Guide to Synergizing Yorick and Nocturne

Tips for Playing as Yorick with Nocturne

You do not need to cast Awakening to regain the ability to cast Last Rites.

You can send the Maiden down a lane alone, be careful though, as she represents a large portion of your combat power.

The Maiden will attempt to assist you in a fight, so choose your targets well.

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.
