Use Nidalee's very high early game pressure and fast clear speed to invade Udyr's slower or weaker first clears and deny his tempo.
Focus on snowballing through early invades and poke damage since late grouped fights reduce Nidalee's spear reliability and effectiveness.
Jungle Plan
Prioritize invading Udyr's jungle after your level 3 clear when you have spear poke and Udyr's camps are vulnerable.
Fight for river control and Scuttle Crab only if your lanes can assist or hold priority to prevent Udyr's fast clear tempo from dominating.
Use poke and traps to set up dragon or Rift Herald fights after denying Udyr camps, leveraging your objective control window before Udyr's mid-game power spike.
Danger windows
Respect Udyr's early invade attempts after his first clear when his empowered stance and (E) stun are up, especially if your lanes lack priority.
Avoid isolated river fights without vision as Udyr's mobility and stun make counter-ganks deadly.
Be cautious during forced smite fights on dragon or Rift Herald if Udyr has priority and health advantage, as his sustained damage and durability can outlast you.
Early game
Start with a fast, technical full clear to reach level 3 quickly and look for early invade opportunities on Udyr's camps.
Contest first Scuttle only when nearby lanes have priority to avoid Udyr's strong counter-invade and dueling potential.
Avoid extended fights early without spear advantage; use traps and poke to control river entrances before committing to objectives or invades.
Power spikes
Nidalee spikes at level 3 with spear poke and cougar execute damage; use this to force Udyr off camps or river control.
Udyr's early and mid-game dueling power spike with empowered stance and (E) stun requires Nidalee to respect his engage potential and avoid isolated fights.
Nidalee's mobility and ranged poke give her a tempo spike when Udyr commits to full clears, enabling safer invades and counter-jungling.
Win conditions
Convert early clear speed and spear poke into repeated invades denying Udyr camps and forcing him onto the back foot.
Use river control and Scuttle vision to set up safe ganks and objective fights before Udyr's mid-game tempo spike.
Snowball through early tempo leads to pressure dragon and Rift Herald, leveraging poke damage to secure objectives and restrict Udyr's scaling opportunities.
