Guide to Synergizing K'Sante and Nocturne

Tips for Playing as K'Sante with Nocturne

Take advantage of Flurry by weaving in basic attacks between spell casts - this maximizes damage output and minimizes Energy loss.

Use Sonic Wave before Dragon's Rage so you can chase the target with Resonating Strike.

Self-casting Safeguard and using Iron Will are powerful tools for killing neutral monsters (in the jungle).

Advice to Understand How Nocturne Will Play

Use Shroud of Darkness in tandem with Paranoia's dash. Your opponents may panic and waste a critical disable on your spell shield.

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.
