Tips for Playing as Cho'Gath with Nidalee

Using Rupture on creeps in combination with Carnivore is a good way to gain Health and Mana.

If you're having difficulty feasting upon champions, try eating minions until you're larger.

Try to line up your attacks with Vorpal Spikes so that they kill minions and harass enemy champions at the same time.

Advice to Understand How Nidalee Will Play

Use brush to your advantage! Moving in and out of brush can heavily alter your effectiveness in battle.

Start team fights by harassing with your Javelin Toss, and then switch to cougar form to chase down Hunted targets.

Bushwhack traps deal damage based on their victim's current Health. Set them up in your team's backline before fights break out during sieges to help your team deal damage to the enemy frontline.
