Warwick's high sustain and dueling power allow aggressive river control and early river fights against Nidalee's poke and mobility.
Prioritize snowballing through early duels and suppressing low-health targets to deny Nidalee tempo and objective control.
Jungle Plan
Path to pressure lanes where (W) reveals low-health targets and contest Scuttle when lane priority supports river fights.
Invade Nidalee's jungle early if she commits to full clears on opposite side, using sustain and dueling to force her off camps.
Use lane priority and vision to set up early dragon or Rift Herald attempts, leveraging Warwick's objective control and counter-gank threat.
Danger windows
Nidalee's early invade window around level 2-3 when her poke and mobility are highest; avoid isolated river fights without vision.
Forced smite fights on Scuttle or dragon when Nidalee can land spears and disengage; contest only with lane support.
Clearing camps below 50% health increases risk of being counter-invaded or burst down by Nidalee's poke and mobility.
Early game
Start on a side with volatile lanes to leverage (W) tracking for early kills and contest first Scuttle crab aggressively when nearby lanes have priority.
Use healthy clears to contest Nidalee's early fast clears and avoid extended fights if below 50% health.
Avoid early full clears without vision of Nidalee to prevent being counter-invaded during her high early pressure window.
Power spikes
Level 3 unlocks full kit with strong sustain and fear; take extended fights where (E) can absorb burst and (Q) heals.
Level 6 (R) allows long-range suppression to force picks or all-ins; use it after baiting enemy movement.
First dueling or tank item completion enhances survivability and dueling, enabling more aggressive invades and objective control.
Win conditions
Convert early dueling advantage into vision control and repeated Scuttle wins to deny Nidalee tempo and objective access.
Use (R) suppression to pick off overextended targets and snowball lane priority for dragon and Rift Herald.
Maintain pressure on Nidalee's jungle camps to delay her scaling and force her into unfavorable fights or recalls.
