Nidalee: order the support relics for a transform-copy attack

Nidalee uses transform effects and an Ephemeral champion copy to create a large attack. The detailed forum reply gives both the relic order and unit order: transform support first, copy support second, and the real champion left of her Ephemeral copy.

Transmogulator

Support: Transform my supported ally into a random follower that costs 3 more.

This support trigger must resolve first so the supported champion copy becomes a follower eligible for the next relic.

Spectral Scissors

+2|+0
Support: If my supported ally is a follower, grant it Ephemeral and summon an exact copy of it attacking.

After transformation, the support trigger copies the new follower and expands the attacking board.

Lost Chapter

Play: Refill your spell mana.

The Play-triggered refill funds the brush transformation immediately instead of waiting for another round of spell mana.

1. Equip Transmogulator above Spectral Scissors.
2. Play Nidalee as her brush form and use the supplied spell mana to reveal her.
3. At the required star checkpoint, the transformation gives an Ephemeral champion copy. Attack with the real champion to its left.
4. The first support effect transforms that copy; the second copies the new follower. The inherited relic effects can then continue the support chain.

The forum also suggests Clever Camouflage for a transformed unit when the enemy responds. Inspect the targets and remaining mana before committing to the attack.

Look for Crush to help large attackers connect, prioritizing champion item nodes and avoiding support packages whose early draw item competes with finding Nidalee. These improve consistency; they do not turn every random transformation into a guaranteed first-turn kill.

Order matters: Transmogulator goes before Spectral Scissors so the champion copy becomes a follower before it is copied. Current Scissors only copies followers; pre-change champion-copy loops are outdated. The transformed support chain works with that order; some players prefer Rally and control relics instead.

Lost Chapter refills spell mana on Play and can fund the brush transformation after you play it. Hidden Tome needs a champion play or level-up, so it does not replace that initial brush refill. Crownguard Inheritance with Tempest Blade is a separate level-up control option. Surviving removal and finding a useful transformation still matter; do not treat random followers as a guaranteed first-turn finish.

Survival of the Fittest II

When an ally transforms, grant it +1|+1 and Impact. If it's the first time this round, summon an exact Ephemeral copy of it.
