How it works
On-Hit Build specific
- You are going Guinsoo's Rageblade, building Attack Speed and On-Hit items.
- Thanks to Guinsoo's Rageblade, your On Hit effects are gonna trigger two times every third Attack.
- You are gonna play Carry for your team.
How to play
On-Hit Build specific
- Good first item can be Nashor's Tooth, then items like BoTRK, Titanic Hydra or Kraken Slayer.
- Remember to use Titanic Hydra active! It deals additional damage and also resets auto attack timer!
- Wit's End has really weird scaling, it starts being good around level 11. Before 11, it has really low On-Hit damage.
- Usually Guinsoo's Rageblade is not good first rush. Get it as #2 or #3 item.
Nidalee specific
- Do not try fighting in Cougar form and going in. This build relies on auto attacking, but auto attacking in Human form from distance and kiting!
- You have kit to kite enemies. Getting focused? Jump away. Or get into bush for movement speed bonus.
- Going Cougar sometimes is okay - i.e. 1v1, or for quick auto reset from Cougar Qs. Be careful!
- Use your E as self-steroid to boost attack speed.
Tips and Tricks
General
- You can use your traps (W) for bush control.
- When there's Cannon minion or Siege minion, try focusing it, so an enemy team won't destroy all your traps.
- For that reason, you can put your traps more behind your position (i.e., if an enemy team has great engage on your team).
- As Nidalee, you have your 'Ultimate' (Aspect of the Cougar) since lvl 1. You can lose track of enemy levels and get surprised by their level 6 spike and their ulti. Watch out!
Riot
- Use brush to your advantage! Moving in and out of brush can heavily alter your effectiveness in battle.
- Start team fights by harassing with your Javelin Toss, and then switch to cougar form to chase down Hunted targets.
- Bushwhack traps deal damage based on their victim's current Health. Set them up in your team's backline before fights break out during sieges to help your team deal damage to the enemy frontline.
