Comp tier list

Nidalee and Sivir share the damage on Primal 2, with Hunter, Adaptor, Invoker and Riftbeast pairs from cheap units; Malphite and Sentinel make the front very hard to crack.

Overview

Take it from a Riftbeast or Blackthorn opener when B.F. Swords and Sparring Gloves come: Nidalee and Sivir both build Infinity Edge first. Malphite makes the front, so when Amumu comes instead, Nidalee Sivir Amumu plays the same carries. Keep Nidalee on Attack Damage items; as an Adaptor, too much Ability Power switches her ability to its other form.
