Nidalee
GameplayNidalee is a champion in League of Legends.[1]
Abilities
- 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).
- 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.
- Transformations do not count as ability activations for the purposes of on-cast effects such as Spellblade and stacking Force Pulse.
