Hello everyone! I'm back with another 
Nu Wa guide. This is a improvement of the Bruiser Nu Wa that was on my other guide. You can use it for both Conquest and Arena.
This build focuses on:
Magical Power - This one is obvious. Everything in Nu Wa's kit scales with Magical Power, even her basic attacks.
Defense - Since this is a Bruiser Build, you'll need items that raise your defenses and health so that you can take hits better and survive during the teamfights.
Attack Speed - The basic attacks are very important for Nu Wa. Both Flame Strike and Pillars of Heaven improve Nu Wa's basic attacks, making them her primary source of damage.
|
Pros
-Ranged and magical bruiser
-Strong basic attacks with splash damage -Fast wave clearing and very good pusher -Good Teamfight Presence -Physical Protection buff from Clay Soldiers-Different kinds of utility (stealth, minions, stun...) |
Cons
-Squishy until you get items
-Damaging skils aren't very powerful on their own -Minions leave much to be desired -Dependent on basic attacks that can be missed -Hard to master |
Elemental Crystals (Passive)
Nu Wa's passive gives her Health Regeneration (10 HP5). Everytime she uses an ability, a crystal is activated,giving her a buff for 10s: Clay Soldiers activates the Earth Crystal, increasing the Physical Protection of nearby allies; Nu Wa can recover the Health that she loses when harassed by the enemy, being able to stay in the lane longer. Nu Wa has to an escape. It will be used to escape or to catch an enemy that is fleeing. Nu Wa has such strong basic attacks. Nu Wa transforms into her true snake form, refreshing the duration of all crystal bonuses. Nu Wa creates a fog that follows her at 95% of her Movement Speed. Inside the fog, she and all allies are stealthed while enemies are damaged every second.
Nu Wa conjures minions that have Health equal to 200 plus 20% of Nu Wa's maximum health. They will push lanes and attempt to attack nearby structures, and last for 8s. The number of minions conjured increases with each level on this skill. Nu Wa conjures a burst of flame at her target location, stunning enemies and enemy structures for 1s and igniting them for additional damage every second. The damage increases the closer Nu Wa is to the source when cast. Nu Wa that relies on basic attacks. It has good damage and with the stun you can easily throw some basic attacks at the enemy. It's the buff that it grants to basic attacks that makes this skill so special, giving you the ability to clear waves really fast and damage multiple enemies during teamfights. Level up this skill first (after the Ultimate of course). Nu Wa summons four metal pillars, creating a square with an electrical field. Enemies who pass through the field take damage and are heavily slowed for 3s. Nu Wa. The damage is not the highest if the enemies are only hit once, but it starts to add up if they stay in the field; therefore it works better with other ultimates. Like Flame Strike, it improves your basic attacks, doubling their damage. Because of this, it should be used in the beginning of a gank/fight to make good use of that buff. However, you can also use it to escape or to chase an enemy that is fleeing, as the slow really helps. Level up whenever you can.
Shoes of Focus
Shoes of Focus are better in Arena because there you are constantly engaging in teamfights and always having your skills ready is very important (CDR). Feel free to use Shoes of the Magi instead if you prefer.
Shoes of the Magi Shoes of the Magi in Conquest because CDR is not as important and you want to improve your damage overall, as it will help you more during the laning phase. Feel free to use Shoes of Focus instead if you prefer.
Telkhines Ring Nu Wa relies on basic attacks, the Attack Speed and the damage boost to them is very important. The basic attack splash damage also applies on-hit effects, making this item much better. Not only that but it also gives Magical Protection that you'll definitely need. Nu Wa. It's this item's aura and attack speed that make it a very good choice. Movement Speed is always good since Nu Wa has no escapes.
Breastplate of Valor Nu Wa because of the CDR. With it and Shoes of Focus, you reach 40% and you'll be able to use your skills more often.
Focused Void Stone Nu Wa. This and Telkhines Ring give all the Magical Protection that you need. More Magical Power and Penetration to greatly improve your damage.
Demonic Grip Telkhines Ring and Witch Stone.
Polynomicon Shoes of Focus and Breastplate of Valor.
Gem of Binding Polynomicon or Demonic Grip, it deserves a mention because it makes life easier for those who have some problems hitting basic attacks.
I will continue this guide later.

And I'm afraid that you can't change the color of the rules. I like them as is; the white accentuates the color.
Very nice.
Small details..
TO DO LIST: Gameplay section; Finish Items section
Give opinions and suggestions on BBCoding.
How do I change the color of the rules?
You do a good job of explaining how skills work, why you level or not level them up, and when and when not to use them. Good work.
Another example build isn't really necessary.
Now that skills and items are done, are you going to get some gameplay?
That will take some days since I have tests now, but I will do it.

Skill Section is done!
Improved descriptions to the Last Items and Shoes, and added one to Gem of Binding.
And that's it..
Should I add another Example Final Build with CDR and Polynomicon?
Okay, yeah, you should delete them.
One problem I see with the build is the lack of any penetration, which will easily nullify most of your damage. Since you rely on basics anyway, shouldn't you go for
I have to admit, I really like the idea of Witch Stone on Nu Wa. It is definitely a novel concept yet synergizes with her quite well. I wish I thought of that. Have you considered adding
Your pros and cons sections have really improved. But as TT said, your skills section is lacking.
Possibly my favorite part is the bit on the top giving a small overview of the focus of the build; attack speed, defense, and power. I wish I could see that on more guides.
Overall, this guide has improved so much, I'll upvote. If this guide continues to progress this way, I'll definitely recommend it.
Thank you for commenting!
Hmm, I think you're right about the boots. CDR is more important on Arena (which is what I usually play) but since this guide is for both Arena and Conquest I should add Shoes of Magi.
Regarding to Etheral Staff, I had that on my old build, but I didn't feel it was very important. If you use it, there is no room for one of the last items (which improve the basic attacks) and Warlock's Sash provides enough Health. Yes, they have synergy and you get more Health and Magical Damage, but I want to focus on basic attacks and for that, the items listed are much better.
I'm happy to see you liked the Introduction and the Witch Stone!
