Summoner Spells

Back to Top ▲
Flash
  • Probably one of the best summoner spells to bring for nearly all of the champions.
Ignite
  • Works great for any laning champions other than supports.
  • Ignite reduces the amount of healing while decreasing the targets' health.
Exhaust
  • Allows you to do greater damage.
  • Slows your enemy, enabling you to catch up even faster.
  • [Exhaust > Cougar form W > Flash] will help you get away easily.
Teleport
  • Great for split pushing.

Since this is a tanky Nidalee guide, I recommend running 9/21.

  • You may move the 1 point on Safeguard to anywhere you want if you don't tower dive a lot.
  • You may move the 3 points on Juggernaut to Legendary Armor.

Take W at level one. This will help you find any enemy nearby that steps on them. Use them as needed. Place at least 3 of these before 1:54.
Recommended areas:
Tri-bush, side-bushes, red or blue buff or near.

Max out E first to help you sustain in lane for as long as possible as it heals you. This spell will also give you some attack speed. You do not want to use this skill when your mana is below 40% and you have over 75% health. You will want to use that 40% when you or your enemy wants to trade.

Max out Q next. Her Q in cougar form deals a great amount of damage.

Her W will be the last skill you'll max out want to max out.

Of course, point up R when you are able to.

W, E, R are used to proc her Trinity Force/Sheen.

Items

Start With
Core
Situational
THE START
You'll want one to start up with 1001_32.png boots and 2003_32.png three health potions. Another option is 1029_32.png cloth armor and five potions.

THE LEVEL 1 CORE
1055_32.pngTwo Doran's Blade works great on Nidalee. I've also tried Doran's Blade + 1056_32.png Doran's Ring, hell can I say, this works amazing. Doran's Ring will make you much fatter along with additional 15 AP, 3 mana regen per 5 seconds, AND 5 mana per unit killed. I find myself sustaining a lot better with dBlade + dRing. You may buy 2041_32.png Crystalline Flask if you want and hold onto it until you need some space. You will want to grab 3044_32.png Phage right after your double dorans. You may grab 1029_32.png/1033_32.png whenever if you are taking too much damage from your enemy. You may consider building a 3028_32.png Chalice, 3155_32.png Hexdrinker, 3139_32.png Mercurial Scimitar, and/or 3065_32.png Spirit Visage when you are being bullied too much by an AP.

THE LEVEL 2 CORE
The next thing you want to do is to rush your 3078_32.png Trinity Force. This item works great on Nidalee. Once I have this item and I managed to stay neutral or fed, I know I can 1v1 nearly anyone I run into. Now it's up to you to choose between more health or armor + magic resist. I usually grab 1033_32.png (if taking more damage from AP) /1031_32.png (if taking more damage from AD) then pick up a 1011_32.png. After the Giant's Belts, I finish up my 3026_32.png Guardian's Angel. You may build your Giant's Belt to 3083_32.png Warmog's Armor or 3143_32.png Randuin's Omen. *Note: If your team is completely stomping your enemies and/or you are able to take hits before buying Guardian's Angel/Giant's belt, just build up some damage instead.

SOME DAMAGE
If you did not build any magic resist items early on, you may build a 3072_32.png Bloodthirster and/or 3124_32.png Guinsoo's Rageblade. Stacking up Guinsoo's Rageblade is quite easy in Nidalee as you will be using your W skill in human form a lot when traveling. If you want to build 3071_32.png Black Cleaver, I recommend giving up Bloodthirster and build Guinsoo's Blade along with this item.

I like this guide. You're so honest! I'm learning to use Nidalee top and I'm watching LK guides. I think urs is not the best but I like your speaking form. (My English is poor, im sorry, I hope you understand me). ;)

Lol, not to be rude, you have 70% win rate with Nidalee, your guide is rated pretty low, which makes me "laugh."

On the real though, the amount of rank games does not really judge a guide to me.

Anyway, I made this guide just to share what how I play Nidalee. And I'm already knocked out of top list, I hope that ended your laughter.
