 | Nidalee - the Bestial HuntressPrimary: Assassin / Secondary: Support There are few dwellers, let alone champions, residing in the blasted and dangerous lands that lie south of the Great Barrier. Much of that world still bears the scars of past Runes Wars, especially the mysterious Kumungu Jungle. There are long-forgotten treasures in these strange places which many risk life and limb to acquire. The champion known as Nidalee was only a young girl travelling with her treasure-seeking parents when they lost their way in the dense, rainy jungles. The jungle was unforgiving, and she watched her parents suffer agonizing final days as they fell victim to a mysterious and vicious disease. Cost: 3150 IP or 790 RP |

★ General Strategy
✔ Playing as
- Use brush to your advantage! Moving in and out of brush can heavily alter your effectiveness in battle.
- In team fights start by harassing with your Javelin Toss, and then switch to cougar form to chase down anyone who flees.
- Cougar abilities have no cost associated with them, allowing you to maintain a full stack of Guinsoo's Rageblade for extended periods of time.
✗ Playing against
- Nidalee's traps are difficult to see, but are visible to both teams.
- Nidalee's Javelin Toss deals more damage the farther she is. If she is far away, it's imperative to dodge it.
- It's difficult to catch a Nidalee pouncing away, so be selective about when to pursue her.
