How to play against Nocturne

Lane and teamfight rules that hold regardless of your pick.

In lane and in teamfights

1. Track his level-six timing and back off from deep trades before R can punish your lane position.
2. Pressure waves before his first clear spike so he cannot shove and roam without losing minions.
3. Group before entering fog when R is available; isolated rotations give him the first target.
4. Force objectives immediately when he is dead or R is down, because his map threat is what delays starts.
5. Stay close enough to peel the first R target instead of scattering during the nearsight.

Where Nocturne is weak

Exploit these in draft and in lane.

• Nocturne's ultimate isolates one target, but grouped teams can collapse on his landing point immediately.
• His dive has limited exit options, so failed fear setups leave him stranded inside enemy formation.
