I'm playing nocturne jungle and he is fun to play. However, I'm having a tough time with certain champs in the jungle. Currently I'm having trouble with Aatrox and his 2 health bars. I can technically kill him first, but he gets more health once he uses his passive. He builds devourer. How would you build to counter this?
This is for learning and action purposes.
My build for nocturne. Ad jungle item(red smite), attack speed boots, botrk, hydra, either ie(if they squishy) or bc(if they tanky), and then a tri force. Ive been having amazing success with this build. Been able to 1v3 easily when fed and 1v2 when not fed aslong as im not behind
The problem with nocturne is that his job is to be a heavy ad jungler but required to jump into the middle of everyfight. The best way to build him would most likely be as a bruiser using black cleaver or either hydra then building into tanky stats. Deadman's plate seems to work well on him now.
-> 
-> 
-> 
-> 
-> 
is how I came to build him on free week. I found the greater upfront burst to be more value than a dps oriented build like sated -> botrk. Bright side of Noct is that you can always slip past the tanks and go straight to a squishy, and if you can kill them quickly its really good.
Generally I do
, 
/ 
, whichever you didn't get last time, 
and usually a tanky item for your last (
, 
, etc). Generally, I'll take MR over armour since ap champions tend to be burstier.
For boots, take 
, , or if the enemy consists mostly of squishies, take 
.
Nocturne depends on the teams IMO. Blue debourer, BOTRK, boots is pretty much standard start when I play him. Then you can go like PD, LW, Titanic or PD, BT, LW or PD, Randuins, warmogs. If you wanna skip the BOTRK my fav build would be Devourer - Boots - Titanic - PD - Dead Mans Plate/Randuins then IE/LW/Warmogs. He has a lot of build paths.
