Sejuani thrives by forcing grouped fights around dragon and Rift Herald where her CC and tank frontline counter Nocturne's isolated pick threat.
Prioritize controlled pathing toward melee lanes that can help stack (E) stuns and avoid early isolated duels against Nocturne's stronger dueling.
Jungle Plan
Contest first Scuttle only when nearby lanes have priority to leverage your CC chains in objective fights.
Invade or counter-jungle only if Nocturne's pathing is tracked away and your lanes can collapse quickly.
Use tempo leads to secure dragon, Rift Herald, and Void Grubs, forcing Nocturne into grouped fights where your engage and peel excel.
Danger windows
Nocturne's level 6 (R) global darkness creates high risk for isolated river fights and blind fog checks; avoid overextending without vision or lane priority.
Low-health clears and forced Smite fights without lane priority or vision control are vulnerable to Nocturne's pick potential.
Losing priority around Scuttle, dragon, or Rift Herald turns river contests into dangerous zones susceptible to Nocturne's ambushes.
Early game
Start with a controlled clear focused on lanes with melee allies ready to collapse for early Scuttle contests.
Delay river moves until your lanes have priority to reduce risk of isolated fights against Nocturne's level 6 (R) ganks.
Avoid early invades unless Nocturne is tracked on the opposite side and your lanes can collapse quickly.
Power spikes
Level 6 unlocks (R) for long-range engage and pick setups; use it to initiate fights around objectives or ganks before Nocturne's picks become threatening.
First tank item increases durability and clear speed, enabling stronger frontline presence and objective control.
Two tank items solidify your ability to absorb cooldowns and control fights front-to-back, minimizing Nocturne's isolated pick potential.
Win conditions
Translate jungle tempo and vision control into repeated ganks with melee allies to stack (E) stuns and secure objectives.
Deny Nocturne free farm and objective setups by tracking his camps and forcing him into unfavorable grouped fights.
When outnumbered, trade tempo into top-side camps, Void Grubs, or Herald vision to maintain scaling and objective pressure.
