How it works

General

  1. This is a specialization of regular Lethality Nocturne build that is all about big ults and ulting very often, thanks to Axiom Arc.
  2. You build Attack Damage and Lethality to boost damage from your abilities.
  3. You rush Axiom Arc to reduce cooldown of your ultimate, so you can use it more often.
  4. You go Hail of Blades as it works really good with your ult.

How to play

General

  1. Build Axiom Arc first, then follow up with Lethality and AD items.
  2. If you have mana problems, buy Tear of the Goddess. That should be enough to go through early and mid game. You can sell it later or buy Muramana.
  3. It is okay to not buy boots, or to sell them in the late game. Use 6th slot for more Lethality! You are covered with Ghost.
  4. Make sure that you have Hail of Blades before going all in with your ultimate and combo!

Tips and Tricks

Riot

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