Nocturne vs Viego

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Prioritize full clearing to hit level 6 on schedule and maximize map threat with (R).
Use your strong dueling and spell shield to contest river control and punish Viego before he gains reset power.

Jungle Plan

Full clear camps toward level 6, then use (R) to gank overextended lanes lacking vision and create numbers advantages.
Contest Scuttle only when your lanes can move first and avoid multi-lane collapses that hurt your medium invade resistance.
Track Viego's early pathing to shadow his attempts and counter-gank around river fights or dragon setups to deny his reset chains.

Danger windows

Avoid isolated river fights before level 6 where Viego can use (E) camouflage and (W) stun to start resets.
Respect Viego's power after his first fighter item and level 6 (R) when he can extend fights and reposition aggressively.
Be wary of multi-lane collapses during early invades; your medium invade resistance suffers against coordinated pressure.

Early game

Start full clear aiming for level 6 before contesting major objectives to avoid risky early skirmishes.
Only fight for first Scuttle if nearby lanes have priority to back you up and reduce collapse risk.
Avoid blind invades early; track Viego's pathing to counter-gank or punish overextensions.

Power spikes

At level 6, your (R) creates global pick threat; use it to force fights on your terms and secure objectives.
Viego spikes at level 6 with (R) for resets; deny him the first takedown to prevent his snowball.
Your (W) spell shield is a key dueling tool; fight around its cooldown to block (W) stun and win sustained trades.

Win conditions

Convert level 6 ultimate picks into dragon and Rift Herald control by collapsing on overextended targets.
Use your superior clear speed and dueling to deny Viego farm and force him into unfavorable fights before resets.
Track Viego's position to counter-gank and prevent his reset chains, then snowball leads into objective dominance and mid-game pressure.
