Learn how to play with Nidalee with these essential tips.
Tags:
All
Nidalee's Javelin Toss (Q) marks enemies as "Hunted" if it hits, revealing them and empowering her cougar abilities. Wait for her to land a spear before engaging, as she deals significantly more damage to Hunted targets.
Basic Team Fight Skirmish
When securing objectives like Dragon or Baron, position to benefit from Nidalee's E (Primal Surge), which provides both healing and attack speed. This can significantly increase your team's objective-taking speed.
Late Game
Nidalee lacks reliable engage tools but excels at follow-up damage. Use your own CC abilities first, allowing her to land an easy Javelin Toss (Q) on immobilized targets.
Team Fight Skirmish
If you have lane priority, be ready to rotate and assist Nidalee with counter-jungling, especially from levels 3-5 when she's looking to steal enemy camps.
Lane Phase
When fighting alongside Nidalee, look for skirmishes near brushes. Her passive grants her 10-30% bonus movement speed in brush, allowing her to reposition quickly during fights and land more abilities.
Skirmish Team Fight
When Nidalee ganks your lane, try to bait enemies toward unwarded brushes where she might be waiting. Her human form Q (Javelin Toss) is easier to land from fog of war and deals more damage from longer distances.
Basic Lane Phase
Nidalee's E (Primal Surge) heals more on low-health targets (up to double healing at very low health). For maximum healing efficiency, try to stay within medium range of her when your health is low rather than immediately backing.
Basic Lane Phase Skirmish
Communicate with Nidalee about where she places her W (Bushwhack) traps. These traps provide vision for 120 seconds and mark enemies as Hunted when triggered, creating opportunities for surprise engages.
Advanced Skirmish Team Fight
Help Nidalee land her Javelin Toss (Q) by maintaining vision control in choke points. Her spear deals up to 200% increased damage at maximum range, potentially chunking enemies before objectives or teamfights.
Team Fight Late Game
In late game teamfights, Nidalee's burst damage falls off against tanky teams. Peel for her while she uses her E (Primal Surge) to keep your carry alive with healing and attack speed buffs.
