Rounding off

This build is one Im having success with both in middle lane in conquest, league joust and siege due to the enclosed spaces that the jungle provides. Keep her near the tank in group fights to bombard the enemy with cc that will undoubtably either scatter the enemy team or ruin the lower HP/Defense gods by pinning them down.

I apologize for the crummy layout once again

Introduction

Ok, so I apologize in advance for the layout of this guide. Im new hear and cannot work my round things very well just yet. I'll fix this as time goes on and I make more and get used to the page. This is my first guide, but Nu Wa is the first god I got to lvl X mastery, and still felt I wanted to tinker with her build.

Lately I've been finding with the release of new gods, patches and nerfs/buffs, My traditional build wasnt cutting it anymore, despite being very high power.

Summary

Nu Wa, as I found, has huge damage potential: Book of Thoth, Bancrofts Talon, Boots of Magi, Chronos Pendant, Rod of Tahuti and then any other item can do exceptional damage... but that ignores one of Nu Wa's best and surprisingly, most overlooked tools... her passive.

Nu Wa's 5 hit to root the enemy may just seem like a minor plus with the anti cc items and skills, but often, I find off a basic attack it can turn te tide of many fights, solo or team, quite quickly.

In the last few months, Ive made the analysis that most players waste beads and anti-cc on getting out of skills and ulti's, or even burning their own ulti to escape a root, slow or medusa's petrify. Nu Wa is no exception. Her 2-3 combo can cause a long stun and bead will counter it...

so imagine how it feels when a few seconds later, you root them with a basic attack, drop more minions and stun them again due to high reasonably good cooldown and a bit of patience?

Pros / Cons

Pros

    Nu Wa will build her passive extremely quickly on full build

    Nu Wa will be able to root groups for team fight extremely quickly with both rings

    the lifesteal and cooldowns with this build will make skill dropping very easy, meaning you can just mob enemy gods, objectives and towers, with basic attacks, minions, mists etc and many players, particularly hunters, will think twice about approaching you.

CONS
    Due to the nature of this build, you might not have the most power of the mages on the field, and definitely will need to stay on the aggressive side to stay alive. This ties with her recommendations of a pusher role, but often you will be as reliant on the curse and buying beads early to get out of trouble.

    Nu Wa in this build does not have the ridiculous power/lifesteal that more traditional builds I see have, so that means your sustain is slightly more limited.

Creeping / Jungling

This build by mid game will ruin the jungle camps very quickly, and also make ganking lanes very easy. Her biggest weakness in many power builds will be gone due to her relentless attack speed

Team Work

Staying near the tanks or backing up hunters in a push, this build will clear enemy waves and drive most gods away from you quickly.

Got a fenrir on you Give a few seconds and hes rooted, drop minions, press 3, stunned again. By this time, youve backed away more than his leaps distance, done considerable damage and probably landed some basics to root him again. He might run, or you can ult to put more pressure on assassin to get lost
