i main nidalee mid, and for the life of me i cant see at all how nid clear pre lvl 3 is even halfway decent let alone too strong. i have a much easier time jungling as reksai.
i have no idea how people are jungling as nid and i cant find a decent video to show how its done. becuase im clearly missing somthing
Watch Santorin and OddOne, they are GREAT junglers who play Nid jungle. Anyways, it is REALLY strong because she has sustain(E), and a root against monsters so she can EASILY kite them and take no damage. Start Q, Q the gromp/krug and kill it. Lvl E 2nd for heal, heal throughout the time you are killing your buff. You can do a full clear and easily still tank 1-2 lanes if you sufficiently kited the monsters and rooted them. Nid is also really strong because lategame, if she lands a spear you either back or die.....so there is nothing bad about her.
Level up Q first, then E. Start wherever your bot lane is. Hit the gromp or krugs with a spear, instantly smite, and then R + AA + Q. Whenever your cougar form Q is up, get the auto attack reset. Move to blue or red and start chugging pots.
The important part is once you get to red or blue, kite backwards in human form and heal whenever possible. If you AA + move backwards + AA and repeat, then you should have more HP after your first clear.
The new jungle is very unforgiving to people who aren't jungle mains and don't know the little details. It's a load of BS.
Pants are Dragon is probably one of the best junglers in NA, and he has a good instructional video:
Pretty sure Nid was picked for jungle in LCS?
