Nocturne Build Guide

Nocturne posted a 51.65% winrate on patch 16.13.1 with a 6.9% pickrate across ranked games, a solid showing that fits his role as a diver who grows stronger the more kills he racks up. Conqueror fits his long skirmishes, since its healing lets him keep up the fight while he closes in and pushes through the fear zone of his ultimate.

The build begins with Experimental Hexplate for movement and burst, moves on to Stridebreaker for its slowing effect and ability to clear waves, and ends with Black Cleaver for armor penetration and attack speed. He maxes Q first, then E, then W, and leans on Duskbringer as his primary tool for poking and starting fights. Items, runes, and matchup details follow below.
