Nocturne

the Eternal Nightmare

FIGHTERASSASSIN

Lore

A demonic amalgamation drawn from the nightmares that haunt every sentient mind, the thing known as Nocturne has become a primordial force of pure evil. It is liquidly chaotic in aspect, a faceless shadow with cold eyes and armed with wicked-looking blades. After freeing itself from the spirit realm, Nocturne descended upon the waking world, to feed upon the kind of terror that can only thrive in true darkness.

Duskbringer

Cost: @Cost@ @AbilityResourceName@ | Cooldown: @Cooldown@s %i:cooldown%

Shroud of Darkness

Unspeakable Horror

Cost: @Cost@ @AbilityResourceName@ | Cooldown: @Cooldown@s %i:cooldown%

Nocturne plants a nightmare into his target's mind, dealing damage each second and applying fear to the target if they do not get out of range by the end of the duration.

Paranoia

Nocturne reduces the sight radius of all enemy champions and removes their ally vision in the process. He can then launch himself at a nearby enemy champion.
