Learn how to play with Nidalee with these essential tips.
Tags:
All
When Nidalee's Q (Javelin Toss) or W (Bushwhack) hits an enemy champion, it applies a Hunted mark that reveals them — this also empowers her first Takedown and Pounce against that target in Cougar Form, so expect a strong follow-up burst once she lands a mark before committing to a fight.
Skirmish Team Fight
Stand near Nidalee when contesting Dragon or Herald — her E (Primal Surge) heals and grants bonus attack speed to a nearby ally, speeding up your objective damage.
Late Game
Use your own crowd control before Nidalee tries to engage — she has no hard engage tool of her own, but her Q (Javelin Toss) hits much harder on immobilized targets who can't dodge it.
Skirmish Team Fight
Group with Nidalee in or near brush during skirmishes — her passive grants her bonus movement speed there, letting her reposition faster and land more of her abilities in the fight.
Skirmish Team Fight
Nidalee's Q (Javelin Toss) deals up to 200% bonus damage based on distance traveled — she can open a gank with a heavy hit from long range, so follow up quickly once you see a spear land.
Basic Lane Phase Skirmish
Nidalee's E (Primal Surge) heals for more the lower your health is, up to double the base amount when you're critically low — stay near her rather than retreating immediately if you need healing during a trade.
Lane Phase Skirmish
Nidalee's W (Bushwhack) traps grant vision for up to 120 seconds and reveal the first enemy who triggers them while applying a Hunted mark — treat her active traps as extra vision you can use to set up plays around skirmishes.
Skirmish Team Fight
Nidalee's damage falls off in late-game teamfights against tanky enemies — protect her while she uses her E (Primal Surge) to keep your damage dealers healed and attacking faster, rather than expecting her to burst targets down alone.
