The frame with an antimatter themed kit and a portal thrown in there for… some reason? I blame the Design Council for voting for that one! It’s time for Nova!
Release date: 2013-07-13
Passive: Whenever Nova is knocked down, she emits a neutron burst which knocks down and damages enemies in a 6 meter radius and 250 Blast damage.
Null Star - Creates anti-matter particles that orbit Nova and seek nearby targets.
Antimatter Drop - Launches a contained particle of antimatter that will detonate upon collision.
Wormhole - Creates a wormhole allowing instantaneous travel.
Molecular Prime - Primes all enemies in a radius with anti-matter.
Acquisition: Main blueprint can be purchased from the Market. Nova’s component blueprints can be obtained from defeating the Raptors on Naamah, Europa.
I remember when Nova released, her Molecular Prime was the best AoE ability in the game. You would press 4, all enemies would start to glow, you kill one unlucky sap and your whole screen turns bright white as everything around you turns into affinity numbers - instantly. It was glorious! Antimatter Drop was actually our first proto AoE nuke with Tigris, you could charge that thing up with silly numbers and nuke things thanks to it’s damage multiplier. I also recall DE finding out at some point that Null Star had a dmg reduction component that was never discovered and adding that to it’s ability description!
