She can invade from level 2, so early on flee her and farm the opposite side of the map.

How to play it

✓

Dodge her spear

Her Q is her main ranged burst: dodge it or eat it with Banshee's Veil to blunt her damage.

✓

Outscale her

She's stronger early, but play safe and you outscale her as the game goes on.

✓

Mind her traps

Nidalee's W traps reveal you, which is brutal for a stealth jungler: path around them.

Never contest or duel her early: she's stronger before you scale and will invade you, so play the opposite side.
