The recommended jungle path for Nidalee is a full clear starting at Red Brambleback with (Q) JAVELIN TOSS / TAKEDOWN for single-target damage. At level two, take (E) PRIMAL SURGE / SWIPE and use her Cougar form to quickly clear Krugs and Raptors. These get you to level three, where you unlock (W) BUSHWHACK / POUNCE for traps and additional mobility. Move to Wolves, Gromp and Blue Buff last to hit level four, upgrading (Q) JAVELIN TOSS / TAKEDOWN before contesting Scuttler and looking for a potential lane gank.
A Blue Buff start full clear is also a viable choice, and it boils down to which lane you'd like to focus on ganking. This variation gives you stronger early mana sustain, but delays the early Red Buff power for dueling or ganking.
Nidalee's aggression depends on landing (Q) JAVELIN TOSS / TAKEDOWN spears and following up with Cougar form damage. At level three, she can already duel surprisingly well, making invades and Scuttler fights viable against weaker junglers.

She cripples her quarry before pouncing on them in feline form—the lucky few who survive tell tales of a wild woman with razor-sharp instincts, and even sharper claws...
