RANK 1 NIDALEE MID GUIDE

Introduction

What's up everyone my name is tahe, I've been a nidalee player for 10 years, and challenger since S9, I used to main her in the toplane but transitioned to maining jungle in S10, and with that I started maining her jungle.

I started playing Nidalee mid last week and went from d1 to challenger in one week

Stats

BUILD

You have multiple options as to what you can build first, I like sheen on first base into lich bane in matchups where u are able to auto enough to trade, stormsurge if they are squishy or u are solo ap, ludens if its a hard matchup where you can't trade autos easily or they have a lot of poke and outrange you.

Examples :

vs squishy team

Almost always go Sorc boots, they are super super op on nidalee, especially if u pair it with stormsurge and shadowflame.

RUNES

EARLY GAME

The trading pattern is : Auto pounce away, or auto 3 times and pounce away for sudden impact + electrocute proc.

Always start W and trap around the lane where minions won't be walking on them, if the ennemy walks on the trap w on him and auto once or twice

Max your heal everygame.

Play to win your lane and focus on creating a lead by chunking your laner, you can look for roams but don't tunnel on that, you aren't forced to look for roams if they don't look promising enough.

OBJECTIVE CONTROL

Traps and getting mid prio is very important when doing objectives so think about resetting 1 min before it spawns AT LEAST, and get good traps up so that the ennemies get poked and are scared to walk in.

Think of it this way, where are the most likely to walk to get vision on baron to make sure you aren't on it, or to stop you from doing it. Put ur traps there.

MID GAME

During the Mid Game, when setting up objectives try to get there 30 seconds before it spawns so u can trap it up in the right spots (bushes and chokes). Play with vision and try to throw spears from fog.

Nidalee is really strong at this point of the game one spear can change how a fight plays out and win you the game, so try to look for the best angles possible.

LATE GAME

Push out sidelane and group up with your team, since you don't have tp you should group up at least 30-40 seconds before an objective spawns if its on the other side of the map, nidalee takes turrets really fast though so you can pressure sidelanes pretty hard.
