Intriguing introduction~

Introduction

// Hello there! I'm Adeori and this is my guide - My 3rd guide on Mobafire! I take great pride in my guides. My other guides are for Evelynn and Fizz, and I'd love it if you could go and check them out!

// Anyway, without further ado, I present to you (Rhyming is unintentional!)... Nimble ! My indepth guide on the league's favourite feline friend! has been one of my long time mains - I just adore her playstyle - She's very adaptable and mobile, leaping around with her . I suggest picking her up, as she's a bunch of fun to play!

// For those of you curious, who don't want to read on to save time, because you assume the guide will be useless, this is what the guide can offer :-

My personal playstyle for Nidalee
An indepth, detailed guide
Many choices to create your own build
2 strong builds for Nidalee
An aesthetically pleasing guide

// This guide clearly has a lot to offer - However, only to those willing to learn. You won't understand as well as someone who read the entire guide if you only glance at the cheatsheet - I recommend you read the entire guide, and absorb all the information you can. However, if you're in a rush, I recommend just glancing over the items section - As the runes, masteries and skill order will generally stay the same.

Now for a video from Amorid, of some amazing spearshots

Credits

// This is just a section for some special mentions - People who have helped me, besides of course, all the readers of this guide (Yes, you!), as you're the ones who make my guide useful, as it'd be useless if noone read it... (Captain obvious, much?). Anyway, here's a list of notable people :-

Jhoijhoi - Helped me quite a bit with this guide, indirectly or not - She taught me how to format with her formatting guide, and she also made my banners in her signature shop
Apotheosis - My warding information is from his Tryndamere which you can find here

Which build?

// So, clearly, I've provided you with 2 builds, and they're both very different from each other - But why would you take tanky DPS over AP? Well, there's things that make them more useful in certain parts of the game than other parts - For example, tanky DPS is better endgame, however, AP is better early and mid game, and only falls off a bit late game. Tanky DPS is much easier in teamfights, so, if you're inexperienced with endgame AP Nidalee, you might want to take tanky DPS . Also, tanky DPS Nidalee is arguably the better solo top - Whilst AP is the better mid laner - However both builds can be played top or mid without large drawbacks.

AP build

__// The AP build is a solid build, the most common build up until recently. The sustainability is amazing, with a nicely scaling heal and a long distance nuke. Late game, after getting a bit of gold, you'll find yourself with tons of AP - Meaning that your javelin toss deals TONS OF DAMAGE!

PROS :
__+ Good sustain
__+ Ranged nuke
__+ High burst

CONS :
__- A bit squishy
__- Bad DPSing

SPACE

Tanky DPS

__// The tanky DPS build is a very solid solo top build - With sustainability from heals, long ranged harassing and lasthitting - Something that most solo tops lack, and also an extremely strong level 6. Also, her DPSing and tankiness is a force to be reckoned with in teamfights.

PROS :
__+ Great DPS
__+ Very tanky
__+ Good endgame

CONS :
__- Bad burst
__- Expensive!

Silly summoner spells~

Summoner spells

: A great spell, giving a lot of mobility. It increases the time you're in lane. Also, if you plan on farming top all game, you can teleport onto wards into teamfights, being at the teamfight in seconds.

PROS :
--+ Good mobility
--+ Good laning

CONS :
--- High cooldown

SPACE

: A great escape, giving a clutch spell. Sometimes, your pounce isn't good enough to escape the claws of death, so this is great! Also, flash pouncing onto someone can take them by surprise easily.

PROS :
--+ Great escape
--+ Surprise jump

CONS :
--- High cooldown

SPACE

: Not my personal favourite, even for escapes. You should probably hit the speedcap with boots, and , however, some people prefer this over ghost, which may be your opinion.

PROS :
--+ Good escape
--+ Good chasing

CONS :
--- Can't walljump
