Guide to Countering Shaco as Nocturne

Tips for Playing as Nocturne against Shaco

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.

Advice to Win Against Shaco

If Shaco is doing well early-game, it is worth the investment to place Stealth Wards near his Jungle camps.

If Shaco uses Deceive to enter a fight he won't be able to quickly use it again to get away. Work with your team to quickly focus him down.
