to item 3074 when you need to) My typical path is Krugs (smite these) -> Raptors (E this big one) -> Scuttle if you need health -> Red buff -> wolves -> Gromp/Blue (if blue, smite it) -> Blue/Gromp Level up your Q -> W -> E in that order. However remember to start Q -> E -> W

(you have so much chase, and your ult gets you to ganks, you, for practical purposes, dont even need boots) Friendly reminder to get a item 3363 If they have no tanks, feel free to swap out item 3153 for item 3812 Now go out there and justify their nyctophobia [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

I seem to prioritise ganking and helping my lanes get ahead over straight 1v1s like most of the others here, so I'm normally item 3706 -> item 3077 -> item 3158 -> warrior enchantment-> item 3074. From there I can do whatever suits, 9 times out of 10 it's tanking up so stuff like item 3102 item 3742 item 3143.

As for pathing, it's basically just follow the camps (lvl 3 scuttler), and gank when the chance presents itself. I also max Q, E ,W. The 2 second fear is ruthless for mid game skirmishes and teamfights
