•Stay human until Hunted says go: spear or trap first, then cougar W, because Nidalee’s most common self-sabotage is pouncing off a medium spear before the mark, CC, or health bar has actually made the jump real.
•If a lane will not hold the gank, trap the ramp out of wolves or raptors and steal the camp; Nidalee with zero early lane kills still wins far more when she eats the enemy quadrant instead of burning time in a neutral brush.
•When the game gets ugly, stop front-dooring in cougar form and throw spears through allied CC for marked cleanup, because Nidalee is punished harder than several peer junglers by real early gold holes and by games that drag.
