🐾 So... You Want to Learn Nidalee?
The human with a big cougar form

Hey there! I'm a Mastery 10 Nidalee main sitting in Platinum, and let me tell you — I LOVE playing this champ. She’s not the easiest pick, especially for beginners, but once u understand how she works, she becomes insanely powerful.

Nidalee is one of those champs with a high skill ceiling. She’s all about decision-making, map awareness, and clean mechanics. But don’t let that scare u — she also has a super strong early game and tons of ganking potential. If u like one-shot spears, a human cat baddie and zooming around the map like a jungle cat, then Nidalee might just be ur new favorite champ.

With Nidalee, ur first clear depends on one thing: where can u gank early?
U wanna start on the opposite side of the map from where the best gank opportunity is. So if ur top lane is a Darius into a Garen, and ur bot lane is double enchanter — guess where ur pathing? Yup, start bot side and path top!

U can begin either Blue or Red buff — both clears are fine. What matters is hitting level 3 fast and being ready to pressure the map. Nidalee’s early game is nasty, so don’t waste time full-clearing like a farm simulator. If the enemy jungler has a weak early (like Amumu, Karthus, etc.), look to invade as soon as ur level 3.


Use ur vision, track the enemy jungler, and go ruin their day. If they try to fight u early? Surprise! Ur a cougar with claws — they’re gonna cry like Viego when he lost Isolde.

🐾 Thanks for Reading!

Thanks a lot for reading my little Nidalee guide! I hope it helped u understand the champ a bit better and maybe even made u wanna try her out. She's not easy, but once u get the hang of her, it's sooo worth it.

Sorry if the guide isn't perfect — I'm still figuring out how to use Mobafire properly 😅 But hey, we all start somewhere, right?

Good luck in ur games, and remember: hit the spear, delete the squishies, and always play like a wild cat. See u on the Rift!
