I think so, Nike isn't that difficult god. The problem is that her clear ( Rend) can be interrupted with some CCs, and that you have to learn the uses of Plan of Action. Do you need one more hit to clear the wave? Do you want to knockup enemies, Or are you in the middle of a teamfight and the boosted version of Sentinel of Zeus would gaurantee some kills for your team?

Beside that, even if she falls behind, Nike's passive still helps your entire team, so picking her is never a bad idea.

Nike is a pretty straight forward Goddess, but you will definitely need to watch out for Gods/Goddesses who can Taunt, Knock Up, Stun. Through my experiences, Athena and Bacchus have given me the most trouble in matches.

As Bernardozomer said, CC really messes with her Rend. You'll need to be very aware of when to use Plan of Action and when not to use it.

I've noticed that Nike's Lane Clear does fall off a bit, that's also something to be aware of and from there it's just dependent on what you build.

I typically go:

Warrior Tabi
Jotunn's Wrath
Breastplate of Valor
Bulwark of Hope
Stone of Gaia
Titan's Bane

Keep in mind that I am an exclusive Joust player so builds most likely will vary or have a different purchase order in other game modes.

Speaking from experience, Nike is not that difficult of a god to pick up. She is a good bruiser and excels in team fights when her Ultimate is up. Her Rend extends pretty far, so when chasing you can hit them from a pretty good distance away to finish them off. She does have trouble with CC gods, Papa Murmz gave a good list of gods to be wary of since they can all stop your Rend. Another one to be careful of is Tyr. You are kind of a sitting duck when using Rend and he can make you pay for it.

She is mostly ability based, so in regards to items, get Cooldown Reduction items like Breastplate of Valor or Gladiator's Shield (this would be more of a bridge item to BoV). She should have 2-3 protection items.I focus on protection items with power as well, to kill two birds with one stone. Personal favorites of mine are Breastplate of Valor Void Shield Bulwark of Hope Ancile Runic Shield. Hide of the Urchin is also a good pickup for her in my opinion.

A safe build if you want to be able to withstand damage would be : Reinforced Greaves or Warrior Tabi Breastplate of Valor Jotunn's Wrath Runic Shield Masamune. Last item can vary depending what you need. If need more physical protection go Void Shield if more Magical protection Bulwark of Hope. If going damage, Brawler's Beat Stick or Titan's Bane can be beneficial.

Another high protection build would be Reinforced Greaves Hide of the Urchin Jotunn's Wrath Breastplate of Valor Runic Shield Titan's Bane. Sell Reinforced Greaves for Warrior Tabi late game for little extra power. You will be tanky and your damage will be lacking a little bit, but you will be tough to kill. Most of your damage will come from Plan of Action and Rend combos.

Hope it helps.

I may be wrong but I have looked and could not find a way to search the forums. I will keep looking and let you know. Maybe somebody else would confirm or deny this.
