Nasus into Nidaleemedium

Overview

Focus on surviving Nidalee's early invade and poke pressure to reach your scaling power spikes.
Prioritize controlled clears and avoid early river fights unless nearby lanes have priority and vision control.
Track Nidalee's start to anticipate counter-invades and avoid fights when low on health or cooldowns.

Jungle Plan

Prioritize safe jungle pathing with full clears before attempting counter-invades against Nidalee's early aggression.
Contest river vision and Scuttle only when nearby lanes can pressure or when Nidalee is forced off camps.
Use lane priority to set up ganks and counter-ganks, focusing on objectives like Dragon and Rift Herald when Nidalee is low or out of position.

Danger windows

Avoid isolated river fights before level 6 when Nidalee's spear and mobility punish weak clears.
Be cautious during low-health jungle clears or forced Smite fights where Nidalee's invade potential is high.
Watch for Nidalee's early invades around level 2-3 and avoid overextending without lane priority or vision control.

Early game

Start with a full clear to minimize early invade risk and safely build stacks.
Avoid contesting first Scuttle Crab unless a nearby lane has priority and Nidalee is on the opposite side.
Track Nidalee's path to predict counter-jungling and avoid low-health fights early.

Power spikes

Level 6 grants durability to survive extended fights and punish Nidalee if caught in range.
High stacks increase dueling threat, enabling side-lane pressure and denying Nidalee jungle access.
Respect Nidalee's early clear speed and spear poke until you reach these scaling thresholds.

Win conditions

Convert stacked and durability into side-lane pressure to force Nidalee defensive pathing.
Use controlled jungle tempo and vision to deny Nidalee's invade attempts and secure early Dragons and Rift Herald.
Coordinate with lanes that have priority to set up counter-ganks and objective control, leveraging your scaling to dominate mid to late game.
