What makes Nidalee dangerous
Nidalee throws long-range spears (Q) that deal more damage the farther they travel and more to low-health targets, then shifts into cougar form to pounce, heal and burst wounded prey. She poke-ganks and picks off low targets, but she's very squishy and reliant on landing her spears.
How to play against Nidalee
- 1Dodge her spears (Q) — they're her main damage and hit harder from range and on low-health targets. Stand behind minions and don't stay low.
- 2She's extremely squishy — if you can reach her (she has no hard escape in human form), burst her down.
- 3Don't sit at low health near her — her cougar Q executes wounded targets. Heal up before she can pounce.
- 4She has no hard CC — group up and she can't pick you if you don't overextend into her spears.
Weaknesses to exploit
- ✓Extremely squishy — burst her if you reach her.
- ✓Spear-reliant — dodge Q and she does little.
- ✓No hard CC.
- ✓Weak if denied poke picks; falls off vs tanky teams.
Abilities & how to counter them
What each of Nidalee's abilities does — and how to play around it.
P
A cacciaMuoversi nell'erba alta aumenta la velocità di movimento di Nidalee del 10% per 2 secondi, e del 30% se si dirige verso un campione nemico visibile nell'arco di 1400 unità.Colpire campioni o mostri con Lancio del giavellotto o Trappola dannosa attiva una Caccia, che dona Visione magica contro di loro per 4 secondi. In questo periodo, Nidalee ottiene il 10% di velocità di movimento (che aumenta a 30% verso i bersagli cacciati) e il suo Colpo fatale e Balzo ai loro danni sono potenziati.
Q
Lancio del giavellotto / Colpo fataleNella sua forma umana, Nidalee lancia un giavellotto appuntito che infligge danni proporzionalmente alla distanza percorsa. Come puma, il suo prossimo attacco cercherà di ferire fatalmente il proprio bersaglio infliggendo danni in misura inversamente proporzionale alla salute del bersaglio.
Strong: a long-range spear that hits harder from distance and on low-health targets. Weak: dodge it behind minions and don't stay low — it's her whole threat.
W
Trappola dannosa / BalzoNella sua forma umana, Nidalee piazza una trappola per i suoi sprovveduti avversari che, se attivata, danneggia e rivela il bersaglio. In forma di puma, balza in avanti e infligge una piccola quantità di danni quando atterra.
E
Spirito primitivo / ArtiglioNella sua forma umana, Nidalee richiama lo spirito del puma per guarire i suoi alleati e infonderli di velocità d'attacco per un breve periodo. Come puma, si scaglia con i suoi artigli in una direzione infliggendo danni ai nemici davanti a lei.
R
Aspetto del pumaNidalee si trasforma in un puma, ottenendo nuove abilità.
Strong: cougar form to pounce, heal and execute wounded prey. Weak: she's extremely squishy in this range — burst her when she dives in.
Itemization
Nidalee is a poke/assassin jungler. Dodge her spears, don't stay low (her cougar Q executes), and burst her (very squishy). Group up to deny her picks.
