Nocturne vs Lillia

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use Nocturne's efficient full clears to hit level 6 on schedule and unlock global pressure with (R).
Prioritize cross-map picks with (R) to create numbers advantages for dragon and Rift Herald control.
Respect Lillia's high mobility and sleep CC by avoiding multi-lane collapses and blind river brawls.

Jungle Plan

Path camps to hit level 6 quickly, then use (R) to punish overextended lanes and force objectives.
Contest Scuttle when your lanes have priority to deny Lillia vision and objective control.
Track Lillia's clear and be ready to counter-gank her early ganks, especially before she hits item spikes.

Danger windows

Avoid invading or fighting when Lillia has movement speed stacks active, increasing her escape potential.
Be cautious contesting objectives if Lillia's (E) sleep is off cooldown and lanes lack priority.
Low-health clears expose you to Lillia's faster AoE clear and potential counter-invades; reset if under pressure.

Early game

Start with a full clear aiming to reach level 6 before Lillia to maximize gank threat.
Fight for first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority to back you up against Lillia's speed.
Avoid early river fights without vision since Lillia can escape or counter with her mobility and sleep setup.

Power spikes

At level 6, Nocturne's (R) enables cross-map picks; use this to force fights on your terms.
Nocturne's (W) spell shield is a key dueling tool; engage when it can block Lillia's sleep (E).
Lillia spikes with AP items and sleep CC; respect her power after she completes core items and in grouped fights.

Win conditions

Use Nocturne's level 6 (R) to create picks on overextended targets and convert into dragon or Rift Herald.
Deny Lillia free farm by tracking her path and counter-jungling camps when she resets or overextends.
Leverage your dueling and objective control to snowball leads before Lillia's AP scaling and teamfight sleep become overwhelming.
