Quick Analysis
SUMMONER SPELLS:
A jungle classic – Spica goes with Smite and Flash every game as Nidalee!
RUNES:
Nidalee has many viable keystone options in season 11. However, Spica prefers Dark Harvest in most of his games. And that’s for two reasons. First, Nidalee is one of the easiest champion to collect souls with. And second, her burst potential is among the highest in the game since she has two sets of abilities to delete her target.
The rest of the Domination runes are pretty straightforward. Sudden Impact is an excellent source of magic penetration for Nidalee. Eyeball Collection is a passive damage booster, while Ravenous Hunter doubles Nidalee’s healing!
The secondary runes, Nimbus Cloak and Transcendence, further enhance Nidalee’s utility. Nimbus Cloak provides a neat movement speed buff every time Spica uses Smite, while Transcendence is a free ability haste bonus.
ITEMS:
Night Harvester is the mythic item Spica prefers on Nidalee. His philosophy on this champion revolves around being quick, mobile, and efficient, and Night Harvester fits that playstyle perfectly!
The second item choice of Spica is, of course, Lich Bane. It works on both champions and jungle camps and there is no reason not to buy it. And if he is already in the lead, Spica goes for Mejai’s Soulstealer as a third item.
For defensiveness, Spica always tries to purchase Zhonya’s Hourglass, even as a second item if he needs it sooner. Then, Seraph’s Embrace can be another excellent option if you start the game with Tear of the Goddess.
Spica’s favorite boots for Nidalee are Sorcerer’s Shoes, but he is known to go for Mercury’s Treads if the enemy team has tons of crowd control.
