Kha'Zix
11.2 Kha'zix is not as OP as he used to be as the meta is shifting, still a hard counter because of his insane kill potential early game.





Soraka
Ideal because she constantly heals you and you can constantly heal her.

I am a Jungle/Mid main that plays Nidalee, Kayn, and Xin Zhao in the jungle, and Yasuo, Pantheon, and Akali in the Mid Lane, however Nidalee is the champion that I play the most by far.
So, whether you are new to Nidalee, or are trying to improve your mechanics with her, this is definitely the guide for you.

Flash | |
You should take this spell on Nidalee 99% of the time, whether you jungle, top lane, or mid lane with her. It's important because it allows you to escape situations where you can't win a trade, allow you to secure a kill, or help you escape a gank.

Teleport | |
Teleport is your go-to summoner spell on Nid Top. You want this because if played right Nidalee is a bully early game, so the ideal situation is you get a few kills, then Teleport bot lane and get more kills. It's also helpful if you are behind because it allows you to get back to your lane faster. In general Teleport is better than Ignite for most Top Laners because it scales better late game, making it ideal for Nid Top.

Ghost isn't good on Nidalee and shouldn't be taken.

Once again, not the best spell for Nid.

Barrier | |
A little better than the previous 2 spells mentioned, but it falls off significantly after the laning phase, plus it's useless if you time it incorrectly.
