Nocturne Jungle build guide: runes, items and skill order
This Nocturne Jungle build covers League of Legends patch 16.20. Compare the selected runes, starting items and core purchases before the match, then adapt your later purchases to enemy damage and defenses. The source recommendations use the Emerald filter across all servers.
For Nocturne runes, this setup uses Hail of Blades with Precision as the secondary path. Check the highlighted stat shards as well: they are part of the rune page, not extra items. Hover or tap a rune to read its effect before deciding whether it suits your matchup.
The displayed Nocturne skill order starts with Q and prioritizes Q → E → W. The level-by-level grid covers the first 15 levels supplied by the source. Follow that sequence as a reference while accounting for what your lane or team needs. Item win rates describe completed purchases and should be read alongside their game counts.
Which items should you build on Nocturne Jungle?
The most popular core items in this Nocturne Jungle build are Profane Hydra → Axiom Arc → Voltaic Cyclosword. Check starting items and boots separately, then compare later item options against the enemy team. This is a reference for patch 16.20, not a fixed purchase order for every match.
Which runes should you choose for Nocturne Jungle?
For the selected Emerald rank filter, the rune page uses Hail of Blades with Precision. Review each rune tooltip and the selected stat shards before entering champion select.
How do you compare Nocturne builds by rank?
Use the rank selector to view a separate build and win rate for Iron, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Emerald, Diamond, Master, Grandmaster or Challenger. Keep the same role when comparing. A small sample is less reliable, and a higher win rate alone does not prove a better build.
How this build works
Core purchases
The most popular core combination in the source is Profane Hydra → Axiom Arc → Voltaic Cyclosword. Treat it as a starting point: choose defensive or penetration options for the opponents you are facing.
Read the sample
The core combination has an observed win rate of 54.60% across 3,172 games. These are games that reached this purchase combination, not all games played by the champion. A completed build can appear stronger because winning players can afford more items.

Read the guideAbout Nocturne
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.
