Conduit upgrade is up to you.
Relics are up to you also, however I prefer to go beads and aegis and Nu Wa doesn’t have an escape.
Conduit Gem
Book of Thoth
Chronos' Pendant
Spear of Desolation
Polynomicon
Calamitous Rod of Tahuti
Skill order can be which ever you like, I prefer to level up my clay soldiers first so that I can get all 3. shining Metal is also a good start to level up, your mysterious fog should be the last to level up
Y
B
A
X
Tap each threat level to view Nu Wa’s threats
Tap each synergy level to view Nu Wa’s synergies
A more conventional mage build, good for a standard build if you’re looking for a more safe build
Conduit Gem
Chronos' Pendant
Spear of Desolation
Soul Gem
Calamitous Rod of Tahuti
Charon's Coin
Nu Wa is a really powerful god when played right, her stun can be devastating during fights and will normally end in a win for that fight. Her ultimate is extremely useful for sight of the enemies, don’t be afraid to use it off cool-down to get that information.
To be able to play Nu Wa successfully you need to play safe and learn all about positioning, never go to far alone otherwise you’ll be picked off easily by just about anyone, play behind tanks and make sure you know your escape routes.
Book of Thoth - Nu Wa has extremely short cool-downs which means she can just fire abilities as much as you want, having the extra mana from the passive will allow you to stay in fights much longer and be more affective
Chronos pendant: just gives you a bit more cool-down to help you out
Spear of desolation: who doesn’t love a bit of penetration
Polynomicon: this allows you to hit super hard after using an ability, if you can land you stun more squishy will either be dead after this hit or close to death
Rod of Tahuti: a bit of extra damage on all abilities wouldn’t be bad
Clay soldiers: levelling this ability first to get all minions will allow you to be more affective, tanking towers/objectives plus giving you a little escape if you can use minions to block enemies from getting to you, also helpful for stopping abilities like ah puch’s corpses and arachne’s spider babies
Shining Metal: extremely hard hitting but can be levelled up second due to this being a heavy hitting at 1 point
Mysterious Fog: this is your only get away but also your weakest ability, not super great for wave clear but good for a good flank or for an escape, make sure to weave in and out while running away to make yourself unpredictable
Fire shards: very high damage once it’s levelled up, this isn’t an ult you need to hang on to, use this as an extra ward. This will show where everyone is on the map, extremely useful when setting up for team fights or going for objectives like FG and Gold Fury

However, for the "normal" build I really do advise swapping Soul Gem for Reaver (want this for tanks), and swapping Coin for Shard, and tweaking the build order to something like:
Conduit (Focus/Archmage) > Pendant > Deso/Divine > Shard > Reaver > Tahuti.
