Playing as Nidalee

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Throw your javelin from range

    Cast Javelin Toss (Q) from range: its damage increases with the distance it travels before hitting.

  2. Javelin, then cougar

    After landing Javelin Toss (Q), switch to cougar with Aspect Of The Cougar (R): the target is hunted, which empowers Pounce (W) and Takedown (Q) against them.

  3. Trap your jungle entrances

    Place Bushwhack (W) at your jungle entrances: the trap stays invisible for 2 minutes, reveals the enemy who steps on it and marks them as hunted.

  4. Get ahead early

    Gank and invade a lot early on: Prowl (passive) speeds you up in brush, and even more when you move toward a visible enemy champion.

Playing against Fiddlesticks

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Stay out of his fear range

    Stay out of range of Terrify (Q), a targeted spell that reaches 575: if your range is longer, hit him from there without risking the fear.

  2. Cut his harvest short

    If you have CC, interrupt Bountiful Harvest (W): he heals during the channel, and if he finishes it, the remaining cooldown drops by 60%.

  3. Spread out from your allies

    Spread out from your allies when he arrives: Crowstorm (R) hits every enemy around him, and Bountiful Harvest (W) drains them all.

  4. Ward around objectives

    Ward the brushes and flanks around objectives: spotted in time, he loses the surprise of Crowstorm (R) and the passive fear of Terrify (Q).
