Nox extends her shadow, rooting and crippling a single enemy god in place and dealing damage over time.

While channeling this ability Nox suffers no directional movement penalty.

It's all here

Okay, so hi there. My IGN is Arkeari, mage player, maining nox (mastery x). I'll keep this guide simple and hopefully short, so let's get to it.

Pros:
-Extremely high damage late game, very useful god to have in teamfight, but only if you can land her basic 2-1 combo ( root in her silence field )
-High survivability even without warlock's sash( Example: Getting chased, you can place 2 on you and run, you can use her 3 and dash, you can turn around for a split second and 1 the chaser, nox gets no movement speed penalty while casting and rooting an enemy )
-Nox has excelent set up for most assassins, even if the silence is on cooldown, simply rooting an enemy can be fatal if you have gods with high burst in your team
-If nox falls behind, she can still do a little bit of support style gameplay, setting teammates who are aheads or assassins to get kills/assists
-Nox can explode anyone who isnt extremely tanky all by her self.... 2-1 combo, if they live, ult them and they wont live anymore.


Cons:
-If you miss her 2-1 combo, all you can do it either run, or if in a teamfight hope you don't get focused because of seemingly longer cooldowns
-If you fall behind, nox can't do alot all by her self, she will need a teammate to get in a fight with the enemy
-really squishy if you dont know how to protect your self, or if you lack experience with nox



Counters:
Nox gets countered by beads and movement speed( Debuffs or buffs / items ). Beads is pretty logical why, now for movement speed, she is countered for the fact, that her 1 takes time to channel and hit the enemy, if the enemy is fast, the chances to rooting them in her silence are slim. If you play against nox, try to bait out her silence or root. Early game nox will probably have to use her silence, to clear the mobs, and she will lack teamtight potencial, leaving her only skill up, her root. If nox has no skills available to lock you down, she can be harmless, leaving her dash to be used defensively, and her ult is mostly used as long - mid range snipe.

God combos with nox:
*Nox + Thor: Since nox's unique dash ability to enter allied shadow, you can becomes thors shadow and ult with him, crushing down, poping out of him, silencing enemies, rooting, thor will probably stun them too, aoe, long story short, they will die if executed perfectly ( isn't really hard )
*Nox + Thanatos: Similar idea as ^
*Nox + hercules: Here are a few diferent ideas, you can be a setup for hercs knockup and push, or herc can be your setup to explode the enemy, works very well either way
*Nox + high burst gods: Main idea here is to root the enemy while the ally kills them ( best example: Nox roots, loki finishes really fast )

Builds:

I often see players building Talon on nox, which imo, is really bad. I can see the potential of the item on gods such as Hades, or Freya, not on nox. Stick to the 2 premades builds, they were tested and the most successful throuout my gameplay. Warlock sash build if the enemy team has odin/loki... gods that can chunk your HP quickly and finish you off, book of thoth for the times where you have late game gods, so you can get powerful early, and denying them their way into late game.

Ending:
To summon it all up, nox is a fantastic god to play, if you know you can land your roots. Her silnce can be great defensive and protective tool if used properly, extremely useful offensively. Nontheless, have fun and thank you for reading:)
