Nu Wa's Skill Set
|
|
Shining Metal spell. It's not only because of the stun duration, but it also helps to harass enemies by using the explosive damage dealt on creeps/minions.
Clay Soldiers. The more you level up the soldiers, the more effective her soldiers' passive gets; which is magical protection reduction.
Mysterious Fog, leveling up the skill will not change the cooldown of the skill, with the exemption for the spell's damage output. To be honest, it'd be wise to max this last.
the standard way, as shown on the skill guide. Nothing really to change there.
Strength of Wood (Passive): After 5 successful basic attacks, Nu Wa's next basic attack will root enemies.
Mysterious Fog (1): Fog damages enemies within the fog, dealing damage over time. It stealths allied teammates, including Nu Wa; giving herself movement speed. Please note that attacks will break stealth
Clay Soldiers (2): Summons Clay Soldiers to fight for her. Passive gives a Magical Protection reduction. When this skill is used to summon your clay soldiers to attack an enemy, you may use your third ability
Shining Metal to activate an explosive stun which also deals AOE damage.
Shining Metal (3): Nu Wa launches a mass of shining metal, damaging all enemies it hits. If it hits one of her Clay Soldiers, it explodes, dealing additional damage and stunning enemies.
Fire Shards (4): Nu Wa flies up into the clouds, gaining visibility on all enemy gods, and summoning fire shards from the sky to damage each of them.
Mysterious Fog. She's also able to initiate and deal damage with the use of her
Clay Soldiers and
Shining Metal which provides an AOE damage and Stun, while also providing a supportive kit such as her passive movement speed from
Mysterious Fog.
Mysterious Fog. It's a very inevitable skill compared to
Clay Soldiers, since the soldiers you summon can be easily destroyed. I tend to use
to only stun, which is why I max out clay soldiers last. What I look for with the use of the soldiers, is my damage from
Shining Metal and the stun duration. Another amplification and use of my passive
Strength of Wood, which is a root, is by means of amplifying my attack speed - which will be further explained within the "items" section of the guide.
Clay Soldiers and
Shining Metal will help initiate for your team, or save your behind with one hell of a stun. Use it wisely.

I personally prefer these boots on Nu Wa. Benefact it gives Mana, an extra boost of Magical Power, as well as Magical Penetration. |
|
Aside from giving you more magical boost, this item also gives you Magical Lifesteal. It's a good sustain item if you want to keep your butt in the game. This item is usually, USUALLY bought as a third or fourth item although I buy this early enough to keep my butt in the game - Purchased after Telkhines Ring
, since I'm usually bullied out of lane against physical damage bruisers in offlane such as
Divine Ruin can be purchased as a secondary item depending whether or not you are being bullied during fights.
|
|
A worthy investment for Nu Wa. This item gives a huge boost of Magical Power. It's passive? It gives 25% more Magical Power! I mean literally... steroids anyone? |
Obsidian Shard due to a recent fact that I have received all thanks to Jordenito. Thank you babycakes LOL. So according to both him and the item effects of the shard, the granted penetration would be as effective based upon the opponents' defensive stats in magical defenses. Knowing my core items already consist of both
Telkhines Ring, and
Shoes of the Magi, it already gives enough penetration which is effective enough from mid game to late game.
|
Chronos' Pendant, I learned from experience was a great late game item on |
|
Soul Reaver in my opinion, is a very situational item. When one considers a team full of chunky tanks, you'll need this bad boy to deal damage based on the enemy's max health. |
|
Divine Ruin, an item I know that would shut down life stealing or self healing |
| Warlock's Sash | My all time favorite item. Since Nu Wa's very squishy, Warlock's Sash can give her the extra health boost while increasing alot of her magical power. I personally would carry this as a late game item, knowing her wave clear is easier in the late game. |
|
Now I normally do not build this item, but when my arse is getting handed to me, this is an early item necessity. I advise that you take this item if you're laning against heavy pushers like |
| Sprint | Sprint: One of the items that never fails to save my butt in tight situations. This item helps you to escape from marksmen that tends to chase from days on end. |
| Curse | Curse: A situational active I tend to use against a healing/lifestealing dependent team. To top the healing reduction, it is also a movement speed reduction. |
| Sanctuary |
Sanctuary: I tend to use this to avoid being assassinated from any damage output from the opposing team. It's great to use if you wanna avoid Gods such as |
| Blink |
Blink: Another one of my personal favorites, when it comes to adding more mobility on myself. Sometimes the speed boost of
isn't enough; therefore, I introduce you to Blink. This Relic enables you to teleport in short distances. Something like a flash. It helps if you like juking people or avoiding closed damages such as
.

Hehehehehe
Other than that, everything is fine. Sometimes I like to rush telekhines ring on her, especially if I happen to fight against a mgical god in lane, but that's just personal preference. I do think that
The items explanations are good. Nothing more to say, really.
The skill order and section are... meh. Maxing flame strike first is the right choice, but I don't think that
There is no team fight section whatsoever. You lack gameplay in this guide.
This guide is very beautiful. It's aesthetic and the BBCoding is spot on. You do seem to not know the use of . If you put in the beginning of an item/god from the database, and then at the end of it, you'll end up with something like this:
This guide is... meh. It looks good and appealing, the items and build are fine, but the rest, aside from the aesthetics of the guide, aren't good. I... I'm not sure if I want to downvote this or not... It could be a great guide, but as of now, it's below mediocre. I won't vote. If you expand it, P.M me and I'll decide what to vote.
Your guide is RIDICULOUSLY aesthetically pleasing (almost as much as nu wa ;D) and I hope you make more guides! I can't even give too much of a decent critique because it's overall solid. Even if it isn't the best build or best whatever, you have solid logic, you put time into it, and you are straightforward. +1 from me :)
I have to say, I really love this build. I just started out with Nu Wa and I have been using this build and it works for me. And that's saying something cause I usually suck with mages.
This is coming from me. I started out with Nu Wa as well for a first mage.
Other than that, good job! ^^
