How to play it
- Press early
Darius is stronger in the first levels — shove and deny farm.
- Don't chase
Nocturne escapes faster than you — take farm and towers instead of running.
- Physical resistance
Nocturne deals physical damage — Death's Dance as your 2nd or 3rd item.
When you are in danger
- Full HP or back off
Nocturne's burst kills from half HP. No trades under 60%, and buy Death's Dance early.
