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.
