Nidalee's abilities

Passive, spells and ultimate

Prowl (P)

Moving through brush increases Nidalee's Move Speed by 10% for 2 seconds, increased to 30% toward visible enemy champions within 1400 range.Hitting champions or monsters with Javelin Toss or Bushwhack triggers a Hunt, granting True Sight of them for 4 seconds. During this time, Nidalee gains 10% Move Speed (increased to 30% toward the Hunted target) and her Takedown and Pounce are enhanced against them.

Playing as Teemo

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Save your dart for auto attackers

    Save Blinding Dart (Q) for the champion who relies on autos, right as they start a trade: blinded, they miss their autos.

  2. Ambush while invisible

    Stand still for a moment to turn invisible with Guerrilla Warfare (passive), then strike first: when you leave invisibility, you gain attack speed.

  3. Save Move Quick to escape a gank

    Save the Move Quick (W) sprint to escape a gank: you have no dash, and its bonus isn't lost when you get hit.

  4. Place your mushrooms on busy paths

    Place Noxious Trap (R) on busy paths: jungle entrances, around dragon and Baron, river brushes. Stealthed, it slows and reveals the enemy who steps on it.

Playing against Nidalee

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Dodge her javelin

    Dodge Javelin Toss (Q), especially from range: its damage grows with distance, and a javelin that hits empowers her cougar spells against you.

  2. Back before you get too low

    Back before your health gets too low: in cougar form, Takedown (Q) deals more damage to targets that have already lost health.

  3. Ward the brush in your jungle

    Ward the brush and entrances of your jungle early on: Prowl (passive) speeds her up there, especially when she's heading toward a visible champion.

  4. Drag the game out

    If you survive her first minutes, play for time: Nidalee looks to get ahead through early ganks and invades.
