Essence Reaver on Nidalee doesn't seem like an amazing choice for her. Nid's main damage is coming from her cougar form that doesn't require mana. And the burst damage from it means you don't need a ton of mana to try and land the spear or step on a trap. I think a different item like a Rageblade or even Bloodthirster could work.

Feast and Dangerous Game will both be more useful than Warlord imo. Feast increases your sustain and its basically one of the best masteries in the offensive tree when you look at masteries which increase your laning. Warlord on the other hand gives 5% bonus attack damage. Remember that this is counted from the bonus attack damage which means that the base attack damage, which is around ~100 iirc, won't be counted to the amount. So let's say that you have 100 base damage and you have Bloodthirster. It means that you have 100 + 80 + 80*0,05 = 184 attack damage. Feast gives you 6*3 health and 6*1 mana per wave which is quite huge considering that you can get the mastery without using too many points in the offensive tree. Dangerous Game can save you during a fight if you kill him first and you have his Ignite on you.

Enchanted Armor also increase bonus armor. Let's say you have Randuin's Omen and Guardian Angel and you are level 18 which means that you have 80 base armor. You have 80 + 120 + 120*0,05 = 206 armor. 6 bonus armor doesn't sound too much imo.

Oh well, it's esthetics

Okay.

I don't believe that Life steal quint is worth taking. You'll have better sustain by taking Feast imo. I run 1x Greater Quintessence of Armor and 2x Greater Quintessence of Attack Speed to deny enemy's harass on me.

Well I meant Primal Surge :p

I really don't think I need Feast and Dangerous Game because I will build up in early to mid game Essence Reaver and Blade of the Ruined King or Vampiric Scepter so I don't really need those, still I think more AD will be better.

Okay Recovery maybe does mean a lot in early game but i preffer to play her kinda tricky and defensive in early, so armor will help Nida in mid/late game, since she's very squishy in late and you must be very skilled to outplay whole team.

Guide Table of Contents - I just like it on bottom of my guide, it looks....fabolous...to me. :D



Yeah, this is true. She relies on her burst damage but that one "tactic" I pointed out is for very early game and you can't just jump on your opponent and attack them whilst in cat form, that would be extremely risky play.

I know, maybe it would be better to change it with AD marks, Armor seals and Magic resist Glyphs with 1x Life Steal Quint and 2x AS Quint. It's kinda better and I'll change it soon, thanks for recommending AS Quints. ^^ So you don't need Berserker's Greaves. Btw I don't know for Berserker's Greaves, it was stupid decision I guess.

Is Surge still viable on Summoners Rift? because I think it isn't >.>

Okay so here we go:

I am comparing Warlord , Feast and Dangerous Game because they are from the same branch which means that you can use those points on Warlord on those two masteries.

You need quite much armor and magic resistance to make Enchanted Armor effective and even then it isn't quite much. At 200 armor it gives you 10 armor. Recovery doesn't scale well to the late game but is superior in the early game phase.

Ok

Ok

Ok

It seems so out of place. Most people just use something like [anchor=top] and [goto=top] code to get to the top table of contents.

Well what I meant is that you mostly rely on your little harass using your combination of auto attacks, W and Q. Then you usually go in with your Pounce, Swipe and Takedown and you don't need as much autoattacks. Surely you agree that Nidalee relies more on her burst than on her sustained damage?

Well I guess those runes could be worth considering against certain matchups.

I can't honestly understand why'd you want to take Berserker's Greaves when you could pick Mercury's Treads, Mobility Boots or Ninja Tabi. They are all imo far more useful especially when you have attack speed bonus on Surge

Well, Ok. I guess.

I do not know why you compare Warlord with Feast and Dangerous Game when those are two different things.

I choosed Enchanted Armor because, witch my gameplay, it means to me more than Recovery .

That's why I didn't made Masteries chapter, because it all matters to your gameplay and your understanding so... it pretty much depends from person to person...

Trinity Force or any other "Mixed" item is called Mixed here because I didn't want to count them in strict offensive or defensive items.

I suggested Ignite because I need it while laning, but it doesn't mean that you have to follow that. If you are more sure with her then you can take any other spell ether , I don't see any problem with that.

I just...Why is that Table of Contents in the end bothering you or anyone else? xD I don't think it's useless since I need them every time whenever I want to jump back on chapters. It makes me sad when in other guides there is no Table of Contents on the end. T^T

Okay, I would like to hear this, since you said "You are basically a caster which means that you aren't relying on your basic attacks" - How can you rely on her spells when you build AD, and all her spells except Takedown are ap - even in cat form.

And yes, in early game I build attack speed items while I have Life Steal(x1) Quint and AD runes. Idk, I just used to this runes with her and this kind of build.

Also Berserker's Greaves are not main, I buy them in early game, but I suggested Mercury's Treads and Ninja Tabi too.

And the final one - the tactic one. Welp I have no idea what to say, she's very mobile and you can play her in many ways, just pick her in normal game try different gameplays, try out her abilities and you can build your own tactics. It's that simple. :)

btw: I just writed the simple one, surly you can't take kills always with the same tactic. Cheers. :3

Warlord is worse than Feast and Dangerous Game

Enchanted Armor is worse than Recovery if you aren't going to build much armor and magic resist

Trinity Force isn't really mixed item. The only defensive stat is has is health

Greater Quintessence of Attack Speed and Greater Quintessence of Armor are imo superior to your current rune choices because you don't really need the lifesteal quints when you have Primal Surge and Doran's Blade

Nidalee has two executes already. You take Ignite against people who have super much heals etc.

Berserker's Greaves isn't imo even viable - putting it as the main choice of boots makes me ill. You are basically a caster which means that you aren't relying on your basic attacks

You will be squishy even with Black Cleaver. Youmuu's Ghostblade has imo even better synergy with Nidalee

Table of Contents in the end is pretty useless imo

mastery section is needed because of how well Nidalee functions with different kind of mastery setups

EDIT: Forgot to mention that Iceborn Gauntlet is superior to Trinity Force in most cases when you aren't snowballing and you need to get carried

Also the combo of your "both side fight" is imo wrong because you use Javelin Toss> Pounce> Swipe> Takedown>Basic attacks> Takedown/ Pounce away.

Thank youuu ^^

(:

Hm , well I will explain it here instead of changing whole story on the guide. :D I'm kinda lazy for that right now. Here's the reason:

Ravenous Hydra is helpful only while you are in Cat form whilst in Human form it's useless - for melees passive means a lot.
And look at its flat stats = 75 AD, 12 Life Steal and 15 Health Regen.

Essence Reaver have 80 AD, 10 cooldown and 10 Life Steal. Additionally passive will regen her mana on hit.

Since you should play her with "Split push" tactic Essence Reaver will help you to deal more damage with basic attack.

If you worry about loosing and teamfight, well it's better to play safely and wait them to start a fight. Until then throw basic attacks.

If you can't split push and your team is trying to group than it's surly better to go with hydra.

Anyway, while building a team you will see what kind of team you have and in early game you will probably know which items you should start with.

I hope I explained it well. :)

Edit: I didn't mention that Health Regen is not necessary for her because she have heal. Yeah, she have no AP but it will still do as health regen because you will use that spell often to gain attack speed.

+ Best item combination with Essence Reaver is Trinity Force.

I like this guide, but I want to hear more explantion on the Essence Reaver choice before I up-vote. Going Ravenous Hydra over Essence Reaver is a lot more viable.

Just to let you know, the views went up because you check the guide yourself when you added something new. Every time you click "view" you get another view ;)

I use tinypic for uploads and have had 0 problems up till now (:

Yeah, yeah. I just started a new guide and view number was getting higher and higher, I had no idea that everyone can see my guide before publishing it. And in the end i published it - I don't know why, but oh well, what's done can't be undone. (Stupid excuses xD)

Actually I am still working on its appearance and I can't tell if final one is going to look like this. Also, I'll add every single detail that is missing in guide.

Good to know that I'll get downvotes for no boots in final build. I should change that swiftly.

I have no idea why can't you see those pictures, I am using dropbox for upload, but I will change it in order to prevent the current problem.
Thank you for support.
