How to play

General
  1. As Nocturne playing Grasp build - you need ot adapt to an enemy team and to the game! Enemy team heavy on AP? Buy MR. Are they heavy on AD? Buy Armor. You need some damage? Well buy that.
  2. Remember to consume your Grasp of the Undying procs!

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.
