Guide to Synergizing Nocturne and Tristana

Tips for Playing as Nocturne with Tristana

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 Understand How Tristana Will Play

Use Rapid Fire to help stack up your Explosive Charge on enemy champions.

Her massive gun allows Tristana to fire on targets at a great distance. Utilize this to prevent your enemies from ever laying a hand on you.

Use Rocket Jump after you have stacked up your Explosive Charge on an enemy to finish them off with a burst of damage.
