this is all my opinion but i'm finiding great success.

nocturne has 2 incredible strenght wich are an easy and super reliable way to access backlines in the form of his R and sticking power with Q and E, i daresay, nocturne is all about being on the correct target and not being off until him or his target dies.

now the general problem with noc is that he is inherently squishy, so most of the times people tend to just burst him down after he unlted in.

that said i think the best way to build him is the following.

start with jungler item tier 1 and not upgrade it any further, the reason is, warrior give too few to him and yet he dont have enough on hit effect to justify a bloodrazor enhancement. instead i go straight to titanic hidra first, in first place just a tiamat is a great addition to his clearing and second my phylosophy is, if you cant effectively peel me off why shuld i build damage and be at risk to be bursted? i'd rather build alot of hp to make my target spend half of the teamfight try to run from me while he cant effectively kill me on the spot and switch target after. titanic give you hp, an on hit effect to use the as steroid from W and a aa reset to exploit Q Ad steroid. after hydra i usualy go for black cleaver (evern more sticking power AND great synergy with hydra with aoe shred defenses and ad) spirit visage and dead man plate, in whatever order is most fitting to needs, last i usually sell jungle item to get another hp/defensive item like randuin omen ( awesome with ult given you can choose the target that is just in the middle of fight and use the active in the best spot) or a banshee or even a warmog.

the trick is to use all your steroid to become a shredding machine that is simply too hard to peel off, just need to shield a spell (any spell is fine you need you AS mostly) and stick to your target as much as you can, noc is a very good duelist due to E and all his steroids thus most of the time you can duel people at ease or make picks with ult and just r/q/e/auto/hydra and get away with it.

this work for me, try it and tell me if it work for you too.
