Guide to Countering Jinx as Nocturne

Tips for Playing as Nocturne against Jinx

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 Jinx

Jinx's ultimate does less damage the closer you are to her.

Jinx's minigun takes time to ramp up. If you see her poking with rockets try to jump on her and burst her down.

Jinx's snare grenades have a long cooldown and are her primary means of protecting herself. If she misses with them she will have a hard time escaping if engaged upon.
