)This composition has the advantage of being based on two types of champions for carry: Assassins, with mainly nocturne, And Master of Blades with sivir. The former provides excellent access to the opponent's backline, while the latter provides area damage and control, which is why the two go so well together.

You will have understood it, the Infinity blade is the best item in this composition (after the Blade of the Fallen King). Outraged nocturne, Kha'Zix can also benefit immensely since his ultimate allows him to guarantee critical hits. L'Seraph's Embrace is very effective in allowing him to use his spell in a loop. |

Start of the game and progress
The start of the game can be made up of any transition unit, such as the Wood et Druid (maokai, Ivern, neeko...) where the Predators. An interesting option can also be an early game Assassin with The White et Diana, which will allow for a smoother transition.
The choice of Predators generally works well, since Rek'Sai will stay in your lineup for the bonus with nocturne. This one should arrive quickly and start to be equipped, and with Qiyana it should quickly replace your Assassins ou Predators start of the game.
It may be interesting to start the game with a losing streak to increase your chances of getting a Spatula quickly for the Deposed king blade, which makes this composition much more effective. Either way, your composition should easily return mid-game when Nocturne is equipped. If you haven't had a Spatula after the third carousel (the one before the Wolves), it's usually time to look into playing another composition.
When you have your Deposed king blade, you will try to add the Master of Blades at your base Assassin. The combos Yasuo + Janna can be effective through element dodging Clouds, and Aatrox can serve as a replacement for Master Yi time to find it.
Although Master Yi, Janna et Kha'Zix are in the final composition and benefit from level 8 to find them more easily, it can be very interesting to stay level 7 longer than expected to find nocturne et sivir au 3 level. You will then have to use a "slow roll" technique: use your gold above 50 gold to roll each round, trying not to go below it.
Endgame and transitions
Janna is not necessary for composition, but it offers two very interesting bonuses: Clouds for dodging and Mystique for magic resistance. If you don't need these two traits, Nami can replace it for example. Also, if you get not one but two spatulas, it is possible to fetch the 6 Blade Masters, replacing Janna by Aatrox and putting the second Deposed king blade on the fact Kha'Zix.
This composition relies heavily on obtaining carries at level 3 if you want top 1. nocturne et sivir should be the top priority, while Yasuo, Rek'Sai et Qiyana are bonuses that can help but are not as important. It is possible to try to have Kha'Zix level 3 too, but this is very expensive and requires a lot of luck.
This composition can be rotated to a Assassin / Invocateur version, if ever you can't find your Spatula to play Deposed king blade. It is also possible to simply replace Janna ou Rek'Sai by Aatrox and play without, but nocturne en Master of Blades remains quite significant.
If it will be rare to pass level 9, since this composition relies more on champions at level 3 and therefore rolls at the end of the game, the addition of Lux Steel at the end of the game can be very interesting, since it will make your nocturne et Rek'Sai extremely resistant.
Positioning Tips
Rek'Sai and its origin is essential in this composition: the ability to temporize the opponents for 2 seconds of invulnerability gives time to the assassins to kill the backline and thus considerably reduce the damage that will follow.
In this position, sivir is also protected by Janna. If there are Assassins opposite, it may be interesting to position Sivir in the middle of the board and to have Janna and Yasuo on the sides that will serve as bait.
Always try to put your Assassins on the opposite side of the opposing carries so that they target them first. It may be interesting to have nocturne on one side, and Qiyana et Kha'Zix on the other to cover both corners.
This positioning can be modified according to the Elementary boxes. The most suitable cards for this composition are the cards Clouds (to get the Clouds 3 bonus with Qiyana), Or Underworld for the important attack speed boost which will help a lot nocturne in the middle of the game.
