Hi, your guide is really awesome +1, and it gives a lot of info about Nidalee. I am not playing nidalee as AD tho but i can imagine how it can work out because of her cougar form and AS boos Heal. I am playing Nidalee on mid and im usually carrying hard in Platinum. If you are interested how im playing Nidalee then u defenitelly have to check out my vid when im carrying with her against Diamond team. If you are interested and u wanna learn something new then im linking the vid here ITS NOT AN ADVERTISEMENT. Click to watch Nidalee carry:) If u would reply me about my playstyle please PM me bro!:)


watched your nidalee game, pretty damn good. Thanks for the feedback. If you happen to record a good game of bruiser nidalee, I wouldn't mind putting it in my guide if you'd be okay with that.

Moon I honestly think Tforce is better than iceborn when you don't need the extra armor against champs like tryn.

Tforce --> Froheart --> Visage makes you really tanky and extremely powerful.

The only drawback I see is the lack of the slow from iceborn but other than that Tforce gives a huge power spike.


I agree, Tri-force has some moments when it's better than Iceborn. I think it's better against champions like Trynd and Jax in which you need slightly more damage to deal with them. Iceborn is generally really good against most bruisers though. I think Iceborn is the better option most of the time.

I would have said Triforce was on par with Iceborn before phage nerfs, but after it seems like a situational buy.

Your waveclear is god-tier already, I'd much rather build Blade of the Ruined King for the extremely good active.

Why not mention Ravenous Hydra as a build out of Vampiric Scepter? The life steal keeps you sustained in either form, as does the health regeneration. (Both of these are further increased with Spirit Visage). The splash damage also helps with clearing/pushing lanes, and trading in fights with the active. It also offers the single highest amount of AD from a single item (excluding a fully stacked Bloodthirster.


Ravenous Hydra is only useable in cougar form aside from the stats. That really takes away from the power of the item. I think both Bloodthirster and Blade of the Ruined King are better options as far as lifesteal. I don't really know what else to say, perhaps you could elaborate more, but if i just compare all 3 items, BotRK and BT are better for nidalee

Moonie I'm not sure if you know about these two tricks because you didn't add them in your guide:

1) Autoattack --> Cougar form before the autoattack hits --> Q

The Q then hits the target you autoattacked. It's a great bug for AD Nidalees because the Q damage is a huge burst. Great harass in lane as well as you can just W away from threats

2) Spear --> Cougar form --> Pounce backwards

Increases spear range = Increased damage on spear.


Will add the first bullet because that is a great tip. I didn't specifically include the 2nd point, but I think I mentioned that spear damage is calculated once it lands, I'll have to go back and check. Thanks

I haven't tried this build yet, but I really wanna try her as AD bruiser, so I have more top champions, and she seems fun.

Ah. Centering the banners. I'm considering it. They're centered in my Katarina guide, and I think I like it more than the way they are in my Nidalee guide. It's something I'm considering

+1, I'm starting to really like bruiser nidalee now and this guide is just perfect!

Consider putting the banners in the center?
