Sejuani thrives by controlling river and objective entrances to force grouped fights where her CC chain dominates.
Prioritize pathing through melee-lane setups to maximize (E) stun synergy and avoid isolated early duels against Nidalee's poke and mobility.
Jungle Plan
Secure first Scuttle only when lane priority and vision ensure a numbers advantage to counter Nidalee's poke and invade threat.
Invade Nidalee's jungle camps only when she is tracked on the opposite side or after she commits to a gank, leveraging your tankiness and CC to punish overextensions.
Focus on controlling dragon and Rift Herald setups by establishing vision and forcing grouped fights where your engage and frontline excel.
Danger windows
Nidalee's early invade window around level 2-3 is dangerous due to her high mobility and poke; avoid blind river checks without lane support.
Isolated river fights before your (R) or tank items are ready expose you to Nidalee's spear and execute damage.
Losing lane priority around Scuttle or dragon forces cautious play as Nidalee can capitalize on your forced retreats and poke setups.
Early game
Start with a controlled clear aimed at reaching the first Scuttle when nearby lanes have priority to collapse on Nidalee's early invade attempts.
Delay river contests if lanes cannot assist, opting to cross-map camps or gank opposite side to avoid Nidalee's spear poke and mobility.
Use healthy clears and vision to track Nidalee's path and avoid overcommitting to early fights without numbers advantage.
Power spikes
Level 6 unlocks (R) for long-range engage, enabling Sejuani to initiate fights before Nidalee can safely poke or escape.
Completing your first tank item boosts durability and clear speed, allowing you to contest objectives and survive Nidalee's burst.
Two tank items solidify your frontline role, making it harder for Nidalee to pick off isolated targets during objective fights.
Win conditions
Translate jungle tempo into vision control and grouped objective fights, using (R) and (Q) to lock down targets for your team.
Deny Nidalee the chance to build tempo through camp steals or isolated picks by tracking her path and punishing overextensions.
When outnumbered, trade tempo into safe camps, Void Grubs, or Herald vision to maintain scaling and reset pressure on Nidalee's tempo.
Tip: For Sejuani vs Nidalee, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Jungle lane check.
