Nidalee into Taliyahmedium

Overview

Use Nidalee's very high early game pressure and fast clears to invade and punish Taliyah's medium early pressure.
Prioritize tempo leads through fast, technical clears and early river control to deny Taliyah's objective setups.
Control river entrances with spears and traps to contest Scuttle when lanes have priority.

Jungle Plan

Path for early camp steals or counter-jungle when Taliyah shows on the opposite side or after her first clear.
Fight for river control and Scuttle when your spears and traps create a health advantage or when lanes can assist.
Use early tempo to set up dragon and Rift Herald control, denying Taliyah scaling and forcing her into team fights.

Danger windows

Beware of Taliyah's level 6 roam cutting off your escape or counter-gank angles.
Avoid isolated river fights when Taliyah has worked ground and + ready to punish dashes in chokes.
Be cautious during low-health clears or forced smite fights if Taliyah controls objective zones and lane priority is unfavorable.

Early game

Start with a fast full clear to hit level 3 quickly and look for early invades on Taliyah's slower camps.
Contest first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority to avoid risky isolated river fights.
Avoid forced fights when Taliyah's is available and lanes lack priority; focus on counter-jungling instead.

Power spikes

Spike strongly at level 3 with full -- combo and fast clears; invade to punish Taliyah's medium dueling.
Respect Taliyah's level 6 for map pressure; avoid extended river fights when it is available.
Leverage Nidalee's poke and mobility power spike before grouped fights reduce spear reliability to snowball early.

Win conditions

Convert fast clears and early invades into objective control by denying Taliyah camps and securing Scuttle and dragons.
Use poke and traps to set up river control and force Taliyah into unfavorable fights or counter-jungling scenarios.
Exploit Taliyah's limited dueling when jumped on directly by collapsing with lanes and securing picks before grouped fights.
