User blog comment:Typhron/Not what you think: Nocturne/@comment-4804165-20121112041623

First let me say this is Nicely Written.

Let me just begin by leaving my own build here:

Frozen Mallet / Randiun / Bloodthirster / Black Cleaver(Phantom Dancer) / Wits end (Maw or FoN) / boots

thats a typical build i'd use on Noccturne. Personally I think he is an awesome champion, strong and rather deadly. After playing him a bit, I believe that Randiun is the CORE ITEM on him for 2 reasons: 1. It makes kiting you MUCH MUCH harder 2. You have a high chance of beating any ADC with the AS slow. The other item that i tend to enjoy on him is Frozen Mallet. Phage addresses your early ganking potential while Mallet + Dusk bringer becomes enless torture for your opponent.

anyhow on topic.

Yes I agree, he is very very item dependent, which is something i believe needed for him to be balanced.

the biggest thing when playing him, is when a teamfigh breaks out (presuming you ahve Randiuns) who will you jump to with your R? you can deal with the ADC with your Randiuns or the APC with your spell shield.

all in all, nicely written and don't forget...
