IMPORTANT - UPDATES

Alright, most of the information in this guide is outdated now (the information, not the builds). I've added a new build, Bruiser Nidalee, you can choose between either build. They are both very strong. There is no textual guide for the bruiser nidalee yet. The t2 boots are at the end because you should just pick them up whenever convenient, which boots you buy are up to you. Get a negatron cloak early if you're having problems with AP champions, get chain armor if you're having problem with AD champions. It's common sense, just figure it out.

So while you're reading...

Introduction

There are three very very different builds listed in this guide. Generally I play Nidalee as the craziest split pusher alive. Take the time to try the builds that interest you, if you play them right I'm sure you will do well.

Build 1: Tankish AP

This is an interesting build. I drew it up for ***** and giggles, but it worked quite well so I decided to add it here and replace the generic AP build.

RoA for tankishness.
WoTA gives you crazy spellvamp to save you mana while sustaining lane.
Tear stacks insanely fast and stops all mana problems.
Deathcap doesn't need to be explained.
Lichbane doesn't need to be explained.

You are an early game GOD. Play it to your advantage. Hit 6, instawin lane. That's the idea behind Nidalee. Towards late game you'll generally be avoiding teamfights and splitpushing. If you must be in a teamfight make sure to poke poke poke poke poke. If you or your team starts a teamfight without poking, you're doing it wrong.

Summary

That's basically it. You're going to be an unstoppable force of rape. Please before you vote take the time to TRY to build. It really does work.
