Tips for Playing as Caitlyn with Nocturne

Fire 90 Caliber Net away from the opponent to close the gap or hop over walls.

Avoid using Ace in the Hole in large team melees as it might be blocked by the wrong target.

Make use of her Yordle Snap Traps by placing them pre-emptively to ensure that you'll have one off of cooldown during combat.

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.

Nocturne has a lower difficulty than Caitlyn. That means you don't need to be very careful when lining up Nocturne teammates to fight alongside, as they will need a relatively low level of skill to play well with you.
