"Welcome to Smite god reveal for NuWa.... Again!" I would have laugned my ass off If they started the old reveal then the video stops and like they are rolling back the tape XD Ohh and Nice ult... Karthus approved!
DarthPlaegueis Nahh thats still Zeus, he just got bored and started to walk around along the mortals You would get pretty bored too after a 1,000 years with little company around, Immortality is a bitch sometimes
The chinese are very strict when it comes to their mythology/religion, they weren't 100% satisfied with what she looked like, so in that reason, they remodelled her. Changing the spells I don't know why, MAYBE just to make it fit her new appearance and style better
Nu wa literally broke the game the way she was before, with her backdoor split push potential. Arachne is just weak. Changing the game breaking gods has priority over changing gods in need of buffs.
She was way too op on conquest and siege. I mean with a low cooldown i could literally take a tower from 100 to 0. They nerfed the minions and fix other things, i think they made her better. The only problem is the vp, it was more epic before.
Her new ultimate is definitely going to take some time to get used to. By the time it's at max level, it still doesn't do enough damage to balance out with the defenses of enemy gods. It seems like it is more of a finisher ultimate rather than one that can be used like her previous one, where you could trap enemy gods inside or block off an escape route.
RobertAniFreak Yeah, I know. What I'm saying is that the soldiers aren't predictable, and hence I can't make them do what I want. From my experience, they sometimes don't dash the moment you summon them, other times yes, they sometimes prioritize minions, other times jungle monsters, and some extremely rare cases gods...
I actually think the old Nu Wa would be a bit better than this one. Her fire attack was really good, I think the fog actually moved with her and the whole thing where her ultimate was like Odin's but you couldn't leave without taking damage instead of you can't leave at all was really cool. I really don't like the way she got nerfed. She was fine before.
chinchillaminkable probably not happening, religious nuts are going to pop out and say something stupid to get it removed. Like how they make a big deal of how female gods are dressed, but in reality they are all hypocrites. Lets put it this way, they are against it because they are the dirtiest of all. They looked at the pictures and can't hold the urge to fap, and afterwards they feel ashamed of doing so, to overcompensate they choose to go on internet and just post stupid rage comments.
chinchillaminkable I came up with an alternate hypothesis, in all the rage comments they all bring up 13 years old little boy. My hypothesis is that sexy pictures are stealing little boys away from them, and so these people rage because they don't get to have sex with little boys no more.
This Nu Wa looks better because it aligns better with Chinese Mythology and makes her feel more like a primordial goddess, which is what she is. P.S I'm gay so I'd prefer Hunkcules thannks
Raven Darkholme I know she didn't look Chinese, part of my dad's side of Chinese and I grew up in Singapore. The remodel was good but her changing her abilities felt unecessary
The ONLY thing that bothers me about NuWa is that she doesn't look Chinese, SMITE has been pretty good about making Gods look true to their ethnic origins, but NuWa looks super out of place.
Personally I feel Nu Wa doesnt and Chang'e doesnt appear chinese to me maybe even Guan yu not because of their attire, but because of the facial characteristics.
Can't say I'll miss the old Nu Wa cause I never actually played her, but this new version looks quite nice, the 1 and 2 are essentially the same as old Nu Wa while her 3 and 4 got some really nice changes to them. I also like the change to her Passive, the root for basic attacks is quite nice and makes it easier to set up combos.
New Wa seems very balanced and is very fun to play when played correctly. However, the only issue I see (May be wrong) is she requires the team to build around her. Other than that one of my Favorite Gods.
Love the new kit, but I wish that there was some kind of legacy skin or other option that players can use to get her original appearance. I personally prefer the old look more.
Wow.... Nu wa has a Karthus Ultimate and looks good, if you noticed Zeus is getting a new look which looks great and teh Ullr survivor comic looks awesome, great job Hi Rez, great job :D
i didnt play the beta and alpha but i did play her with pilars of heaven as ulitmaite. she used to gain a serpent tail when all abillities are active but now she only gets it in her ultimate
darkjadice Im no pro, but I LOVED old NuWa! was fresh/original and really cool. You could do lots of damage and push really hard. This one is...MEH... with a copy-paste of Karthus ult. Not as fun as the other NuWa
the only thing wrong with the new Nu Wa is her voice it's just too young for an primeval God but I say this they literally show her ult nerf it takes a while to launch up in the air so yea I like her just that voice not a good fit old voice ten times better
it has about .7 sec delay i think, but i agree if they don't want to increase launch time make casting time longer while not reducing the cooldown on her ulti, i don't know the ratio on her ulti but i think its above 50% so i'm pretty sure she is gonna get hotnerfed asap
well if her hair was black but her eyes and model is better than the old Nu Wa the old one look like a chinese model in every sense of the word this one seems more motherly like her lore so yea I see it but I also see why they change it
Actually the best priority should be: Fire Shards, Shining Metal, Mysterious Fog, Clay Soldiers (however, make sure to have two points at the latter, to increase the minion number a little)
If you look on their social medias they have been visiting various Smite related events. Smite is like the MOBA that is fastest to release new content.
He's not wrong. These gods are, to many people, fictional and only worshipped in the past. Nowadays, people switched to the more modern religions like Christianity or Islam or anything like that.
I find the changes hilarious. Before she was compared to karthus due to play style, her fire and aoe, then they reworked her and gave her karthus's ult. I get annoyed by comparisons too, but I found that funny.
FINALLY, I have been hoping for a god that has an ult similar to Zeus in DoTA or Karthus in LoL, thanks Hi-Rez! :) (btw I am not comparing them I am just saying I really wanted one with a similar ult)
Kinda bullshit that her ultimate can kill u in your ult for example Freya or thantos or Thor's ultimate were u go up in air she her nu wa's ultimate will still hit you so there is literalw no way to doge it or get out of range
Yea but its never stated that freya and others are immune while in their ults, so its not just nu wa who can kill them in their ult. Anyone with an applied DOT damage (like loki's stealthed attack or just a malice) will affect them as well. Cant tell you how many times ive died in my thor or freya ult from loki stealth attacking me and letting the DOTS finish me. Also, Nu Wa's ult doesnt do that much damage. Its enough to finish people who make it out of the fight with a spec of health for sure, but unless she's fed, she's not gonna kill you from 50% or even 30% of your health, especially if you have any magical protection. Also, you can use aegis (or if your chang'e, her 2 works as well).
No it really is not bullshit. Ults like Freya's and Thanatos's are OP anyway. And an Aegis item or Chang'e second ability still makes you dodge it. Also the damage is tiny.
generalwolf007 It's BS in the sense that they promised not to do lock-on abilities. Aegis and Chang don't really "dodge" they "block". I think we can all agree that no one wanted this ultimate in Smite for whatever reason.
smite. where everything is a skill shot... officially false advertisement now... i have played smite for over 1 and a half year. the first year i played every single day and its been sad to see what smite has turned into...
+pcgutten the argument for every ult before that wasnt exactly a skill shot was that it could be stopped in someway without needing to buy actives. this cant
Ray Kii ofcourse. i forgot where i posted my opinion. i shall crusify my self to fix it. do you really think i didn't want smite to change when i started playing? do you think i wanted same old same old for the rest of my time playing the game? NO OFF COURSE NOT! do you realise how stupid that sounds? however. i wanted this game to change for the better, to become more interesting and stay true to what made me originally fall in love with it... yeah they tried real hard to stay original...
Despite the fact that it has been almost two years since Nu Wa's remodeling, I want to bring this issue back to a discussion that I once thought was and is still controversial among Smite's "immortals." Having played quite a bit with the current Nu Wa and seeing on the internet the videos of the old Nu Wa from hands of professional players like Drybear, Incon. I can say from my own experience in Smite and from what I have seen in several plays that this goddess is not this OP. For something they no longer make him banned in leagues as they do to Janus, or Hercules for example and considered the following points as causing: First, it has no escape mode (which is no problem because it has never had a dash. Except the current ultimate that elevates it to heaven, but only for a few seconds). Secondly, his passive (Elemental crystals) in various ways potentiated the crystal (element) of skill that it used. Now after five basic attacks the next one rooted to the target (for this to happen you must hit all the attacks to the enemy and more importantly the sixth attack because it is the one that imoviliza). Thirdly, Fog: his first ability, although it is true that before he did not do so much damage (currently if he does damage), he followed the goddess wherever he went and slowed the enemies and by his passive increased the speed of movement of The goddess, not now, because it only goes in a straight line (limiting even more the escape towards a single direction) and increases the speed of movement of the goddess and the allies within the fog, without slowing down the impacted enemies. Fourth, Clay Soldiers: his second ability, invoked five soldiers and also by his passive provided physical protection, now, reduces the magical protections of the enemy (accumulates 3 times) and reduced the number of soldiers to three. Fifthly, Flame Strike: his third ability, stunned the enemy (for a few seconds) and did good damage in area, in addition to increasing damage from his basic attacks and transforming them into area attacks by his passive (for a certain amount of time ). [Which in situations of danger if you hit the attack and combined with Fog you could flee or kill]. Today this ability was replaced by Shining Metal, which damages / crosses enemies in a straight line and if it hits Clay Soldiers stuns and causes additional damage by scouting the soldiers [additional damage will depend on the number of soldiers Explode, this is damage for each explosion; The stun time is constant in the sense that if it exploits 1 soldiers or 3 soldiers it will be the same stun time] (this increases the difficulty of connecting skill 2 with 3 in focus situations to our goddess, with consequent failure Of the stunning and diminishing the possibility of flight, besides will have to be well positioned to hit the soldiers). Sixth, their ultimate: Pillars of Heaven apart from slowing down and causing enough initial damage in area, by their passive the goddess transformed the basic attacks into area attacks for a few seconds after the invocation of the pillars and increased their damage (The difference with Flame Strike was the much wider initial effect area, the absence of stun and the slowing down of enemies). Today this skill is called: Fire Shards; Of global effect, guaranteeing visibility of all the enemy gods and sending fragments of fire to each one of them; It does damage, not so much as the previous ultimate, neither slows down, nor converts basic attacks into area and much less increases damage from basic attacks Many say or say that it was unbalanced and that it was necessary to modify their abilities. Others like me think that efue very good to change the standard aspect, but modify their skills I do not feel it was necessary (in my inexperienced and humble opinion); If the case was that it was broken: perfect apply changes as in the case of other gods, but do not modify their abilities so deeply (why then do not they bring down Ah Puch his harm, or Janus? And what do they tell me about Hercules? Gods make them banned in their broken leagues (just to name a few, not to mention Anhur.) None of them have changed their abilities so deeply
I really loved the original Nu Wa (she was the first god I ever mained), but the one argument I've heard that I can't argue with is just that her original play style was something that the devs thought shouldn't be in the game. Her original play style could be style could be summed up as "backdoor-ing". If a tower was left unattended then she could sneak out of the jungle and then summon her own wave of minions to get instant access to the tower. Even if the enemy came back to protect it, Nu Wa had the tools to instantly harass any tower left unattended. It's a play style that a lot of players found maddening to deal with. I never got a chance to see it, but I've heard people say that she could turn entire games around all on her own. The issue was never that she was over powered. Her damage and utility was below average. The issue was that she could punch holes in their defenses without any assistance. Then again, even as I'm saying this I'm thinking that Loki's play style is by no means healthy, yet he hasn't been changed since his creation.
I didn't get to try her old skills so I can't do the comparison , however NuWa's one of my mains now and I simply love her kit . I know a lot of people are saying her rework kit is shit or that she's just a useless God in general , however I managed to understand the combos and play her quite well after a few games .
TBH in her current state, shes actually a pretty good mage, with high damaging combos, but hard to fully execute. Landing her 2-3 combo is also alot harder than what people think, needing to align the soldier and the metal shard. The negativity from the community is mainly cuz she was changed from a very unique and special godess to a mage.
Guys PLEASE!You have to bring back the old Nu Wa,even if you bring her as another god,but with the same kit,you did this to Ao Kuang,why can't you do this to Nu Wa too?
I like her design honestly its cool! I guess im kind of on the opposite end of what most people think sense a lot of people think she looks hella sexual now but I think she was pretty in her old design and pretty in this one. She has a mystical look to her which I like and so what she is showing a lot skin. In a lot of images of actual gods and stuff they were usually naked and half dressed. Im not denying the fact that she looks really sexual but there is nothing wrong with embracing it ya know.
I agree the old Nu Wa was broken with her pushing power. I like the new combination of Clay Soldiers and Metal Shard, but Pillars of Heaven was really funny when people would get cc'ed in a wall get insta gibbed. I'll miss her snake form :s...
I am a big Nu wa user. I like the old nuwa than the new one. I hope Hirez would bring her back or at least bring her abilities 1 , 3 and ult (4) back. I like the changes in the combo of 2 and 3 now but I would rather have the old abilities 1,3 and 4 back that can still combo the minions with her flame strike. Nu wa in my opinion needs a buff from her old abilities and the buffs that I mentioned is more than enough to make her more than good in any game mode. I know people dont get her old abilities but I do. Nu wa now is just ordinary for me. I would like to request to have her remodeled back. If I were to choose between the old and the new Nuwa, I will choose the old one. Thank you.
So, why'd they rework Nu Wa? I never felt that anything was wrong with her before. Also, this is just my opinion, but I liked the old artwork/character model for Nu Wa more.
She was very Cheesy. no matter how far behind you got with her you could still split push and murder towers with no problem whatsoever, you didnt have to stay engaged through the first 15 mins of a match, and HiRez doesnt want to promote that gameplay style. Her kit was originally meant to be able to push towers really well, but instead people found she was best at backdooring and splitpushing, and she did it WAY to effectively.
Nu Wa, God of Ultimate High
1 - Smoke Weed Everyday
2 - Summon Stoners
3 - Crystal Meth Missle
4 - 420 Blaze It
PJammas What easier way to reach heaven or hell than through the nourishment of narcotics?
PJammas I smell a Nu Wa Stoner Skin
Lolol make that skin i will definitely buy it
came back on 4/20/2020 for this
This comment is very very VERY offensive to Buddhist..
Literally no one is talking about the creepy ending. Well, except for one really confused guy but that's it.
Dafuq!? That was seriously messed up! I mean they all became zombies wtf!? I kind of like the Survivor skin now!
+Alan Chang yea, what was that?
It was a teaser lol
+Alan Chang Thumps up for lore lady's op voice!
Late ,but it was a Ullr Survivor teaser skin.
"Welcome to Smite god reveal for NuWa.... Again!"
I would have laugned my ass off If they started the old reveal then the video stops and like they are rolling back the tape XD
Ohh and Nice ult... Karthus approved!
Or Zeus from Dota2...
DarthPlaegueis Nahh thats still Zeus, he just got bored and started to walk around along the mortals
You would get pretty bored too after a 1,000 years with little company around, Immortality is a bitch sometimes
DarthPlaegueis Except Zeus's ult is almost instant so it fits Karthus's better.
Karthuses' Ult was OP. But, I still never died to it, weirdly enough.
RobertAniFreak R
It has been 6 years now. Time for Nuwa's husband, Fuxi to arrive in SMITE too.
w8 what?
I have no idea why NuWa was reworked.. she was perfectly fine... there are gods that are much more in need of a rework, like Arachne.
The chinese are very strict when it comes to their mythology/religion, they weren't 100% satisfied with what she looked like, so in that reason, they remodelled her.
Changing the spells I don't know why, MAYBE just to make it fit her new appearance and style better
Nu wa literally broke the game the way she was before, with her backdoor split push potential. Arachne is just weak. Changing the game breaking gods has priority over changing gods in need of buffs.
She was not perfectly fine, as much as I'd hate to admit it.
She was virtually unbalancable because her push was so insane.
She was way too op on conquest and siege. I mean with a low cooldown i could literally take a tower from 100 to 0. They nerfed the minions and fix other things, i think they made her better. The only problem is the vp, it was more epic before.
pokesly64 the fact that people are idiots and don't know how to defend towers doesn't make Nu Wa broken...
Her new ultimate is definitely going to take some time to get used to. By the time it's at max level, it still doesn't do enough damage to balance out with the defenses of enemy gods. It seems like it is more of a finisher ultimate rather than one that can be used like her previous one, where you could trap enemy gods inside or block off an escape route.
Her 2 has the most unreliable targeting I've ever sen ._.
it's a summon
Dat AShian yeah but those damn soldiers never charge the enemy I want them to charge TT
She summons clay soldiers, THEN they dash to the next target or god
RobertAniFreak Yeah, I know. What I'm saying is that the soldiers aren't predictable, and hence I can't make them do what I want. From my experience, they sometimes don't dash the moment you summon them, other times yes, they sometimes prioritize minions, other times jungle monsters, and some extremely rare cases gods...
the soldiers are suppose to tank dmg, not do dmg
I actually think the old Nu Wa would be a bit better than this one. Her fire attack was really good, I think the fog actually moved with her and the whole thing where her ultimate was like Odin's but you couldn't leave without taking damage instead of you can't leave at all was really cool. I really don't like the way she got nerfed. She was fine before.
so when is jesus joining smite
chinchillaminkable probably not happening, religious nuts are going to pop out and say something stupid to get it removed. Like how they make a big deal of how female gods are dressed, but in reality they are all hypocrites. Lets put it this way, they are against it because they are the dirtiest of all. They looked at the pictures and can't hold the urge to fap, and afterwards they feel ashamed of doing so, to overcompensate they choose to go on internet and just post stupid rage comments.
chinchillaminkable I came up with an alternate hypothesis, in all the rage comments they all bring up 13 years old little boy. My hypothesis is that sexy pictures are stealing little boys away from them, and so these people rage because they don't get to have sex with little boys no more.
People will come and bomb the Hi-Rez studio, so probably not going to be there.
chinchillaminkable Thats what ive been saying! XD
it would just be so hilarious to see him in smite.
chinchillaminkable We won't get Jesus. Buuuut we might get Jesús, Christian Martial Artist
The remodel of Nu wa is fine, but why get rid of her abilities? Her abilities were great! #OldWaisBestWa
OldWAH!
This Nu Wa looks better because it aligns better with Chinese Mythology and makes her feel more like a primordial goddess, which is what she is.
P.S I'm gay so I'd prefer Hunkcules thannks
+Dark Digidragon according to Raven: assumptions = fact.
+Dark Digidragon The fact is she doesn't look Chinese at all and I'm Chinese I would know
Raven Darkholme I know she didn't look Chinese, part of my dad's side of Chinese and I grew up in Singapore. The remodel was good but her changing her abilities felt unecessary
Press 4.
Receive Penta.
HAHA I DONT THINK SO
If we assume all enemies have below 50 hp, then yes, but it's damage is pretty shit.
Zioke In late game the ult can do 400-800 =.=
Leo Ene
If she's fed.
Actually its possible. I got plenty of triple kills and quadra kills with a low CDR build to counter their aegis lol.
The ONLY thing that bothers me about NuWa is that she doesn't look Chinese, SMITE has been pretty good about making Gods look true to their ethnic origins, but NuWa looks super out of place.
She looks pretty Chinese to me
She honestly looks more like a Western European model in my eyes. I miss the old nu wa...
+ElrondOfRivendeII Then something wrong with you
+9dragonkings I never seen Chinese goddess have natural red brown hair
Personally I feel Nu Wa doesnt and Chang'e doesnt appear chinese to me maybe even Guan yu not because of their attire, but because of the facial characteristics.
When we gonna get Morgan Freeman?
+Inc3ndio2000 THIS MADE MY WHOLE LIFE A LOT BETTER
I just wish that they explored more with her snake form (Not just part of the animation for her ult) but I do like this new Nu Wa much better.
"Strength of Wood"
If you catch my drift
Can't say I'll miss the old Nu Wa cause I never actually played her, but this new version looks quite nice, the 1 and 2 are essentially the same as old Nu Wa while her 3 and 4 got some really nice changes to them. I also like the change to her Passive, the root for basic attacks is quite nice and makes it easier to set up combos.
RIP in peace old nu wa you will be missed ... but not much
I'm glad her abilities actually work together now, she used to just be a random clump of skills that didn't synergise at all
New Wa seems very balanced and is very fun to play when played correctly. However, the only issue I see (May be wrong) is she requires the team to build around her. Other than that one of my Favorite Gods.
3:31 lvl 14 nu wa against lvl 5 serqet
that is just mean
Plot Twist: Nu Wa was fed
Love the new kit, but I wish that there was some kind of legacy skin or other option that players can use to get her original appearance. I personally prefer the old look more.
Hey props to the voice of these God Reveals!
Her voice is so enchanting and UGH it's just awesome!
SHE POSSESSES THE INFINITY STONES.
As a legendary Nu Wa, I have no idea how long it's going to take to unlearn Nu Wa....
The woman who speaks, her S is so sharp in my ears that i get brain tumor
First we had grammar nazis,now we have diction nazis?
That's not how tumors work.
sorry im not english
IluvMetal93 Then why are you getting mad about about the way she speaks?
i just wanted to say that her S is so annoying
Wow.... Nu wa has a Karthus Ultimate and looks good, if you noticed Zeus is getting a new look which looks great and teh Ullr survivor comic looks awesome, great job Hi Rez, great job :D
Zeus has a new look since 4 days ago
Oh k then xD
The new Nu Wa's ult is more like Zuuz's ult from dota than Khartus.
THAT ULT THO. NEITH AINT GOT SHIT
That thing at the end, I was just thinking "oh look, chuck Norris is being reviled"
i didnt play the beta and alpha but i did play her with pilars of heaven as ulitmaite.
she used to gain a serpent tail when all abillities are active but now she only gets it in her ultimate
ikr
I personally liked the old one better, this is a re-work, right? Haven't played for awhile.
her new voice is a w f u l
really?! people must have been intentionally feeding for her to get any kills with that kit. She was so bad.
darkjadice Im no pro, but I LOVED old NuWa! was fresh/original and really cool. You could do lots of damage and push really hard.
This one is...MEH... with a copy-paste of Karthus ult. Not as fun as the other NuWa
darkjadice she was reworked because chinese people couldnt recognize her... she doest even look chinese after the rework
darkjadice I liked old Nu Wa. I wasn't amazing with her, but I definitely did help win a few games thanks to her amazing backdooring skills. XD
3:23 she clearly missed...
BRING OLD WA BACK IN SMITE 2❤❤❤
the only thing wrong with the new Nu Wa is her voice it's just too young for an primeval God but I say this they literally show her ult nerf it takes a while to launch up in the air so yea I like her just that voice not a good fit old voice ten times better
it has about .7 sec delay i think, but i agree if they don't want to increase launch time make casting time longer while not reducing the cooldown on her ulti, i don't know the ratio on her ulti but i think its above 50% so i'm pretty sure she is gonna get hotnerfed asap
Shaman King u know its base damage is not high right? its 400 at lvl 20 its for utility purposes
yea i know so in a way a good support ult so if i hear nerf i'm slapping somebody
She also looks too white for a chinese god. But china's happy, so
well if her hair was black but her eyes and model is better than the old Nu Wa the old one look like a chinese model in every sense of the word this one seems more motherly like her lore so yea I see it but I also see why they change it
the survivor ullr comic at the end was glorious!!!!
return the last Nu wa please
Actually the best priority should be: Fire Shards, Shining Metal, Mysterious Fog, Clay Soldiers (however, make sure to have two points at the latter, to increase the minion number a little)
Reveals are BEFORE the god, not after lol.
I loved the Survivor Ullr comic at the end. It was cool!
im sorry and I don't mean to be dick, but... it took this ****ing long for this to be made?!?
i think theyre working on something big for next patch. and maybe just released this to make up for the missing patch. i hope..
Hey are very busy
Coding is very hard. Give them time.
I know that. I was just wondering where it was
If you look on their social medias they have been visiting various Smite related events. Smite is like the MOBA that is fastest to release new content.
She is the true owner of the infinity stones
*Am I the only one who is CONFUSED right now WHY is there TWO god Reveals for Nu Wa.*
***** Thanks for clearing that up for me.
darn i liked the older one
LOVE dat ending comic, thanks Hi-Rez!
u can tell how they just "respect" religion by the god's appearances
Are you upset?
Pajama Llama u kidding me? Look at those bewbs!
+AJ_788 that's kinda rude
He's not wrong. These gods are, to many people, fictional and only worshipped in the past. Nowadays, people switched to the more modern religions like Christianity or Islam or anything like that.
+Dr. Sancheese in real drawing they are nude
I miss this version of smite god reveals
So much better then the old one :D
Agreed, I thought I was the only one!! :)
She became my second best mage after Zeus :D
Also, she's hot
there should be a motd where they bring the retro gods back for a day every friday and you can be them...
We want old Nu Wa Like to help!
I LOVE the New Wa! Her appearance, her kit, everything!
When is Jade Emperor come to smite?
I find the changes hilarious. Before she was compared to karthus due to play style, her fire and aoe, then they reworked her and gave her karthus's ult.
I get annoyed by comparisons too, but I found that funny.
are the basically using the aphro model? cause I can't tell the difference when they move
Actually.... Yes, but modified.
that comic at the end was pretty cool
is this karthus's wife?
2:21 "Concieves" is spelled wrong -- 'i' before 'e', except after 'c' = "Conceives"
sorry that just bothered me lol
so jelly of the soldier that gets a gf at the end... #foreveralone T_T
Good job hirez, you made your ONLY balanced god overpowered.
Old Nu Wa "Like A Boss" was to OP. Now this is eh no much of a threat since anyone could counter her ultra with Aegis.
you can counter anyones ult with aegis
The new Nu wa is a lot better?!
Akosa117 Acutally only Cronus you cant XD
Mads Ottsen Its like Aphrodite and Ao combined together
Akosa117 less hel and ullr :P
My old nu wa D:
Proud Rank 10 Nu Wa owner
proud rank 1 nu wa 😂
Saaaame
Next patch, design swap - full body armor for the goddesses and man thongs for the gods. Then take a public poll.
Awesome comic^^
FINALLY, I have been hoping for a god that has an ult similar to Zeus in DoTA or Karthus in LoL, thanks Hi-Rez! :) (btw I am not comparing them I am just saying I really wanted one with a similar ult)
Kinda bullshit that her ultimate can kill u in your ult for example Freya or thantos or Thor's ultimate were u go up in air she her nu wa's ultimate will still hit you so there is literalw no way to doge it or get out of range
Yea but its never stated that freya and others are immune while in their ults, so its not just nu wa who can kill them in their ult. Anyone with an applied DOT damage (like loki's stealthed attack or just a malice) will affect them as well. Cant tell you how many times ive died in my thor or freya ult from loki stealth attacking me and letting the DOTS finish me.
Also, Nu Wa's ult doesnt do that much damage. Its enough to finish people who make it out of the fight with a spec of health for sure, but unless she's fed, she's not gonna kill you from 50% or even 30% of your health, especially if you have any magical protection. Also, you can use aegis (or if your chang'e, her 2 works as well).
neverest357 And even they can get away if they just have an Aigis amulet handy.
No it really is not bullshit. Ults like Freya's and Thanatos's are OP anyway. And an Aegis item or Chang'e second ability still makes you dodge it. Also the damage is tiny.
generalwolf007
It's BS in the sense that they promised not to do lock-on abilities.
Aegis and Chang don't really "dodge" they "block". I think we can all agree that no one wanted this ultimate in Smite for whatever reason.
zeus , karthus ur new little sister is here her name is nu wa now u all play nice and have fun getting dem pentas .3.
That comic at the end, skin teaser perhaps? Bear in mind, I haven't played in about a month, so it may be old news.
I liked the old one better.
2:03 for the good stuff
this is so much better
The new karthus, HAS ARRIVED!!!!!
smite. where everything is a skill shot... officially false advertisement now...
i have played smite for over 1 and a half year. the first year i played every single day and its been sad to see what smite has turned into...
''officially false advertisement now'' xbal?
oh nooooo... thing evolving? myyyyy gawwwwd
+pcgutten the argument for every ult before that wasnt exactly a skill shot was that it could be stopped in someway without needing to buy actives. this cant
Ray Kii ofcourse. i forgot where i posted my opinion. i shall crusify my self to fix it.
do you really think i didn't want smite to change when i started playing? do you think i wanted same old same old for the rest of my time playing the game?
NO OFF COURSE NOT! do you realise how stupid that sounds?
however. i wanted this game to change for the better, to become more interesting and stay true to what made me originally fall in love with it... yeah they tried real hard to stay original...
tthat is why actives are in the game
actully they where in the game since the bigining
nw theyr just more useful
Despite the fact that it has been almost two years since Nu Wa's remodeling, I want to bring this issue back to a discussion that I once thought was and is still controversial among Smite's "immortals." Having played quite a bit with the current Nu Wa and seeing on the internet the videos of the old Nu Wa from hands of professional players like Drybear, Incon. I can say from my own experience in Smite and from what I have seen in several plays that this goddess is not this OP. For something they no longer make him banned in leagues as they do to Janus, or Hercules for example and considered the following points as causing:
First, it has no escape mode (which is no problem because it has never had a dash. Except the current ultimate that elevates it to heaven, but only for a few seconds).
Secondly, his passive (Elemental crystals) in various ways potentiated the crystal (element) of skill that it used. Now after five basic attacks the next one rooted to the target (for this to happen you must hit all the attacks to the enemy and more importantly the sixth attack because it is the one that imoviliza).
Thirdly, Fog: his first ability, although it is true that before he did not do so much damage (currently if he does damage), he followed the goddess wherever he went and slowed the enemies and by his passive increased the speed of movement of The goddess, not now, because it only goes in a straight line (limiting even more the escape towards a single direction) and increases the speed of movement of the goddess and the allies within the fog, without slowing down the impacted enemies.
Fourth, Clay Soldiers: his second ability, invoked five soldiers and also by his passive provided physical protection, now, reduces the magical protections of the enemy (accumulates 3 times) and reduced the number of soldiers to three.
Fifthly, Flame Strike: his third ability, stunned the enemy (for a few seconds) and did good damage in area, in addition to increasing damage from his basic attacks and transforming them into area attacks by his passive (for a certain amount of time ). [Which in situations of danger if you hit the attack and combined with Fog you could flee or kill]. Today this ability was replaced by Shining Metal, which damages / crosses enemies in a straight line and if it hits Clay Soldiers stuns and causes additional damage by scouting the soldiers [additional damage will depend on the number of soldiers Explode, this is damage for each explosion; The stun time is constant in the sense that if it exploits 1 soldiers or 3 soldiers it will be the same stun time] (this increases the difficulty of connecting skill 2 with 3 in focus situations to our goddess, with consequent failure Of the stunning and diminishing the possibility of flight, besides will have to be well positioned to hit the soldiers).
Sixth, their ultimate: Pillars of Heaven apart from slowing down and causing enough initial damage in area, by their passive the goddess transformed the basic attacks into area attacks for a few seconds after the invocation of the pillars and increased their damage (The difference with Flame Strike was the much wider initial effect area, the absence of stun and the slowing down of enemies). Today this skill is called: Fire Shards; Of global effect, guaranteeing visibility of all the enemy gods and sending fragments of fire to each one of them; It does damage, not so much as the previous ultimate, neither slows down, nor converts basic attacks into area and much less increases damage from basic attacks
Many say or say that it was unbalanced and that it was necessary to modify their abilities. Others like me think that efue very good to change the standard aspect, but modify their skills I do not feel it was necessary (in my inexperienced and humble opinion); If the case was that it was broken: perfect apply changes as in the case of other gods, but do not modify their abilities so deeply (why then do not they bring down Ah Puch his harm, or Janus? And what do they tell me about Hercules? Gods make them banned in their broken leagues (just to name a few, not to mention Anhur.) None of them have changed their abilities so deeply
I really loved the original Nu Wa (she was the first god I ever mained), but the one argument I've heard that I can't argue with is just that her original play style was something that the devs thought shouldn't be in the game.
Her original play style could be style could be summed up as "backdoor-ing". If a tower was left unattended then she could sneak out of the jungle and then summon her own wave of minions to get instant access to the tower. Even if the enemy came back to protect it, Nu Wa had the tools to instantly harass any tower left unattended. It's a play style that a lot of players found maddening to deal with. I never got a chance to see it, but I've heard people say that she could turn entire games around all on her own.
The issue was never that she was over powered. Her damage and utility was below average. The issue was that she could punch holes in their defenses without any assistance.
Then again, even as I'm saying this I'm thinking that Loki's play style is by no means healthy, yet he hasn't been changed since his creation.
kinda late
I didn't get to try her old skills so I can't do the comparison , however NuWa's one of my mains now and I simply love her kit . I know a lot of people are saying her rework kit is shit or that she's just a useless God in general , however I managed to understand the combos and play her quite well after a few games .
TBH in her current state, shes actually a pretty good mage, with high damaging combos, but hard to fully execute. Landing her 2-3 combo is also alot harder than what people think, needing to align the soldier and the metal shard. The negativity from the community is mainly cuz she was changed from a very unique and special godess to a mage.
hehe strength of wood...
Am I the only one who thinks they were a little bit late with this god reveal. Her remake has been out for over a week.
Narrator is really doing well with her job
Her fog need to be buff so she can escape , maybe like 3 seconds out the fog your still invisible
I'm new to this game, and there's so many mythological characters in this game
Kind of the theme of this game. It is called Battleground of the Gods after all
I swear this has been uploaded twice
Guys PLEASE!You have to bring back the old Nu Wa,even if you bring her as another god,but with the same kit,you did this to Ao Kuang,why can't you do this to Nu Wa too?
It´s Tinas drawing at the end of the lore. Nice Job Tina :)
Reckon we'll ever get Fu Xi?
She didn't miss the shining metal...
I like her design honestly its cool! I guess im kind of on the opposite end of what most people think sense a lot of people think she looks hella sexual now but I think she was pretty in her old design and pretty in this one. She has a mystical look to her which I like and so what she is showing a lot skin. In a lot of images of actual gods and stuff they were usually naked and half dressed. Im not denying the fact that she looks really sexual but there is nothing wrong with embracing it ya know.
I agree the old Nu Wa was broken with her pushing power. I like the new combination of Clay Soldiers and Metal Shard, but Pillars of Heaven was really funny when people would get cc'ed in a wall get insta gibbed. I'll miss her snake form :s...
Aaahh the comic at the end, I have to get that skin!!
The only thing I wish for is to bring back changing into the snake when all the "gems" are activeted
she can make a whole thanos gauntlet
I am a big Nu wa user. I like the old nuwa than the new one. I hope Hirez would bring her back or at least bring her abilities 1 , 3 and ult (4) back. I like the changes in the combo of 2 and 3 now but I would rather have the old abilities 1,3 and 4 back that can still combo the minions with her flame strike. Nu wa in my opinion needs a buff from her old abilities and the buffs that I mentioned is more than enough to make her more than good in any game mode. I know people dont get her old abilities but I do. Nu wa now is just ordinary for me. I would like to request to have her remodeled back. If I were to choose between the old and the new Nuwa, I will choose the old one. Thank you.
i found out that if you use Xbalanque against her you can destroy her in a matter of minutes even seconds if you time your attacks right
Everyone complaining she doesnt have that many clothes on and im here thinking she looks like a real goddess and seems very magical.
So, why'd they rework Nu Wa? I never felt that anything was wrong with her before. Also, this is just my opinion, but I liked the old artwork/character model for Nu Wa more.
She was very Cheesy. no matter how far behind you got with her you could still split push and murder towers with no problem whatsoever, you didnt have to stay engaged through the first 15 mins of a match, and HiRez doesnt want to promote that gameplay style. Her kit was originally meant to be able to push towers really well, but instead people found she was best at backdooring and splitpushing, and she did it WAY to effectively.
Nice new look!
I'll show you MY "strength of wood" hyuck,hyuck,hyuck...
No, but yeah that shit's op as FUCK.
the ending at 5:40 was so cool
So that's why it took so long to make this.
3:02 *everything in smite is a skill shot*
omfg!! ullr comic in the last mins
Nu Wa has all the infinity stones
so nu wa's ult goes from ricer thresh ult to a ricer karthus ult neat. i guess.......
I thought fenrirs ult was easiest to land, but hitting ult doesn't need skill anymore I guess
