Tips :
Nocturne benefits from a shield during his spell.An anti-spell shield and attack speed.
You'll never touch me.
A second banshee. You can block any enemy spell making this your ability of choice.Try to watch out for your enemies so that you can block any harmful effects. This way you could easily avoid an ultimate from Karthus or Nautilus, but it will be more complicated to avoid an immediate ultimate like Warwick's as he can put pressure on you and wait for the end of the shield.
Be careful not to be too vain either, when faced with more experienced players for example. They will know that you are waiting for that to attack them so play subtley! Similarly they could pretend to be quite weak only to place a powerful spell afterwards.

Tips :
Nocturne creates a link with the target.A fear spell
Nocturne must stay in melee.
This is an excellent spell to gank with Nocturne. Given that it is his only control, you should really apply yourself to put it on your target.Your opponent will generally try to flash to dodge the effect of fear so pay attention as to whether you should follow or not, depending on the situation. It is possible to flash immediately so that you don't break the link but this requres excellent reflexes.
However tell yourself that it has a surrounding effect since you will have no idea in advance which way your target will head once feared.

(Active): Nocturne reduces the sight radius of all enemy champions and removes their ally vision for 4 seconds; this includes champions, minions, wards, towers, and clairvoyance.
While Paranoia is active, Nocturne can launch himself at a visible enemy champion, dealing physical damage.
Tips :
Nocturne charges at his target and plunges the enemy team into the dark.An ultimate with a big range that plunges the enemy team into the dark
A long range dash.
This is what makes Nocturne so interesting to play and makes ganks so efficient.It must be admitted that up to level 6, you don't have a huge chance of doing a gank if it's not with a summoner or skillfully placing a fear. With this ultimate you can literally surprise your opponents.
Paranoia has quite an interesting range that lets you charge very quickly at your target and come to the aid of your team. It will be easy to finish a target low on HP or attempts to escape or, on the other hand, jump on someone bothering you to slow them down.
Bear in mind that if you don't have vision on your target then you can't reactivate the ultimate and rush the target! So think about warding and don't go too fast.
During Nocturne's ultimate, Shen can't cast his ultimate.
Nocturne can avoid wards thanks to the range of his spell.
Cooldown: 180 / 140 / 100 seconds

Pros
Nocturne is a champion with a lot of mobility and can quickly move from one point to another
His ultimate lets him do crazy engages by spreading chaos among his opponents
His fear is not easy to place but it will prove itself very successful, a kill is practically guaranteed
The jungle will be done just as quickly thanks to your Q and passive
You have a free Banshee's Veil, which can always save you from a bad decision
Cons
Nocturne is not an easy champion to pick up because of his game mechanics
You don't have much control so he is not so at ease in a gank before level 6
