Nocturne vs Nidalee Matchup Summary

The Nocturne vs Nidalee matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 22 recent matches analyzed, Nocturne wins with a 59.1% win rate compared to Nidalee's 40.9%, giving Nocturne a 18.2 percentage point advantage. Nocturne dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights. This consistent advantage makes it difficult for Nidalee players to find favorable windows, so team-dependent strategies and avoiding solo confrontations are essential.

Nocturne players can confidently pick into Nidalee and play aggressively from level 1. Look to establish lane dominance early through favorable trades and zone Nidalee away from CS whenever possible. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.

Damage
661Nocturne

Utility
5.8Nocturne

Nocturne brings significantly more crowd control than Nidalee, with 5.5 more seconds of CC per minute. This large utility gap makes Nocturne far more valuable in setting up jungle ganks, controlling objectives, and locking down targets in team fights.

Sustain
1,390Nocturne

Nocturne vastly out-sustains Nidalee, healing and mitigating 176 more damage per minute. This massive durability gap means Nocturne can absorb significant punishment and remain in lane while Nidalee is forced to recall.
