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
수풀 배회수풀을 통과하면 니달리의 이동 속도가 2초간 10% 상승하며, 1400 범위 안의 눈에 보이는 적 챔피언 쪽으로 갈 때는 30%까지 올라갑니다.챔피언이나 몬스터에게 창 투척 또는 매복 덫을 맞히면 사냥이 발동되어 4초간 대상에 대한 절대 시야를 얻습니다. 이 동안 니달리는 이동 속도가 10% 상승하고 (사냥 당하는 대상을 향해 갈 때 30% 상승) 이들을 사냥할 때 숨통 끊기와 급습이 강화됩니다.
Q
창 투척 / 숨통 끊기인간 모습일 때 - 니달리가 가시 달린 창을 대상에게 던집니다. 창이 날아가는 동안 피해가 더욱 커집니다. 쿠거 모습일 때 - 다음 공격 시 적에게 치명적인 공격을 가합니다. 대상의 체력이 낮을수록 더 큰 피해를 입힙니다.
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
매복 덫 / 급습인간 모습일 때 - 니달리가 적이 밟으면 피해를 입히며 모습을 드러내는 함정을 깝니다. 쿠거 모습일 때 - 앞으로 살짝 뛰어오르며 착지 시 주위에 피해를 입힙니다.
E
태고의 생명력 / 할퀴기인간 모습일 때 - 니달리가 쿠거의 영혼과 교신하여 아군을 치료하고 짧은 시간 아군의 공격 속도를 높입니다. 쿠거 모습일 때 - 니달리가 한쪽 방향을 발톱으로 공격하여, 앞에 있는 적들에게 피해를 입힙니다.
R
쿠거의 상니달리가 쿠거로 변신하여 새로운 스킬을 사용할 수 있게 됩니다.
Strong: cougar form to pounce, heal and execute wounded prey. Weak: she's extremely squishy in this range — burst her when she dives in.
