I registered on mobafire just so i could upvote and comment a bit about this guide :D

As nidalee player i find this build even more viable than most AP nidalee builds. simply at higher elo people are usually very good at avoiding nidalee's spears(espetially thrown from afar), which greatly reduces ap nidalee's damage output. moreover, as the author of this guide pointed out, in teamfights ap nidalee isnt as contributional as ad or hybrid.

the only thing i'd change in this build, is that i'd add Lich Bane or Triniy Force to it (triforce makes it easier to chace/escape too, which seems to lay in well into this guide). i'd add one of these items for extra damage in both forms. as nidalee can constanty use her abilities, passive triggers almost every 2-4 seconds, thus greatly increasing damage output in both, human and (especially) cougar form.

sorry for my bad English, it's not my mother tongue.

all in all... +1 and i'll be waiting for updates.

Let me put it this way. Corki's Q and R deal AP damage correct? A surprisingly large amount of it. But you don't see people building him as an AP champ right? Sure they might build a Sheen or a triforce, but they build him more ad heavy since his kit lends itself well to it.

The way I see it, Nida's Pounce and the entirety of her cougar form, even her passive, lends itself well to being an AD or hybrid champ. As an AP, you are required to deal damage with spears alone. No other AP champ is forced to do this, short of Zilean with his Time Bomb. If she wants to deal damage besides as poker with no real team fight use besides support, she has to go cougar, putting her in the line of fire. Which means she dies unless she has tanky items, which means her damage goes down, and she is no longer efficient.

With my build she has ap, so she can still poke, but upon entering cougar for, she can deal even MORE damage with auto's and her Takedown. On top of that, Rylai's Crystal Scepter means that she has team fight utility slowing with every pounce and swipe.

Sure AP is a viable build, but its not the only one.

Also, thank you everyone for the up votes ^_^.

Ok guys,but look at this.He is building hybrid/fighter Nidalee.She is meant to deal huge amount of damage by trowing spears.He has only 150 AP,btw in this build Nidalee has more AD than AP.DuskToGlory is right,number 3 Nidalee guide is solo top,but that guide has 400 AP minimum,that is more that double this!Come on,you cannot tell me this is good.

A good player can play any champion on any lane.

The current number 3 Nidalee guide is a solo top guide, there is nothing wrong with Nidalee solo top. have you even tried her solo top? If you have and failed, I'd say it wasn't Nidalee's fault, you just weren't cut out for Nidalee solo top.

+1 by the way author.

Ahahaha,lol dude,she is not a tank.I can't believe.Don't play her solo top.Take Wukong, Olaf, Dr. Mundo, Gangplank or any other fighter,even Shen, Kennen and Akali can solo top,but they are just made to do that.You cannot take any character on solo top.

lol, top commenter is a noob HSGG wannabe. AD nidalee is extremely viable, more viable than AP, and snowballs hard.

I have to say, I get no point why this got a -1...

It may not be the best build, and people have different playstyle. I think this is a new playstyle on Nidalee, and although I use AP Nidalee solo top, I like this build :)

Good job, +1.

(Add comment to vote to prevent trolls my friend XD)

Ok, I'd like to point out that saying x item doesn't work on y champ is a complete fallacy, no matter who it is. Ok, so maybe a BT on zilean might be a bad idea, since it doesn't synergize with his abilities, but these items follow Nidalee's strengths as I see them. Her Takedown is a basic damage multiplier as a cougar, and an amazingly good one at that. Her Pounce makes her amazing at chasing. Going pure AP as Nida is an amazing waste, since to survive even a moment in cougar form as AP in team fights is difficult unless you go Tanky AP, which simply does not deal as much damage. All she has to ad to team fights is her heal and her Q as poke. What I do is maximize the utility of both forms. Hextech Gunblade and Rylai's Crystal Scepter allows the Q to deal considerable damage at max range, with the additional utility of the slow. The gunblade also allows for basic survivability through the mid game, and some pretty good chasing. All other items can be freely changed, and I am (even right now) working on them.

Also, if you think that AD Nidalee is not viable, why are there high elo players using the basic Atmogs build on her? Just because you think that AD nida isn't as good, doesn't mean that it isn't viable.

I simply posted this to gather ideas about THIS build. If you have criticisms about the build, feel free to post them, but as I said, this is a work in progress; an experiment if you will. When I have final results and have played more than thirty games with this build I will be able to provide exact guide details. Until then, try it yourself in solo top, and see how good it can be. Or how bad if you are dead set on seeing it that way.

No No No....

let me start at the items getting hyprid items is the stupids idea ever on Nidalee. I know some people play ad with Nidalee but that's just dumb. She have to throw her spear and do **** lost of damage.
Chance to ap items because hyprid doesn't work on Nidalee at all!


THE TEXT IS VERY VERY SHORT, TOO SHORT! you need a lot if more chapters you just made your guide in about 1 hour if longer you are really slow. get some more chapters before you even start thinking about publish it.


If you created the guide same day you published it, the guide will not be good. You can click on save and then your guide is saved and them come back tomorrow and start working on it again. You can find you guide under "View Profile" and then under "Guides/Builds"

This need to do something more on so -1. Will come back later for a possible upvote but yiou have to make youe chances first
