Nidalee into Warwickmedium

Overview

Use Nidalee's faster clear speed to reach level 3 before Warwick and look for early invades.
Prioritize invading Warwick's opposite side jungle when he is on weak clears to deny camps.
Contest river and Scuttle only when your lanes have priority to avoid Warwick's strong dueling.

Path aggressively to invade and steal camps when Warwick is low health or on opposite side.
Use traps and spears to control river entrances before Scuttle fights.
After successful invades, prioritize dragon and Rift Herald control to force Warwick reactive.

Avoid fights when low health post-clear or Warwick has fear ready.
Do not contest Scuttle or river fights without lane priority or when nearby lanes can counter-gank Warwick.
Respect forced smite fights on dragon or Rift Herald due to Warwick's sustain and dueling threat.

Start with a full clear to hit level 3 quickly and prepare for early invades.
Only contest first Scuttle if Warwick is on opposite side and your lanes can pressure his approach.
Avoid extended fights if Warwick's fear is available or your health is low after clears.

Spike at level 3 with full kit and fast clears; punish Warwick's slower clear and weaker dueling.
Respect Warwick's level 3 power spike with fear and healing; avoid extended trades.
At level 6, bait Warwick's suppression or sidestep to punish its cooldown.

Convert early camp tempo and invades into dragon and Rift Herald control for map pressure.
Use Nidalee's poke and mobility to set up picks before Warwick can suppress targets.
Deny Warwick's scaling by invading repeatedly and forcing him to farm reactively on his side.
