Lillia vs Nidalee

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use Lillia's very high clear speed to out-tempo Nidalee's early jungle path and secure faster resets toward AP spikes.
Prioritize controlling river Scuttle and objective entrances to leverage Lillia's strong objective control and sleep CC in grouped fights.

Jungle Plan

Start full clears and path around lanes with setup potential for (E) sleep to maximize gank threat.
Fight for river control and Scuttle when your lanes have priority, using sleep CC to secure objectives and deny Nidalee tempo.
Track Nidalee's pathing to counter-gank early pressure and punish her if she overextends or misses spears.

Danger windows

Beware Nidalee's early invade window around levels 2-3 when her poke and mobility can punish weak clears.
Avoid isolated river fights before Lillia's movement speed and (E) sleep are active to reduce risk of being caught.
Be cautious contesting early objectives without lane priority, as Nidalee's poke and traps can force unfavorable smite fights.

Early game

Full clear quickly and reset to reach key AP item spikes before Nidalee can capitalize on early invades.
Avoid early river fights before movement speed stacks and (E) sleep are ready to prevent Nidalee's high early duel threat.
Contest first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority to avoid Nidalee's strong early invade and poke potential.

Power spikes

Lillia's AP item spikes increase damage and sleep threat; use these to force Nidalee off objectives and win teamfights.
Nidalee's early spear (Q) and cougar execute damage spike require Lillia to avoid isolated fights before her movement and CC are online.

Win conditions

Use Lillia's faster clear speed to maintain jungle tempo, enabling early resets and AP scaling.
Convert river control and sleep CC into objective setups and teamfight initiation to outplay Nidalee's poke-centric style.
Counter-gank Nidalee's early invade attempts and punish her if she misses poke to deny her tempo and scaling opportunities.
