Learn how to Nidalee counter with these essential tips.

All
Position behind minions or allies when facing Nidalee — her Q (Javelin Toss) stops at the first target hit, preventing both its high damage (up to 450 + 150% AP at max range) and the Hunted mark that empowers her Cougar form abilities.
Basic Lane Phase Skirmish
Place deeper wards in Nidalee's jungle rather than just at entrances — her Cougar form allows her to jump over walls and bypass standard ward spots, making her ganks unpredictable.
Lane Phase
Stay grouped when Nidalee is ahead — she excels at assassinating isolated targets with her Hunted mechanics, but struggles against coordinated teams that can immediately apply crowd control.
Late Game Team Fight
Engage on Nidalee immediately after she uses her Q (Javelin Toss) — she is most vulnerable when she overextends to throw spears, and she'll have limited damage without her primary ability.
Team Fight Skirmish
Save at least one crowd control ability for when Nidalee commits with her Cougar form — once she jumps in, she becomes vulnerable if she can't quickly secure a kill or escape.
Skirmish Team Fight
Fight away from brush when possible — Nidalee gains 10-30% bonus movement speed in brush through her passive, making her harder to catch and improving her kiting ability.
Skirmish Team Fight
Coordinate with your team to invade Nidalee's jungle during her first clear — she can be vulnerable if she hasn't properly kited camps, giving you an opportunity to set her behind early.
Advanced Lane Phase
Destroy Nidalee's W (Bushwhack) traps with 2 ranged or 3 melee auto attacks — clearing them denies her vision and prevents the Hunted mark application.
Lane Phase Skirmish
Place Control Wards in key jungle pathways to reveal Nidalee's Bushwhack traps — this prevents them from marking you as Hunted and denies her the movement speed and enhanced Cougar abilities.
Lane Phase Skirmish
Nidalee doesn't have the typical level 6 power spike since she already has her ultimate at level 1. Her biggest power spikes come from completing her jungle item and after putting several points in her Q.
