Use Nidalee's superior early clear speed and invades to punish Evelynn's weaker level 2-3 clears and deny her jungle tempo.
Prioritize early river control and Scuttle crab contests only when nearby lanes have priority to avoid Evelynn's counter-ganks post-6.
Jungle Plan
Path aggressively for early camp steals and invade Evelynn's jungle when she is low health or after she uses key cooldowns.
Use traps and spears to control river entrances before objectives, enabling safer Scuttle contests and dragon setups.
Prioritize dragon control early and use poke from (Q) to soften targets before committing to fights or objective takes.
Danger windows
Beware Evelynn's level 6 power spike when she gains camouflage and can flank from fog of war.
Avoid low-health clears near river entrances where Evelynn can punish with charm (W) and burst.
Be cautious contesting Scuttle crab without lane priority, as Evelynn's post-6 gank threat is high and can lead to forced smite fights.
Early game
Start with a fast full clear to reach level 3 quickly and look for early invades on Evelynn's camps before she hits 6.
Contest first Scuttle crab only if your laners have priority to support and reduce counter-gank risk.
Avoid prolonged river fights early without vision control, as Evelynn can capitalize on isolated skirmishes post-6.
Power spikes
Nidalee spikes strongly at level 3 with fast clear and spear poke; use this to force Evelynn off camps or set up invades.
Evelynn becomes dangerous at level 6 with camouflage and (R) escape; respect her flank threat and avoid isolated fights without vision.
Nidalee's poke and mobility remain strong early; leverage this to maintain tempo and deny Evelynn farm before she scales.
Win conditions
Convert early jungle tempo into repeated invades denying Evelynn's camps and forcing her to full clear under pressure.
Use Nidalee's poke and traps to secure river vision and control around dragon and Rift Herald for objective priority.
Capitalize on Evelynn's early dueling weakness by forcing fights before 6 and leveraging lane priority to set up successful ganks and counter-jungling.
