Nidalee, the Bestial Huntress, is a ranged assassin and mage champion. In fights Nidalee is a fragile champion who deals magic damage from long range poke, with healing in the kit. Here are the augments Nidalee players take most, the Prismatic items worth grabbing and the core build on patch 26.20.
When you damage a champion from far away, fire a Trueshot Barrage at them.
You already want to land Javelin Toss (Q) from long range, so each far hit also fires a Trueshot Barrage for extra poke on the same target.
Your Abilities can Critically Strike. Gain Crit Chance.
Your Javelin Toss (Q) can critically strike, so a spear that already gains damage with distance can hit even harder on a long throw.
Hitting an enemy with a non-Ultimate Ability at far range drastically reduces its Cooldown.
Landing Javelin Toss (Q) at far range sharply cuts its cooldown, so you throw more spears and apply Hunt more often, which keeps refreshing Aspect Of The Cougar (R).
In game, Hexgate puts a badge under every augment card you are offered, with how often Nidalee players take it.
