Playing as Nocturne

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

Playing against Nocturne

  • Stay close to your allies when Paranoia is cast - there is strength in numbers!
  • Nocturne's Unspeakable Horror is broken with range, so try to save your movement abilities for when he casts it.
