Nocturne has 2 build paths:
1. Assassin - Build Damage and Attack Speed; Infinity Edge, Phantom Dancer, Blood Thirster, Ghostblade
2. Bruiser - Build Defence and Damage; Frozen Mallet, Randuins Omen, Maw of Malmortius
Bruiser is better in the current meta due to his ult's jump into the fray. He is mainly used for initiation/disorientation with his ultimate's secondary effect of darkness.
