General
- Allied gods who are actively channeling abilities will now be revealed instead of stealthed when standing in Nu Wa’s fog
General
- The Clay Soldiers have taken notes from Artemis' Tusky and are coming to the battleground with some smarter tactics. The increased Range is the only direct buff, allowing the soldiers to more reliably charge when Nu Wa marks someone at max range. Outside of this they will be more responsive to enemies entering combat range, won't get stuck trying to attack, and can more quickly face and charge their enemies. Sticking closer to targets will also assist lining up the Shining Metal combo.
Clay Soldiers
- Increased charge range from 25 to 30.
- Fixed an issue where Clay Soldiers wouldn't recognize players entering their line of sight for a significant amount of time.
- Fixed an issue where Clay Soldiers would attempt to Basic Attack rather than charge.
- Fixed an issue where Clay Soldiers could be stuck attempting to Basic Attack when they should be charging.
- Clay Soldiers now rotate much more quickly, allowing them to charge to their targets faster.
- Clay Soldiers will now try to stay closer to their targets.
General
- Clay Soldiers are integral to Nu Wa really bringing burst to a fight. The lack of scaling movement speed and the long cooldown however really limited her damage capability and hurt her overall reliability. By boosting these we expect Nu Wa players to have more control over landing her full combo.
Clay Soldiers
- Increased Base Movement Speed from 365 to 365/380/395/410/425
- Decreased Cooldown from 18 to 16
General
- Fixed missing crystal sounds from intro across multiple skins.
General
- Fixed very large diamond fx appearing when firing ability #3 with Mystic Enchantress skin.
General
- Nu Wa's Shining Metal had inconsistent per-rank scaling on the stun. We are fixing it (which is a slight nerf) to ensure it has consistent scaling. With her recent changes and some itemization, we feel she can endure the 0.1s difference.
Shining Metal
- Decreased stun duration from 1/1.2/1.3/1.4/1.5s to 1/1.1/1.2/1.3/1.4s.
General
- Nu Wa has some clunkiness within her kit that limited her ability to succeed. In this patch we want to adjust these core issues and continue to watch her performance closely, especially because she benefits from some of the new mage items.
- Mysterious Fog will now re-stealth Nu Wa much more quickly, allowing her to be more evasive with this ability. Her Clay Soldiers will move faster, helping their reliability while chasing. Fire Shards will now pass over player deployables, giving Nu Wa the ability to escape Odin's Ring of Spears, or similar abilities. Additionally, she is having a few mana cost adjustments to help her early game mana consumption to better match other mages.
- While these are all buffs, they are mostly small quality of life adjustments. The only damage oriented buff coming this patch is 10% additional scaling on Shining Metal. This will help Shining Metal have more impact, even without the combo with Clay Soldiers.
Mysterious Fog
- Decreased Mana cost from 70/75/80/85/90 to 60/65/70/75/80.
- Decreased the time that Nu Wa is revealed in the fog from 3s to 1s.
Clay Soldiers
- Increased Base Movement Speed of Soldiers from 350 to 365.
Shining Metal
- Decreased Mana cost from 60 to 50.
- Increased Magical Power Scaling from 65% to 75%.

General
