Patch: 26.21

How Nightstalking plays

Nightstalking is C tier over all champions on patch 26.21: #193 of 226 augments and #74 of the 90 gold cards. That is the average over every champion; on the right one it is worth more, on the wrong one much less.

It gives movement speed, so it pays off on champions that already use that. On a champion that doesn't, it is a wasted pick, whatever its tier.

It does best on Garen, Twitch and Quinn. 6 of its 15 best champions are fighters.

It gets better later: D tier as a first pick and B tier by the fourth pick, when the game runs long enough for it to pay off.

The card it pairs with best is Weapon of Destiny: if you already have one of the two, the other jumps up your list.
