I would honestly consider Rod of Tahuti much more on Nu Wa than Ethereal Staff.

It's not a "situational" item on her.

Also buying Spirit Robe on Nu Wa is dumb unless you had Warlock's Staff or something to actually be tanky enough to benefit from the passive.

Also you wouldn't need Phantom Veil on Nu Wa, as her ultimate brings her out of Odin's Ring of Spears.

Swap Heavenly Wings for Blink Rune if you really wanted a mobility relic on Nu Wa.

I like to use Spear of the Magus in late game. Using fog in group fights provides good magica res debuf

Burst damage build 1 still caps cdr when you sell boots for spear of deso.

Also add soul reaver as an option.

Can you explain me your thought process with this Skill Leveling up? It seems really messed to me. At least for me, Nu Wa level up is clearly the Shining Metal first priority followed by Clay Soldiers (you can put a point at level 4 on Clay Soldiers to get the two minions sooner). Also you can't max your ulti before level 20.

Also I would recommend you remove Book of Thoth on your build since you don't build mana items and its passive don't proc on the god mana anymore. It would be good (if you don't wanna remove it) you build mana items to make this item passive worth, like a Book of the Dead.

For last, just a comment: Nu wa is not soo much mana hungry on the early "early" game if you build Mage's Blessing + Lost Artifact as the start + healing and mana potions.

Much better now!!

As an alternative to BoT build you could build: the start I mentioned. Rush Chronos' Pendant, Spear of Desolation, Obsidian Shard, Rod of Tahuti + situational and maybe Doom Orb to replace boots.

SmiteFire & Smite

Smite is an online battleground between mythical gods. Players choose from a selection of gods, join session-based arena combat and use custom powers and team tactics against other players and minions. Smite is inspired by Defense of the Ancients (DotA) but instead of being above the action, the third-person camera brings you right into the combat. And, instead of clicking a map, you use WASD to move, dodge, and fight your way through the detailed graphics of SMITE's battlegrounds.
