Nidalee Items

[quote=Aeacus11]There seems to be disagreement on how best to build Nidalee since her changes. I never really played her BEFORE, so I don't really know what I was missing, and am more concerned with how to best build her now. It seems like the classic build was Doran's ring, rageblade, rabadon's, lichbane. Is this still the way to go, and if so, when should I build Sheen? I have also seen two other ideas. I watched a full Hotshot game on one of the other forums, and it seems like he builds RoA before going for deathcap. Is RoA a must for Nid now that she is "supposed" to be more willing to get into the frey? (speaking of, what about a RoA, Rylai's build to make her tanky but still offers AP) Finally, alot of people now seem to be recommending rushing heextech revolver. This makes some sense since her sustain was nerfed, but what do you build after hextech? Just looking for THE item build for nidalee these days. Thanks![/quote]

[quote=JBuckowskiEsq]I don't know TOO much, but I am actually a little intrigued about a tanky AP nidalee idea. Items Like Rod of Ages, Abyssal Sceptre, Rylai's, Zhonya's, Hextech Gunblade. I think I will go try it out, but it may actually make cougar form useful in team fights, while still maintaining some Poke and Heal capabilities. I'm gonna go try it.[/quote]

[quote=Aeacus11]Hm, no one else? Played a full day of nidalee, and boy it did not go well. Never really felt very effective. :([/quote]

[quote=Pelikins]IMO, Nid should be built with max AP and little else. She is one of the hardest champions in the game to catch, while having one of the most powerful long range abilities. I find that when Nid stacks, the other team tries so hard to kill her that they lose fights by chasing. Yet if they don't focus her, her stacks get out of control and she starts 1 shotting carries. This is how (in my opinion) she should be build. Soulstealer, Boots of swiftness, Rod of Ages, Death Cap, Quicksilver Sash, Liche Bane Nid is a great scout, she basically should be roaming the jungle after the laning phase, laying traps in all the strategic locations. She carries an oracles to kill their wards while she does this. She occasionally tosses spears at the enemy from their jungle keeping them on their toes and feeling afraid of being 1 shot if they aren't at full hp. She also scares the crap out of anyone wanting to jungle as her traps give your team so much map awareness that the other team doesn't use brush anymore to avoid them. This allows your team to sit in brush on their side of the map and gank people as they walk by or gank people who do step on traps and reveal their position. In a team fight, Nid constantly just pokes their back lines from the jungle. Once she has softened them up adequately they either fall back to their turret and you send you AD carry to BD while Nid continues to poke, or you wipe them out with your assassin since they don't have full hp to begin with. If they decide to chase, she runs and kites- tossing spears and traps as she goes- and your team picks off anyone who falls out of position. Eventually she will double back on her pursuers once they reach low hp and your team can help her mop up. Nid is capable of turning 5's on her own. I truly believe she is out of line at the moment...[/quote]

[quote=Wintermond]There are many ways to Build Nidalee. You can Build her AP Poke, Hybrid and AD or AP Tanky DPS. However, the most successfull ways of building her nowadays are AP and Tanky DPS(Doesn't really matter if AD or AP since you're cougar most of the time). If you Build AP, you should start with [[Boots of Speed]]+3 pots, and rush for a [[Sheen]]. Then Build [[Rabadon's Deathcap]], [[Lichbane]], [[Guardian Angel]] and def/[[Void Staff]]. For Tanky DPS, start with [[Booty of Speed]]+3 pots, rush [[Trinity Force]], get [[Sunfire Cape]]/[[Banshee's Veil]] depending on enemy's major damage type, [[Shurelia's Reverie]], [[Atma's Impaler]] and some def or [[Hextech Gunblade]]. I like Tanky DPS much more, feels more powerful. :3[/quote]

[quote=th3BlackAngel]The way I build her: [[Doran's Ring]] > [[Boots of Speed]] [[Sheen]] > [[Mercury's Treads]] > [[Rabadon's Deathcap]] > (either [[Lich Bane]] or [[Rod of Ages]] and then the other one) > [[Void Staff]].[/quote]
