PROWL: Moving through brush increases Nidalee's movement speed by 10% for 2 seconds, which increases to 30% if she is moving toward a visible enemy champion within 5500-range.

HUNT: Hitting enemy champions with Javelin Toss.png Javelin Toss or Bushwhack.png Bushwhack will mark them as Hunted for 4 seconds, revealing them. While moving toward Hunted, Nidalee gains Prowl's bonus movement speed and ignores unit collision. Additionally, Nidalee's first use of each of her Aspect of the Cougar.png Aspect of the Cougar abilities against Hunted will have an empowered effect.

Nidalee's first abilities are JAVELIN TOSS & TAKEDOWN

Third is LUCIAN "The Purifier"

NOTE: Only a suggestion, you can use all the champions you want or to counter NIDALEE at  solo lane or in team fights. (It depends on your game skills and your game style.)

DRAGON FORM: Twin Bite will damage all units in front of Shyvana when she uses her next autottack instead of just her target. Each unit hit will both trigger on-hit effects and grant FURY twice.
Shyvana's autoattacks against non-structures reduce the cooldown of Twin Bite by 0.5 seconds.

Shyvana's second ability is BURNOUT
