Info

  • Nova unleashes a radial wave of anti-matter particles. The wave starts 5 meters from nova and propagates at a speed of 5 meters per second for 2 / 3 / 4 / 6 s seconds before dissipating (effective range 15 / 20 / 25 / 35 m). All enemies in range are coated in anti-matter that destabilizes their molecular structure for 10 / 15 / 20 / 30 seconds.
    • Wave expansion duration and prime duration are affected by Power Duration.
    • Wave's initial 35m range is not affected by Power Range.
    • Enemies within the wave's initial range are instantly primed.
  • Primed enemies move and attack 10% / 20% / 25% / 30% slower, take 200% damage from all sources, and detonate upon death dealing 150 / 300 / 500 / 800 Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. damage to enemies within 6 / 7 / 8 / 10 meters.
    • Speed debuff and explosion damage are affected by Power Strength.
    • The value of the speed debuff is determined by adding power strength's bonus directly to the speed debuff's base value (e.g., with +30% power strength, the speed debuff will be 0.3 + 0.3 = 60% at max rank). Speed debuff cannot be increased beyond 75%.
    • Power strength less than -10% / -20% / -25% / -30% will yield a negative speed debuff that increases an enemy's speed (e.g., -60% power strength will produce a 0.3 - 0.6 = -30% speed debuff at max rank, which implies the enemy will move and attack 30% faster).
    • Explosion radius is affected by Power Range.
  • Each explosion can cause the subsequent death and detonation of nearby enemies, resulting in a chain reaction.
  • Molecular Prime does not stack from multiple Novas in a cell. M. Primed enemies can not be reprimed until their current buff or debuff wears off.
  • Nova is not invincible while casting, but she can resist knockdowns.
  • Can be cast in the air.
  • Gives Conclave rating of 50 / 50 / 50 / 50.

Augment

3 100% 9

Tips & Tricks

  • Synergizes well with Nyx's Chaos as units will attack each other dealing double damage, weakening every individual until someone dies and causes a series of chain explosions that can kill the entire group.
  • Primed enemies' bodies visibly dissolve after death by detonation, but they are actually hidden and not yet removed, thus allowing Nekros to cast Desecrate.

Maximization

Maximization is a form of specialization: mods may be blended to result in values that vary between the top-end limits listed here. Click any maximized link to learn how to build it.

  • Maximized Power Duration increases wave duration to 15.4 seconds (82 m), and increases prime duration to 77.1 seconds.
    • Reduces the explosion radius to 3.4 meters.
  • Maximized Power Efficiency reduces cost to 25 energy.
    • Decreases wave duration to 2.4 seconds (17.5 m), and decreases prime duration to 12 seconds.
  • Maximized Power Range increases explosion radius to 23.5 meters.
    • Reduces damage to 320 per explosion, and increases enemy speed by 30%.
  • Maximized Power Strength increases damage to 1,832 per explosion, and decreases enemy speed by 75%.
    • Increases cost to 155 energy.
