Thanks for this guide! When I started off playing Nid, this is the one I began with and have stuck to it ever since. I generally change some of the later items, but a really nice guide to get started!!

Nice guide.
As SpicyRice said you need to get the buffs as often as possible with Nidalee since she can get them quite easily once she's lvl 6.
And blue buff will be especially necessary since you don't have any mana regen.
I play Nidalee myself and she used to be my main, I'll try your build.

I can see the bushwhack for the first skill is to avoid the "grass gank" many people like to use at the start of the game, but if you have a teammate with clairvoyance, and a jungler not starting at the blue golem, I'd go with heal first instead. (My slice of bread)

Nidalee's main damage output comes from cougar form, which is magical damage. I know that Takedown deals physical damage, but as you will probably get Lich Bane you will deal magical damage, magical damage, magical damage.

Just thought I'd let you know that this is actually incorrect. Though most aren't aware, while Lich Bane adds 100% of your AP to your next attack, it adds it as physical damage, not magical. This works as a double-edged sword: it unfortunately makes magic pen less effective in terms of maximising all the damage you do (since quite a large amount of it becomes physical), though on the other hand it makes them more difficult to itemize against you in particular.

Apart from that minor error, this looks to be a great Nidalee guide which I hope to try out soon and return with a vote!

pretty much exactly the build i use on nidalee.

perhaps add mejais as optional: can sometimes be a good idea depending on your lane and mid-game dominance.

also red and blue buffs v important on nidalee. so she is a more appropriate pick if you don't have a jungler (she jungles v quick from lvl 6+) or have a jungler who leaves the jungle early (amumu, shen)

think these should be added but overall v good

thank you for the feedback! I will add a/some section(s) about this :)
