Introduction

Hello, if you're looking at this guide for some great Nox info, well i can help you out!
Nox was the first diamond god I got in this game and i know a few tips and tricks that'll knock the socks outta you're opponents!
This is not the definite build for Nox, mine may not be the best one to choose for your play style.

Ranked Play

ranked scares me. that is all.

Skills to pay the bills... because she needs to pay for her lighting.

Nox has her three abilities that everyone that has every crossed her path hate.

Her 1. (Shadow Lock) is a root that causes 3 or 4 ticks worth of damage. This can be one of her most hard hitting moves depending on level and items. This ability also combos into her 2 (which is one of the only ways it will land) leveling this skill 2nd works if you can land the combo. if you CANNOT land the combo correctly, try leveling her 1 first early game. if you can land that early game then your teammates can go in for the kill.

Her 2. (Siphon Darkness) is a silence that causes a massive amount of damage. Combo it with her 1 and you got yourself a kill (depending on build) or at least a retreat. Her 2 casts a AoE on the ground the causes a silence on all enemy gods and will deal damage after a short period of time, enough time however for anyone smart enough to just walk out of it, that is where her 1 comes into play. Leveling this first is crucial for Wave clear and kills.

Her 3. (Shadow Step) is a dash that can allow Nox to go inside an ally. This ability will hit once on dash and twice IF you land inside an ally and either wait the timer or cancel click to escape early (however you can use this with a Thor ult and extend your timer until he lands, dealing even more damage). I tend to level this one last as its very situational but can hit pretty hard early game.

Pros / Cons

Pros:

Nox is extremely great in team fights. Her 2 can spread out a hole in the fight or block a path while her one can confirm your team a good kill depending on their health.

In 1v1 she is also extremely good late game but i don't do much ranked.

shes very reliable for stopping a persuer if a person needs to run away or if you do to a certain extent.


Cons:

Nox is a glass canon and can be killed by a well timed gank.

mana hungry unless fed the correct amount of vitamin Mana early game.

doesn't do to well against an odd team fight ( nox v 2. 2 v 3. etc.)


Personal Con:

REMOVED THE MEGA MILK TAUNT?!?!?

Her witch doctor skin is meh

Comments.

If you have any suggestions on her build or how i should edit this (first guide. first time for everything) tell me. IM NOT THE GREATEST BUT IM PRETTY DANK!
