Nidalee into Udyrmedium

Overview

Use Nidalee's very high early game pressure and fast clear speed to punish Udyr's slower first clears.
Focus on snowballing through early invades and poke since late grouped fights reduce spear impact.
Leverage traps and ranged poke to control river entrances before committing to objectives or invades.

Prioritize invading Udyr's jungle after level 3 when spear poke can force him off camps.

Use poke and traps to set up dragon or Rift Herald fights after denying Udyr camps.

Avoid Udyr's early invade attempts after his first clear when his empowered stance and stun are up.
Do not fight isolated river fights without vision as Udyr's mobility and stun make counter-ganks deadly.
Be cautious in forced smite fights on dragon or Rift Herald if Udyr has priority and health advantage.

Start with a fast full clear to hit level 3 quickly and look for early invades on Udyr's camps.
Contest first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority to avoid Udyr's strong counter-invades.

Spike at level 3 with spear poke and cougar execute; force Udyr off camps or river.
Respect Udyr's empowered stance and stun early and mid-game to avoid isolated fights.
