Hello im suigestu and this is my FIRST build so please dont hate. If you can comment below and let me know some things i can add. Anyway this is a AP Nidalee build.Its no HotShotGG build but im trying. This guide is more for mid than any other lane and it also works in threes. Your choice! So im going to start off by letting you guys know that im not an expert just a guy thats pretty average with nidalee.

Why play nidalee? Nidalee is a great champion that can go ap or ad but in my opinion better AP.
Nidalee's roles:
.Support - Heal but not the best support
.Solo top - Can solo top cause she can heal and play AD (most AD go top)
.Mid - She can be an AP carry, and Ap carries go mid

Another reason is she is so fun because you can go from being a ranged spear throwing to a deathly cougar and chase your enemys down. Her switch between is big because in her human form she can heal and but down "free wards" or traps but not a lot of damage except harass(spears). In cougar she can deal more damage and chase but no heals or traps.

Some Pros and Cons:



Pros
+Spears are great harass
+Heal keeps her in lane longer
+Travel Quickly
+Ranged and Melee
+Cant be ganked


Cons
-Squishy Early
-No CC
-Ganks are not that great
-Easy to dodge Spears unless your good
-Mana Dependent till 6

Why i chose these runes:

- The early magic pen really helps my spears do even more damage without having to get any AP and being able to harass more.

- The mana per level makes it so i dont have to get mana items for a long time unless really needed.

- The ability power per level lets you get ap while you are leveling up. This is not really needed all that much but i use it so i can get Ap while im in lane without having to go back

- Now these are the runes you need to get that real early damage and be able to get first blood. These are for the lvl 1-6 damage and so you can harass even harder than you would with just Magic pen

Why i chose these masteries:

- Boosts your Ghost
- Little more early AP
- Easier to last hit
- More cooldown reduction if you get Cooldown boots
- Early Magic Pen
- Adds more to your Ability power per level
- Ability power on percentages better with more ability power
- Deal more damage to weak targets in team fights mainly
- Boosts your Flash
- More mana regen
- More speed to chase and dodge skillshots
- You should be getting blue and sometimes red, have them longer
