Guide to Synergizing Vayne and Nocturne

Tips for Playing as Vayne with Nocturne

Don't go in first to a large teamfight. Wait for your teammates to initiate.

Tumble has many uses, but it cannot pass over walls.

Condemn can be used to both pin targets to walls to ensure a kill, or to escape a pursuer.

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.

Duskbringer isn't only an offensive ability. It can be used to close distance out of combat or escape from certain death.

This signals that there is a somewhat important strategic relationship between Vayne and Nocturne that allows them to perform stronger together than alone.
