Introduction

Introduction

Hi guys my name is InfamousJoker I play in the NA server and feel free to add me and play with me I don't bite, I've decided to write my own perspective of playing Nidalee one of the funnest champion to play in league imo.

Masteries

Masteries

With I utilize a standard 9/0/21 getting to get 15% magic penetration and getting important skills in the Utility tree to get increased laning power.

Runes

Greater Quintessence of Ability Power:This rune is to give Nidalee some good AP at the start so you can start building on your Rod of Ages right away,
Greater Mark of Magic Penetration: Magic penetration enough said.
Greater Glyph of Scaling Ability Power: I got these instead of flat AP because you don't really harass much to lvl 6 and at that time you'll get the same AP as flat runes and it still scales into late game pretty good.
greater seal of replenishment: Gives you mp/5 regen so that you can sustain in lane and spam your heals and harass in cougar form.

Summoner Spells

: A must for solotop

space

: A very good escape/chase tool I personally prefer flash over ghost.

space

: Another good chase/escape tool most recommended though.

Ability Explanations

Ability Explanation

Prowl: This passive makes you extremely quick in bushes allowing you to have good lane control on top because of the top brushes.
Javelin Toss / Takedown: What people love and hate Nidalee for she can poke like no tomorrow steal kills, and oh did I mention it does a ton of damage.
Bushwhack / Pounce: Gives you map control I learn it at level one to help jungler's, and to also put a bunch of them on the top brush this also shreds a bunch of armor/mag resist so its good to put them near towers when your team is at a standoff with the enemy team.
Primal Surge / Swipe: Makes Nidalee unmovable in lane as she can just spam these all day.
Aspect Of The Cougar:Gives you very nice stats increase. And is also very good for team fights when your done poking with your spears and healing your team. Also really good to farm in lane in this mode and harass.

Items

Items

Starting Item

With the rune setup/masterty setup you can start working on your rod of ages right away.

Core Items

: This gives you a ton of health / mana / ap in my opinion one of the best AP items in the game.
: Gives you amazing AP + amazing passive.
: Converts AP into AD after using skills gives you more damage in team fights
Allows your spear to do that much more damage.

Optional Items

Gives a balanced stats between magic resist and armor but the true use of this item is giving you a second life every 5 minutes.
Helpful against teams with lots of CC (Crowd Control)
Gives you a nice HP boost as well and a very nice slow on your spears. But I personally dont use the item but I'm putting it up here for you guys
Great item against melee auto attackers.
