AP nid is kinda weak right now, especially this meta, so don't feel bad if you can't do well with her. I posted a description on what you can do with AD nid top though: http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/tips-tricks/45lnZn1N-double-standards-how-do-i-play-nidalee-and-how-lane-vs-a-tryndamere-help-a-silver-scrublord

However, if you're adamant on AP nid, just keep a note of her downfalls. -Spears, her main harass skill, is hard to land and easy to avoid (hide behind minions) -She has no human form waveclear, which makes the enemy push minions to your tower, thus making last hit harder and losing turret hp. -If she goes cat form to waveclear, she is highly susceptible to enemy harass. -She is squishy and blows up quickly, mid laners tends to be nukers/assassins

So in essence, you can't start anything until the enemy screws up, for instance, if an enemy misses their skills. Nidalee is good against champions like lux, brand, etc. Lets use a caster type as an example: Zed -He misses a shadow>shuriken combo and wastes his spinning slash on minions -You either (R>W) to dodge or he just misses -If you used R>W then move towards him R>Q>R>W>E>Q (Hitting a spear refreshes cooldown on R) -If he missed and you're in human form then E> AA(Auto attack)> AA> Q> R> W> E> Q Always E first unless you're sure you can just kill with a takedown (cat form Q)

If you're certain he/she used their cooldowns; don't be afraid to jump in on them in couger form W> E> Q does alot of damage, it just leaves you very vulnerable to a counter attack.

In terms of build, go item 3070 if you're very confident in lane, if not go item 3028 against AP and item 3191 against Ad (like zed yasuo, etc). You will need either item 3070 or item 3028 but never both. Afterwards good items are item 3020 , item 3089 ,item 3135 ,item 3100 , item 3174 , item 3157, item 3003

If you're dominating early on but have concerns for the future going item 3027 isn't bad, but defensively going item 3102 , item 3083, item 3116, item 3026 is recommended. Should have atleast 1 defensive item, unless you're doing really good and item 3157 and or item 3040 is enough.

if they step on your trap they get the hunted status

iirc, you cant do anything while you are in human form however if u turn into jour kitty mode, you can jump on them

combos are as simple as land a spear->go kitty->jump to them->claw them->jump away
