How to play Nocturne Jungle

  • Pick Nocturne Jungle in patch 26.11 when you need a S+ tier option with stable meta presence. Tier moved up this patch, so Nocturne is worth prioritizing in draft.
  • Your main power spike on Nocturne Jungle is the first completed core item: trade around post-buff spike timing and look for fights when your keystone and first rush item are online.
