i build my nidalee a lot differently than your usual nidalee. Theres a lot of ways to build her depending on your play style. This build gives me tankienes , damage , as well as mana and kite . So with this build you are able to us your cougar form to its full extent . taking out the back line with cougar form then to deal damage with your spears .

There isn't any specific combo with nidalee but make sure that you q first then e when in cougar form . I do this because your e in cougar does damage in front of you , if your in position to q your in position to e . i have and a lot of fails from past experience .

Nidalee is a great champ to first pick in ranked but watch out for champs with life steal , because they can heal the damage from your auto attacks . Jarvan is you biggest counter and the one i have the most time with . He can soak up quit a bit of damage from his shield and can jump onto you with his e q combo .
