Any chance you could please make one for support Nidalee?
I know she is far from competitive as support but at least a basic guide for unranked matches for fun.
Nidalee can still solo start, either beginning with rapts>red>krugs or wolves>blue>gromp. And in the guide we do talk about what to do mid/late game including some good macro tips for any team/champ.
GL HF - she's a blast! :)
No shame in taking a leash from your laners tho! Start Q and use your auto resets (cougar Q) to speed up the 1st camp.
Hey Pyroen!
I am very glad to you for your guide!
I am gold 1 jgler and some days ago i started trying Nidalee hard.
I have too many games on her but still don't have enough skill to carry or at least be less usless in late/mid game.
So there is some questions:
-What i have to do from behind/if i can't gank/counter jungle enemies?
-How can i get dragons without my botlane?
-What guys are really easy to be counter jungled by Nid?
-What safety and fast routes also exist (4 example i have to take my 2 buffs and be in enemy forest earlier, than enemy guy and have 3rd lvl w/50% hp?
-What should i do vs early/late game champs like Master Yi or Vi?
-What items i should take to be less killable in tfgts?
Waiting for your reply :))

1. Farming your jungle on CD is a high prio, if there isn't any lane that you can gankyou can at least full clear and pressure gank one of your lanes (usually mid)
Pressure ganking is when you show up, not necessarily with the intent to kill but in order to give your laner priority to enable you to walk more freely around the map. Showing mid and helping push (not taking cs) will allow your mid laner get off a pressure recall or roam with you across the map.
2.Dragons are kind of a trap when looking at lower elo games. A lot of times team will priorities the 1st dragon and give up so much just to secure it. Since you are playing nidalee - you can clear the jungle incredibly quick. Meaning you can farm all your camps and potentially the enemy junglers topside while they attempt to secure this first drake. Use the bonus gold/xp/levels you get from counter jungling to secure future objectives.
If you are committed to taking the dragon try to at least have your topside jungle fully cleared so that the enemy jungle cant exploit your camps in the same way.
Prio to taking any objective you should look to at the minimum have mid priority. Unless you are absolutely sure you can sneak an objective you shouldn't attempt it w/o prio/proper vision.
3. Junglers that dont have fast AOE clears are typically the easiest to counter jgl. Jarvan/Viego/xin/or any tank really.
4. Fast level 3 to invade? Buff>Buff>Gromp. Gets you level 3 and into their jungle. or you can do Red/Krugs/Raptors if you are set on invading their blue.
5. Late game junglers can be exploited in the early game. Use your red buff to kite them (typically only 1 gap closer on them) Early game junglers should be avoided while you farm faster than them. Look for countergank opportunities.
6. Zhonyas.
Cheers!
Your enlgish is probably better than mine! :)
Horizon focus does work on her - as long as you are 700 units away (11.3) and land your spear it will empower the damage of THAT spear as well as subsequent damage during the debuff duration. Makes for 1 shotting enemy squishies as they walk around the jungle unwittingly.
I consider this item a luxury as most of the time you won't be able to hop in and secure a kill in a teamfight situation given the lack of defensive stats on it. Rabadons typically will outshine this item if it is a one or the other kind of purchase.
Edit: Top lane nid can abuse Grasp rune. Auto attack in human form and switch quickly to cougar... Enjoy the 100% efficiency of your grasp rune. BOOM
Nidalee can build into numerous AP items, but every game calls for a different combination of them.
These items can vary based on the enemies team composition, items they are building, your matchups against their jungler, if you and/or your team is behind.
Nidalee is an aggressive early game jungler that scales somewhat into the mid game, but falls off pretty significantly in the late game unless you take gathering storm, and build items like Void Staff, which then again she still falls off somewhat.
thank you for your awesome guide. I choose Nidalee to be my only champion since I saw her for the first time. I played LoL in season 2014 and 2015 and then I left for a while :-D. But I am back and really looking forward to ride her again. I wish to learn how to rule the jungle as this role is quite new for me.
If you have some time can you please add some guide on Wall pounces and Flash + Trapping + Warding + Spear spots and tips for aiming? There was ome good tips in this now very old Nida guide from Lexosceles:
:-) have a good hunt!
