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 Qiyana

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Check her weapon's element

    Before a trade, check her weapon's element: with Ice, Elemental Wrath (Q) roots you, and with Wild, the brush element, its trail makes her invisible.

  2. Back off when she changes element

    Back off when she casts Terrashape (W): the spell resets Elemental Wrath (Q), so she can hit you twice in a row.

  3. Stay away from walls and the river

    Don't fight right next to a wall, the river or brush: Supreme Display of Talent (R) explodes along them and stuns enemies there.
