How to play it

Farm safe early
He'll out-heal and perma-shove you, so play the lane safe and don't force a trade you can't finish.
Grass before his ult
Play with your grass form up and always toss it before Nocturne can ult you: it's your safety when he turns off the lights.
Your kill window
Only commit when you can kill inside two burst cycles: the Q-E-W-Q combo; anything less and he just sustains it back.
Never look for a trade you can't finish in two burst cycles: he'll just out-heal the chip and perma-shove you back in.
