Intro~About me

Hello My name is Ajay (IGN:Super Saiyan Cow) and i'm making a guide for this hottie
Anyways, nidalee is one of my favorites, right now im in silver, and i'm rapidly increasing :D Enjoy my guide and have a good day.

Pros

Cons

can do almost the same thing but better in terms of damage and escape
VERY weak early game (pre-6)
other ranges can do very well (like
can do almost the same thing but better in terms of utility
Some characters like can do the same in terms of poke

But don't get discouraged, can do ALL 3 of these heros, just not as well, so she is very versatile in terms of play style.

Summoner spells

On summoner spell choice can be crucial for not only you, but your kills and deathes, helpfulness in pushing, and even team fights!

Spells You Should Take:

Almost a must! increases chance of living by i'd say 50%. But not as useful on because she already has a flash, which is Rate: 5/5
Useful no matter how you play her! If you buy home-guard boots early, you can do some crazy things, also good for split pushing. Rate: 4/5
So good, makes them so much weaker, and almost secures you a kill, because of your chasing abilities Rate: 5/5
Nothing much to say, i prefer Rate:3/5
ONLY if they have hard cc, like Rate:3/5

Some you should never take:

Meh,exhaust is better Rate:2/5
You already have a heal Rate:2/5

All other summoner spells i didn't cover are some that are not meant to be used on Nidalee, and would have gotten a rating of 1/5

Why Ad, or Why Ap in situations

Always consider this;
Do we have a tank?
Do we have a hyper ADC?
Do we have a strong healer support?

If so, then pick AP nidalee, because most of your team covers what you do best as ad

Also consider this
Do we have an ap?
Do we have a tank?
Do we have a ADC.
Do we have a support?

If you say no to some of these or your just playing solo q, i recommend playing AD because of her high damage output and mobility

Spells (Human)

High poke, very good on ap, can do about half their health with only 1. It is also very good even if you are AD early game, because of the way backing works and items early on.

Again, very good spell, good for leasing Blue buff, and lowering their teams magic resistance and armor early on. Grants river so place them in areas that can help out the team

Use this for split pushing, because it gives attack speed and procs Also heals.

unlocks beast form.

Spells (Beast)

Strong spell when playing ad, in fact your only ad spell. Now, when the target as lost some health, it does basically triple the damage of an auto attack, as well as procs items like and

Strong AP spell, and makes you very mobile, use this and your passive to run away from anyone.

Just an aoe skill for AP, decent in lane for wave clearing under the tower.

Spells- Using Pounce

Pounce Guide

Found this off of another guide, and it seems useful!
Red are places where you can't over
Green are places where you can over
(You can also use flash if you have it)

Items

-Why boots? The scaling of these boots with your passive is very strong,even with the nerfs.

sight ward Crazy item, saves your live as alot of characters, buy this often

If you are behind, I recommend buying 1 or 2 because of the strong early game. If you are ahead, i straight buy because of the very very high damage.

If your ap and your behind, your in trouble and you should play AD, beacause sometimes its hard to catch up. If you insist of playing Ap, buy some of these. Make sure u always buy a

lichbane - Very good for split pushing and high damage as well as utility

Iceborn gauntlets- Against high ad, this can grant alot of tankiness

- So strong.

- Against ap or if you need mana

increases your damage output, and you can healz alot

As Ad build some of these

trinity's force - Strong for ad, lots of health and utility

Very strong because of the stats in brings on the board for you

against high ad...very good

i almost always buy this item along with

So so strong late game.

the bloodthrister meh, don't like it because it gives little stats.

Skill Sequence (AD)

IN BEAST

into them
or them

Then go into Your ranged human form

just use and
try to finish them with a Javelin, then if they aren't dead, revert back to beast form

NOTE that you can use beast or human at any time at any order and follow up,just this is the best way as ad for damage

Farming

Simple,

in beast form

W>E>Q>R

Human

W>Q>E>R

You can push very fast like this and almost always get the creeps

Early Game

Try to play passive against characters like
and or other characters with gap closers

Poke until level 6, and try to into into
Then revert to your human form.
