Nu Wa falls from the heavens and onto the battleground of the gods. New god added to SMITE

Hi-Rez studios is back from the Thanksgiving break and have brought Nu Wu "The guardian of heaven" to SMITE. Hi-Rez also seems to have more stuff coming in the next few weeks including a rework of Kali and another new god named Chaac.

Nu Wa is a mage that can cloak herself and her allied in a fog, summon clay minions to help fight, summon a blast of fire. All of her abilities activate her aura crystals that give her bonuses. She also has an ultimate that's like Thresh from League Of Legends. She summons a box that creates an electrical field. Enemies that pass through the field take magical damage and are slowed. 

• Elemental Crystals (Passive)
  Nu Wa draws upon the power of the five-colored elemental crystals. When she uses an ability, it activates its corresponding crystal for 10s, granting her an additional bonus.
