Against AD bruiser Nid, which isn't too popular it's incredibly hard, almost impossible to win lane. You outscale her massivley throught mid-lategame though.

Against AP Nid you have to establish a lane presence early. Show her you won't be bullied, and try to farm up as best you can, only going in for kills when you hit powerspikes or she makes mistakes. When she goes to harrass with auto attacks, don't run away, just shoot her in the face. If she lands a spear immediately show her you are prepared to fight by pressing E. She might think twice about it. First item sheen or hexdrinker and a few mana potions should be the best route to take. You could also go for an early statik shiv but the build route leaves you weaker for about 3-4 minutes too long, (Avarice blade is 300 gold more expensive than the stats it gives, so you lose out on stats until you finish shiv out).
