Niu Mo

• His passive grants bonus dual resistance to himself and whichever nearby ally has the lowest HP.
• His 1 marks enemies, stacking bonus damage on repeated basic attacks against them.
• His ultimate deals heavy area damage and launches, then leaves a lingering slow field to keep enemies locked down.

• Passive · Powerful Backup — With an allied hero within 800 range, grants bonus dual resistance to himself and the lowest-HP nearby ally.
• 1 · Roaring Axe — Swings his massive axe for physical damage to enemies in range, marking heroes hit for 4 seconds; when the mark ends it deals bonus physical damage, and each basic attack on a marked hero stacks more bonus damage (up to 12 stacks, with extra bonus damage at 4/8/12 stacks).
• 2 · Rampage — Charges in a direction, dealing physical damage and a 0.75-second launch to enemies in the path; enemies who land take a heavy slow for 1 second.
• Ultimate · Earth-Shattering Blow — Charges briefly, then splits the earth with his axe in a direction, dealing physical damage and a 1-second launch; the torn ground lingers for 5 seconds, dealing physical damage and a 50% slow every half-second to enemies standing in it.

Build 1: Vanguard · Redemption → Boots of Resistance → Glacial Storm → Witch's Cloak → Warlord's Plate → Ominous Omen

Tip: His passive and Guardian's Aegis both give teammates huge defensive support, and Glacial Storm's slow keeps enemies locked in place once he's charged into the middle of them.

Build 2: Guardian Emblem → Boots of Resistance → Glacial Storm → Ominous Omen → Witch's Cloak → Warlord's Plate

Tip: Wings of Redemption both protects teammates and, with its speed boost, helps Niu Mo pick the right angle to charge into the fight.

Inscriptions: Fate, Balance, Longevity

Tip: As a tank-support, Niu Mo needs high HP, armor, and magic resistance in team fights to properly shield his team from damage.
