Nidalee is a champion in League of Legends.[1]

Abilities[]

Edit

Prowl

Prowl

Innate - Prowl: While in Brushmaker brush, Nidalee gains Movement speed icon 10% bonus movement speed, increased to 30% when facing a nearby Sight icon visible enemy Champion icon champion, and persisting for 2 seconds after leaving brush.

Innate - Hunt: Hitting Monster icon monsters or enemy champions with Javelin Toss Javelin Toss, or Bushwhack Bushwhack while they are nearby, applies a Hunted mark and True Sight icon reveals them for 4 seconds. During this time, Nidalee gains Movement speed icon 10% bonus movement speed, increased to 30% when facing a nearby Hunted target. Additionally, Nidalee's first use of Takedown Takedown and Pounce Pounce against Hunted targets are empowered.

The bonus movement speed from Prowl and Hunt can stack, but cannot exceed 30%.

Javelin Toss

Javelin Toss

Active: Nidalee hurls a javelin in the target direction that deals magic damage to the first enemy hit, increased by 0% − 200% (based on distance traveled).

Minimum Magic Damage:
70 / 90 / 110 / 130 / 150 (+ 50% AP)
Maximum Magic Damage:
210 / 270 / 330 / 390 / 450 (+ 150% AP)

Info
  • This ability will cast from wherever the caster is at the start of the cast time.
  • The damage amplification is based on the distance from Nidalee's location at the end of the cast time to the struck target's center at the time of collision.
    • The damage increase is very slightly higher than the spear's travel distance due to edge range behaviour of collisions and the distance being measured as the radius from the picked "origin" location at the end of the cast time, rather than just along the vector of the cast.
    • The damage increase does not have distinct thresholds based on the distance the spear travelled.
    • Picking Nidalee's location at the end of the cast time as the "origin" for the damage calculation may be unintended.(bug)

Nidalee OriginalSkin
Original
RP 790
17.12.2009
Raised in the deepest jungle, Nidalee is a master tracker who can shapeshift into a ferocious cougar at will. Neither wholly woman nor beast, she viciously defends her territory from any and all trespassers, with carefully placed traps and deft spear throws. She cripples her quarry before pouncing on them in feline form—the lucky few who survive tell tales of a wild woman with razor-sharp instincts, and even sharper claws...

Trivia[]

  • Nidalee is the first champion to have more than 4 active abilities.
  • Nidalee, Elise Elise, Gnar Gnar, Jayce Jayce, Kayle Kayle, and Samira Samira are the only champions to be conditionally considered both Ranged role ranged and Melee role melee.
  • Nidalee was the first champion to feature a transformation ability (e.g. Elise Elise, Gnar Gnar Shyvana Shyvana, Swain Swain).
  • Nidalee has four different running animations (human run, human brush sprint, cougar run, cougar brush sprint).
  • Pounce Pounce was the first ability to feature a static cooldown (was removed in V1.0.0.124).
  • Nidalee used to have a hidden passive where nearby allied champions gain Experience icon 5 bonus experience every 5 seconds if Nidalee is higher-leveled (a double-entendre).
  • In older versions of the game, Javelin Toss Javelin Toss was the highest-damage single-hit spell in the game.
  • Nidalee was deemed overpowered in the ProfileIcon0785 The Thinking Manatee Ultra Rapid Fire game mode (2014 edition) and was ultimately disabled in non-custom games.
  • After her visual rework, her feline forms received morphological features from cougars' bigger relatives, like mane, higher shoulders than haunches, long skull & jaws, & occasionally long fangs of sabre-toothed cats and other cat-like relatives.
  • Nidalee is one of the first champions to have one skin for each of the three big annual events of the year: Lunar Revel, Harrowing, Snowdown Showdown. She received her Warring Kingdoms Warring Kingdoms skin alongside Katarina's Katarina's in Warring Kingdoms 2015.
  • Given that she is a wild child, it is unknown how Nidalee could have learnt to speak languages fluently; since in the real world, feral humans who learn their first language late in life never master the linguistic aspects of phonology, morphology, and syntax.
