Is Nidalee better when played alongside Brand?

There is no universally accepted best champion pairing for Nidalee that will 100% of the time be her top synergy. Yet, Brand is a not very good teammate for Nidalee. By being on the same side as Nidalee, he drops their win rate by -2.4% to 42.4%. This signals that there is a harmful synergy between Nidalee and Brand that results in them performing worse together than without each other.

Brand has a much lower diffuclty than Nidalee. That means Nidalee players don't need to be very careful when enlisting Brand teammates to fight alongside, as they will need a much lower level of skill to fight well with you.

Working alongside, Nidalee players will likely see an overall large increase in your team’s ability to to do a lot of AP damage. Together, these champs can deal quite a lot of AP type damage.

Although, by pairing Nidalee and Brand together, you will not be granting your side very much engage. We recommend you bring other champs on your team that neutralizes this relative hole in this pairing's potential.

Regardless of your Brand ally's skill level, you need to focus on maximizing your gold income, outlasting your enemies, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you should do well, regardless.
