FiddleSticks vs Nocturne Jungle Matchup

How to play as FiddleSticks

If Nocturne is holding Shroud of Darkness(W), land Reap(E)'s center silence first to draw the shield, then use Terrify(Q) after it is gone; the matchup thread recommends this spell order.

Avoid meeting Nocturne alone; track where he is likely to use Paranoia(R) and counter-gank that lane, since players in this matchup recommend avoiding the first solo engage.

Reap(E) silences only enemies hit in the center of its slash, while Terrify(Q) is a separate fear spell; Nocturne's Shroud of Darkness(W) can block only one ability.

How to play as Nocturne
