Nidalee Build Guide
Nidalee’s jungle build on patch 16.13.1 sits at 50.77% winrate with a 3.04% pickrate according to ranked data, a niche pick for those comfortable with her spear-throwing playstyle and shapeshifting mechanics. Dark Harvest rewards her poke-to-execute pattern, snowballing in damage as she picks off low-health targets.
Lich Bane leads her item path for on-hit burst, Hextech Rocketbelt follows for mobility and additional damage, and Zhonya’s Hourglass closes the build for survivability. Skill order runs Q, then E, then W, keeping Javelin Toss as her primary poke tool. Full item timings, runes, and matchups are detailed in the sections below.
