I've had brief affair with AD bruiser Nidalee and was on my way home to her AP when i thought, why not both? As AD Nid I enjoyed her take down and AA'ing people to death with primal surge; As AP, the feeling when you land a max ranged Q taking out over 70% of a squishy's hp.

Building a manamune and a sheen lets me harass during laning with a maxed E as well as heal away any poke damage I recieved. Then as Manamune transforms into Muramana, I pick up an achangel staff and Lichbane, just about the time lanes are over and less minions get in the way of Javelin toss which I have maxed second. I get 6% of my current mana as bonus physical damage on my spears, Still have a decent amount of AP, and a nice chunk of AD to put some power behind Take Down along with Lichbane.

(Its important to wait for Muramana before buying Archangel Staff to get that bonus damage on your Javelin toss)

Boots and the last 2 items are finished off as needed, usually I go with Lucidity, Crystal Scepter, and end with Liandry's torrment giving some good chase and allowing bushwack to take out a large chunk of hp.

Hybrid runes and picking up both physical and magic masteries in offense gives the mixed damage that extra kick, allowing you to make good use of all of Nidalee's skills.

In normals it works fine, except for people calling you 'newb' cause they think that the mana from Muramana and archangels doest stack. (manamune and archangel doesn't, but once one of them upgrades they do).

I'd love to hear how this works out with a better nid player then me against tougher foes.

tldr: Manamune -> Lich bane -> archangel, play like an AD Nid during lane, Poke like an AP mid game
