Is Nuwa not the strongest mage in the late game? Data from the King of Glory website suggests otherwise, with some believing Jiang Ziya is underrated. (Part Four)

Nuwa is a powerful champion who desperately needs to build up her economy. She's incredibly fun to play when ahead, completely dominating marksmen. Anyone who's played her in lane knows how annoying she is. Her matrix space makes opponents feel exhausted, and her combo points are hard to predict. She can be blocked and then stolen by a flash. With her incredible abilities, she can suddenly launch a full-map attack without any vision, crippling opponents in one shot. In some extreme cases, it can even be an instant death. Pro players can play her to an unparalleled degree, with timing that's beyond the average person. In some extreme cases, she can launch her ultimate skill the moment you land back at the fountain after recalling, or even the moment you step into the fountain, and the screen goes black.

Even if you're wearing a witch's cloak, you really can't have too many ideas when facing this hero. She commands the awe of a creator god, boasting a 54% win rate in the early game, 52% in the mid-game, and 53.53% in the late game. Gameplay recommendations include using teleportation for support, her ultimate skill can change the tide of battle at any time, stealing dragons can turn the tide, penetrating the matrix space grants acceleration, and her passive provides a wide field of vision. As a ranged mage, she's really hard to kill. Gan Jiang and Mo Xie, at most, use their first skill to kick people; their flying swords are randomly thrown, so accuracy is paramount. Nuwa is all about crowd control, born for team fights. She has teleportation for backstabbing, and her ultimate skill can wipe out the entire map. It's no wonder that top-tier players favor her.

Fourth place: Gao Jianli

Gao Jianli's fourth-place ranking is truly surprising. He rarely makes the list, and his skin design, hero strength, discussion level, and popularity have all plummeted. This is because his ultimate skill requires him to play the guitar at close range to generate sound waves, and the skill design leaves no room for error. In the early game, without his ultimate skill, he relies solely on string-based attacks, which are not very helpful. His win rate is less than 48%, less than 50% in the mid-game, and only soars to 53.19% in the late game.

Her existence is primarily for team fights; she's not particularly needed in the early to mid-game. Her area-of-effect damage is considerable, and calling her a single-target burst damage dealer seems a bit of an understatement. Her ability to suppress enemy health is unmatched. However, she lacks room to shine in the early to mid-game, and her scattered positioning yields little benefit. It's in the late game, when she's grouped up for fights—a chaotic free-for-all—that's where her true fighting power shines. Her damage reduction effect lowers the risk of instant death, which is the only thing the developers could do. While she's useful in team fights, she's not suitable for initiating attacks. Otherwise, enemies will immediately scatter upon seeing her. Just like with Zhen Ji, anyone with a modicum of awareness knows to stay away. It's best to wait until the opponents have used their skills before entering to finish them off. In short, don't be the vanguard; that's the wise choice.
