The minimum damage can also be applied against turrets.

Notes

• Takedown's attack deals basic damage, but also triggers spell effects by dealing an additional 0 spell damage.
• Increased damage to Hunted targets is displayed as a cosmetic critical strike: Unless Nidalee has critical strike chance and the attack rolled a critical strike naturally, it is unaffected by critical damage modifiers.
• Basic attacks enhanced by Takedown convert Spellblade damage from physical to magic, if it was not already magic. Their damage is however not increased by Takedown.
• Takedown's damage will apply  life steal.
• PENDING FOR TEST - Parry interactions ( dodge, block and blind).

Edit

Pounce

TARGET RANGE: 375 / 750 EFFECT RADIUS: 75 CAST TIME: none COOLDOWN: 6

	Active: Nidalee dashes a fixed distance in the target direction, dealing magic damage to enemies around her landing point.	Pounce scales with Aspect of the Cougar's rank
	Hunt Bonus: Nidalee can perform Pounce from an increased range on a Hunted enemy closest to the cursor. Nidalee can Pounce to a target location near a Hunted enemy if she is close to the Hunted enemy.	Magic Damage: 60 / 110 / 160 / 210 (+ 30% AP)
	Killing an enemy while in Cougar Form or using Pounce's Hunt bonus reduces Pounce's remaining  cooldown to a value. This has no effect if the remaining cooldown is already lower than that value.	Reduced Cooldown: 3 / 2.5 / 2 / 1.5
	Pounce will cast at max range if cast beyond that.

Notes

• Pounce will not receive the reduced cooldown if the target becomes Hunted mid-air.
• Pounce without a Hunted target will have a fixed distance and use direction-targeting.
• Pounce in the direction of a Hunted target that is inside of normal ability range will use location-targeting and place Nidalee at the target location.
• Pounce on a Hunted target that is out of normal ability range will use unit-targeting and place Nidalee on the side of the target that the target is facing.

EFFECT RADIUS: 300 ANGLE: 180° CAST TIME: 0.25 COOLDOWN: 6
