Nidalee Build Guide

Nidalee’s jungle setup on patch 16.13.1 posts a 50.77% winrate and a 3.04% pickrate in ranked games, so it remains a specialist choice for players who enjoy her spear-throwing style and shapeshifting kit. Dark Harvest pays off her poke-and-finish approach, growing stronger each time she secures a kill on a weakened target.

Her item sequence starts with Lich Bane for on-hit damage spikes, adds Hextech Rocketbelt for movement and extra damage, and finishes with Zhonya’s Hourglass for staying power. The ability priority is Q, followed by E, then W, with Javelin Toss serving as her main harassment tool. Item timings, rune pages, and matchup notes follow in the sections below.
