Lillia vs Nocturne

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use Lillia's superior clear speed and movement to out-tempo Nocturne and secure early objectives.
Prioritize avoiding early river fights before movement speed stacks are active to reduce risk from Nocturne's fear and spell shield.
Focus on scaling through fast clears and leveraging sleep CC to control grouped fights and objectives later.

Jungle Plan

Path for fast full clears and reset tempo to hit item spikes before fighting Nocturne.
Contest Scuttle only when allied lanes can move first to minimize risk from Nocturne's (R) gank threat.
Track Nocturne's position post-level 6 and be ready to counter-gank his ultimate engages near objectives or river.

Danger windows

Avoid isolated river fights before movement speed stacks are active, as Nocturne's fear and spell shield can lock you down.
Beware of forced smite fights around dragon and Rift Herald after Nocturne hits level 6 and can create numbers advantages.
Be cautious when low-health clearing camps, as Nocturne can punish with high dueling power and fear control.

Early game

Start with a full clear to maximize tempo and reach key AP item spikes before contesting Nocturne.
Only contest first Scuttle Crab if nearby lanes have priority to avoid multi-lane collapse against Nocturne's fear and spell shield.
Avoid early invades or river fights until movement speed stacks are up to maintain escape options from Nocturne's engage.

Power spikes

Lillia spikes with AP item completions and sleep CC; use this to force objective fights where Nocturne's pick threat is limited.
Respect Nocturne's level 6 spike when he gains global (R) for cross-map picks and objective pressure.
Exploit Nocturne's reliance on spell shield by baiting it before committing with (E) sleep setup.

Win conditions

Use fast clears and superior mobility to maintain jungle tempo and deny Nocturne early objective control.
Leverage (E) and (R) sleep CC to set up favorable teamfights and secure dragons and Rift Herald.
Counter-gank aggressively post-level 6 to punish Nocturne's ultimate engages and convert pressure into objectives.
