It depends heavily on your nation.
In a Heat 3 province, a Neifle giant has an attack skill of 9 and defense of 10 as well as a Protection of 9, and than means that even with regen normal national troops can kill them pretty easily. Heck, archers on fire large monster do a good enough job.
If you are unlucky enough to fight them in a Cold 3 province, you need to get trickier. Some things that work are:
1. Stop them from Blessing. If you have fliers of any kind, you might be able to screw up their scripting long enough that they won't be able to bless their units. Assassinating the commander also works.
2. A pile of mages. Lots of low level spells work wonders when six or seven guys are spammming them. Take Sleep, for example: A hit and failed save on a Neifle giant is him being boned if he gets into combat. Spells like Rust Mist, Armor of Achilles, Acid Bolt, and Destruction also allow you to destroy their armor and allow your army to take them out easily. Since he is fielding low numbers of units, you don't need to hit too many times with spells to make him regret rushing you. Even spells like Slime can be devastating to Neifle giants.
3. Massive and fast damage. Calvary and lots of Bless chassis are made to do this, so it is pretty easy ti get together.
