The 2 builds above are for either early game harrasing (left) or survivability (right)

I will update this build soon, just haven't had enough time to write everything yet.

INTRODUKTION

The first build is my own personal favorite, it allows you to harass your enemies really easy with your spear. However, constant harassing isn't always good, so if the enemies are too good to get harassed by the spears (or can counter it someway) the second build will be the best.

WHY YOU SHOULD PLAY NIDALEE

Nidalee is a really good dps/support champion with great heals and amazing hits with your javelin. With this build you will be able to maximize your damage output while in the cougar form aswell.

Pros:
Really good at harrasing early/mid game
Insane damage with javelin
Traps that can spot ganks/invis
Good at taking out the enemy carries with 1 or 2 javelins
Great ganker
Superb farmer with cougar

Cons:
Often targetted first
Can't really do anything against good tanks
Weaker end game
Weak (die easily)

ABOUT NIDALEE

There are few dwellers, let alone champions, residing in the blasted and dangerous lands that lie south of the Great Barrier. Much of that world still bears the scars of past Rune Wars, especially the mysterious ***ungu Jungle. There are long-forgotten treasures in these strange places which many risk life and limb to acquire. The champion known as Nidalee was only a young girl travelling with her treasure-seeking parents when they lost their way in the dense, rainy jungles. The jungle was unforgiving, and she watched her parents suffer agonizing final days as they fell victim to a mysterious and vicious disease. As improbable as it was for a child to survive in the inhospitable jungle by herself, she did just that. Her youthful innocence and a fortunate naivete caused her to appeal to the beasts of that place and she was taken in by a family of cougars and raised as one of their own. She grew and somehow absorbed the raw magic of the dense wilds, evolving beyond both her human physiology and her feline affectation. On one pivotal day in her life, standing over the torn remnants of a Noxian squad of woodcutters, Nidalee chose to rejoin the so-called civilized world, to fight in the League of Legends so as to protect the vast woods from both Demacia and Noxus.

Nidalee was taught to fight by her feline family, battling viciously with tooth and nail. Something in her feline ways may draw you to her, but remember that she is no pussycat.
