Arrr, matchup notes
Track th' cooldown and range o' th' trick that starts their safest trade. Do nay treat this chart as a statistical counter claim.
Treat Vex as one part o' th' sea chart state. Their Jungler, nigh th' ship waves and which teammates can move determine whether th' same trade or rotation be seaworthy.

Every few seconds, Nocturne's next attack strikes surrounding enemies for bonus physical damage and heals himself. Nocturne's basic attacks reduce this cooldown.
Nocturne throws a shadow blade that deals damage, leaves a Dusk Trail, and causes champions to leave a Dusk Trail. While on the trail, Nocturne can move through units and has increased Move Speed and Attack Damage.
Wait fer reload (s) 8 · Cost 60/65/70/75/80 · Charted reach (units) 1125Nocturne empowers his blades, passively gaining Attack Speed. Activating Shroud of Darkness allows Nocturne to fade into the shadows, creating a magical barrier which blocks a single enemy ability and doubles his passive Attack Speed if successful.
Wait fer reload (s) 20/18/16/14/12 · Cost 50 · Charted reach (units) 20Nocturne plants a nightmare into his target's mind, dealing damage each second and applying fear to the target if they do not get out of range by the end of the duration.
Wait fer reload (s) 15/14/13/12/11 · Cost 60/65/70/75/80 · Charted reach (units) 425Nocturne reduces the sight radius of all enemy champions and removes their ally vision in the process. He can then launch himself at a nearby enemy champion.
Wait fer reload (s) 160/130/100 · Cost 100 · Charted reach (units) 2500/3250/4000Vex periodically becomes empowered, causing her next basic Ability to fear enemies and interrupt dashes. Whenever a nearby enemy dashes, Vex applies a mark that can be consumed for bonus damage that also reduces the cooldown of her empowered state.
Launch a damaging missile that accelerates mid-flight.

Judge th' whole course or sea chart state, nay only personal kills. Pick th' situation closest to th' present battle.
Push safely, then threaten vision, a side course or th' foe jungle without abandoning free farm.
Reach river first aboard wit' yer Jungler and preserve th' cooldown needed if th' foe contests.
Pressure a valuable target while respecting th' control that can end yer lead.
Trade when yer key trick and minion position favour ye; an even course does nay require a forced solo kill.
Move on a completed wave and return afore several waves be lost to th' tower.
Position fer th' champion's reliable damage or control instead o' beginning wit' th' lowest-percentage spell.
Use range, tower space and vision. Do nay contest every last aboard hit if it opens another kill.
Ping lost overboard early and take th' seaworthy course; blindly matching a stronger roam can meet defeat two positions.
Group 'round yer most dependable control and damage rather than searching alone fer a comeback.
Pings, movement and prizes
Mid can reach either side, but th' wave pays fer every move. Communicate th' foe first aboard, then move only when th' course and destination be credible.
Pings create a shared course; they do nay replace checking waves, vision and who can move.
Push, catch or communicate th' wave afore leaving so th' foe does nay gain a free move and free income.
Use On Me Way fer th' course ye be actually taking and Peril where an unseen foe may arrive.
Move through controlled vision wit' th' Jungler or another ally instead o' face-checking th' prize alone.
Decide whether ye be engaging, front-lining, flanking or protecting a carry afore th' fight begins.
Later prizes: Repeat th' same process 'round later major prizes: handle nigh th' ship income, communicate th' course, enter through vision and agree on th' fight afore committing.
Arrr, keep preparing
